Oak Decking

Handcrafted oak decking for timeless outdoor living
There is a quiet beauty in oak — its warmth, its strength, the way it settles naturally into a landscape. Oak decking brings that same elegance to your garden, creating spaces that feel rooted, welcoming, and built to last.
At Crystal Woods, we handcraft solid oak decking in our Dartmoor workshop, using sustainably sourced English and European oak. Each board is selected, cut, and finished with care, creating a decking surface that feels as natural as the ground beneath it and as enduring as the trees it came from.

This is not composite. It is not mass-produced softwood. It is real oak, built to mature gracefully and serve for decades.

Oak decking designed for your garden

Every garden is different, and so is every piece of decking we build. We design oak decking to suit your space — whether it becomes a quiet seating area, an outdoor dining terrace, or a welcoming path that leads through your garden.

We can create:

Raised oak decking platforms

Steps, landings and level changes

Decking with oak balustrades and posts

Integrated oak seating and planters

Decking to complement pergolas, gazebos and garden buildings

We build each section by hand and install it on site with the same precision and care we bring to our oak framed structures.

Why choose oak decking

Oak has been trusted in English building for centuries, and for good reason.

Oak decking offers:

  • Exceptional strength — naturally durable and resistant to wear

  • Longevity — hardwood that stands the test of time with proper care

  • Timeless character — develops a beautiful silvery patina outdoors

  • Sustainable material — responsibly sourced and eco-conscious

  • Natural beauty — rich grain, warm tone, and solid feel underfoot

Where many decking materials weaken, splinter or fade, oak grows more beautiful with age, creating a surface that feels truly part of your landscape.
“Due to the standard of work undertaken, I had no hesitation on using them again”
Terry Smith

Built with craftsmanship and care

Every deck we build begins with selecting the right timber. We work with sustainably sourced solid oak, chosen for its grain, density, and long-term durability.

Our process includes:

  • Hand-selecting timbers for grain and integrity

  • Precision cutting and shaping in our Devon workshop

  • Traditional fixings and techniques for strength

  • Hand-finishing to enhance texture and longevity

  • On-site installation by our skilled team

We do not use kits. We do not rush. Each piece is crafted by hand, built to complement your home and garden, and designed to last.
