Carpentry Services in the Garden
Good carpentry doesn’t stop at the back door. At Maple Tree Carpentry, we bring the same level of care and craftsmanship to outdoor projects as we do to interior work. Whether you’re looking for a new deck, replacement fencing or a complete garden transformation, we offer a full range of timber landscaping services across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey.

Materials and Build Quality
We use pressure-treated timber as standard for all outdoor work, ensuring your installation is protected against rot, insects and the British weather. For decking, we also offer composite boards - a low-maintenance alternative that doesn’t need annual treating and won’t splinter or warp over time.
All our timber landscaping is built with proper foundations, whether that’s concrete posts for fencing or a solid subframe for decking. We don’t take shortcuts, because outdoor structures need to withstand everything the weather throws at them.
Working With Other Trades
We work closely with a trusted local landscaper, and together we can handle complete garden projects - combining our timber expertise with professional planting, turfing and hard landscaping. If your project needs groundwork, drainage or block paving alongside the timber elements, we can coordinate everything so you only need to deal with one point of contact.
We’ve completed timber landscaping projects across Wokingham, Reading, Bracknell, Camberley and the surrounding areas, from straightforward fence replacements to full garden redesigns.
Why Choose Maple Tree Carpentry
With over 12 years of experience, we understand how to build outdoor structures that look great and hold up over time. We take pride in clean, sturdy workmanship - tight joints, level surfaces and neat finishing. We’ll always leave your garden tidy at the end of each day and remove all waste when the job is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does decking cost to install?
The cost of a decking project depends on the size of the area, the materials used (softwood or composite) and the complexity of the design. We provide free, detailed quotes for all timber landscaping work across Wokingham and the wider Berkshire area. Get in touch with an idea of what you’re after and we’ll arrange a site visit to give you an accurate price.
How long does a fencing project take?
A straightforward fence replacement along one boundary typically takes one to two days, depending on the length and the condition of the existing posts. Larger projects involving multiple boundaries, concrete posts or sloped ground may take a little longer. We’ll always give you a clear timeframe before we start.
Do I need planning permission for decking or a garden structure?
In most cases, decking and garden structures fall under permitted development and don’t require planning permission, provided they meet certain size and height criteria. However, there are exceptions - particularly in conservation areas or for listed buildings. We can advise you on this during your consultation, and if a planning application is needed, we’ll help you through the process.
What maintenance does timber decking need?
Softwood decking benefits from an annual clean and a coat of decking oil or stain to keep it protected and looking its best. Composite decking requires very little maintenance - just an occasional wash. We’re happy to advise on the best maintenance routine for whichever material you choose.
