About Woodbury
Woodbury is a traditional East Devon village sitting on the southern edge of Woodbury Common — a large expanse of heathland and ancient commons that forms part of the East Devon AONB. The village has a strong rural character, with a mix of Devon longhouse conversions, Victorian farm cottages, lodge-park developments on the village perimeter and newer executive detached homes set in generous gardens. The surrounding countryside is gently rolling red-Devon farmland, and gardens here tend to be larger than in coastal towns — quarter-acre and half-acre plots are common — with a more relaxed, informal character than suburban or urban gardens.
The larger plot sizes around Woodbury mean that decking projects here are frequently substantial — wrap-around decks, large entertainment platforms and tiered garden structures with multiple connected levels. Natural timber remains the first choice for many Woodbury homeowners precisely because of the rural setting: a quality hardwood or pressure-treated softwood deck reads organically against the red-soil Devon landscape, the green common backdrop and the mature country gardens that characterise the village. Our expansive wrap-around timber deck in Woodbury — built to follow the natural flow of a lodge-style property and offering generous square footage for outdoor entertaining — is exactly the kind of project this village produces.
Woodbury's position on the AONB means that planning considerations apply as they do elsewhere in East Devon, but the open countryside setting also brings practical benefits: there is usually good vehicular access for our vans and materials, no parking restrictions that complicate inner-town projects, and space to work freely across the full deck footprint without the constraints of a terraced city garden. For lodge-park developments on the Woodbury periphery, we work directly with park owners and managers to deliver consistent, high-quality deck specifications across multiple units in a single coordinated project. The rural setting also means that privacy screening and pergola work are in demand — creating defined outdoor rooms within large open gardens where natural shelter is limited.
Why Precision Decking in Woodbury
Woodbury's rural character and larger plot sizes demand a different approach to urban decking — we design and build at scale, understanding how to integrate substantial timber or composite structures sensitively into open country gardens without the result looking awkward or out of place.
Our experience with lodge-park developments around Woodbury Common means we can manage large multi-unit commercial projects with the same precision and finish standard as individual private installations — no subcontracting, no quality variation.
Questions from Woodbury residents
Frequently asked in Woodbury
Is timber or composite decking better for a rural Woodbury garden?
Both materials work well in Woodbury's rural setting. Natural hardwood and pressure-treated softwood read organically against the Devon countryside backdrop and suit traditional lodge and farmhouse properties. Composite is the lower-maintenance option and is increasingly popular on newer executive homes where a contemporary look and zero upkeep are the priority. We advise on the best fit for your property and style at survey stage.
Can you build a large wrap-around deck in Woodbury?
Yes — the generous plot sizes around Woodbury make large wrap-around decks and extended entertainment platforms very achievable. We have built decks of 60 square metres and more on Woodbury properties, with tiered levels, integrated staircases and pergola additions. Our survey takes full account of the garden's natural flow, levels and relationship to the house.
Do you work with lodge parks near Woodbury?
Yes — lodge-park developments on the edge of Woodbury and the surrounding Common are part of our commercial portfolio. We can deliver uniform deck specifications across multiple lodges simultaneously, working around the park's operational calendar and coordinating deliveries and waste removal on active sites.
Does Woodbury's AONB designation affect my decking plans?
Woodbury sits within the East Devon AONB, but most standard residential decks at ground level fall within permitted development regardless of the AONB boundary. Raised or prominent structures, or those on listed properties, may need planning consent. We carry out a planning review at every Woodbury site survey and advise before any work begins.
