Ground-level terraces – key information

At first glance, this structure may not look very different from a terrace built on joists or a foundation wall. However, the construction process is quite different. Building a ground-level terrace involves a different, somewhat quicker and easier process, but it still requires proper design and preparation. At Gardpol, we are well aware of this, which is why we approach every project with complete professionalism and commitment, whatever type of terrace we are installing. This is the only way to ensure that our customers are fully satisfied with the results of our work!

A ground-level terrace will, for obvious reasons, always be somewhat lower than a terrace built on a foundation wall. It often does not require the installation of additional elements such as steps or a balustrade. This, in turn, means lower overall project costs.

Building a ground-level terrace

At Garden Polska, we take equal care at every stage of our projects. We start with the design and preparation of the ground beneath the structure. If necessary, we dismantle the old terrace or porch. We then sort and dispose of the resulting waste, and prepare the ground for the new project.

Building a ground-level terrace is most often done in one of the two most popular ways. The structure can be built on low concrete slabs or directly on the ground.

Even when installing a terrace directly on the ground, several construction stages are necessary to ensure that the finished structure is functional, safe and durable. The first step is to remove the top layer of soil, known as topsoil, and then replace it with a layer of sand, gravel or sand and gravel mix. It is worth compacting this layer as well, so that it provides a stable base for the terrace.

The terrace edging and its main surface can be laid on the ground prepared in this way.

Composite ground-level terrace

At Gardpol, we build attractive and functional ground-level terraces for our customers. To be absolutely certain that the structures we create will perform their intended functions well, we choose only the highest-quality materials, such as composite decking boards. Composite is a material made up of natural wood flour and a synthetic additive in the form of:

●     PVC,

●     PP,

●     HDPE.

This combination of properties offers exceptional durability and resistance. As a result, composite decking and other architectural features are sturdy and long-lasting. They stand up well to everyday use and to many external factors, such as harsh and changeable weather conditions. Composite is resistant to wind, rain, snow, and high and low temperatures.

Composite decking, unlike structures made from natural wood, does not require special maintenance or time-consuming care. It retains its aesthetic and technical qualities for a long time. What is more, its special finish makes it comfortable to use. Its grooved surface is non-slip, making it comfortable and safe for children and older people too.

A ground-level terrace made from composite decking boards is also an attractive feature that will delight residents and their guests. When properly matched, it will become a showcase for your home and an attractive addition to the entire property.
