What customers say
“I'm thrilled with the work Darren has done in my garden over the last few years. He has transformed the outdoor space and has built a lovely decking area with a fence around it. Everything is finished to the highest standard and he is very easy to work with. Always punctual, clean and tidy and a pleasure to do business with. Will most definitely have him back again in the future.”

Fifteen years in the trade. One name on the work.
I'm Darren. Dragonfly Woodcraft is just me: decking, fencing and bespoke garden timber, designed and built properly.
No subcontractors and no call centre. You deal with me from the first conversation to the final walkthrough, and you have the final say on every detail.
I know what holds up in the British weather, what timber performs over ten years rather than two, and how to build something that still looks right a decade from now.
