You have completed your decking design, drawn up a list of materials and placed your order, and assembled all the necessary tools and equipment that you will need to build and finish your new decking project.
However, you can't sit in your armchair waiting for delivery, because you have some work to do in the garden.
You must prepare the decking site ready for construction, and even an old patio or level lawn area is going to require some preparation. After working out the size and orientation of the deck, clear and prepare the site.
It is possible in some circumstances to build your decking right on top of broken patio paving, or an old lawn and flower beds, with very little preparation. However, if you want your decking to last for many years and be problem free, it is best to clear the ground.
