Practical Beauty
Decks Designed Around Your Lifestyle
Decks aren’t just about adding space — they’re about adding value you actually use. Whether it’s morning coffee in bare feet, afternoon beers with mates or a quiet spot to dry the towels, a good deck fits your routine without needing fuss.
We think about things like drainage, privacy, airflow and sun exposure — then build with those in mind. Got an uneven backyard? No worries. Want something low-maintenance? There are always smart finishes for that.
Experienced Craftsmanship
Custom Decking Made Easy
We’re across composite options too, but still reckon a well-sealed hardwood deck just feels better underfoot. The best part? You don’t need to babysit the job or chase updates. A clear plan, quality timber and no dramas — that’s what makes a deck worth stepping onto.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need council approval to build a deck?
It depends on the size, height and placement of your deck. In many cases, decks under 25m² and under 1m high can be built without full council approval in NSW, but it's always best to double-check with your local council.
Anything over that — or built near boundaries — usually needs approval or at least a Complying Development Certificate. Licensed carpenters can help navigate this as part of the planning stage.
What is the best timber for decks in coastal areas?
For coastal environments, durability and resistance to salt and moisture are key. Hardwood species like spotted gum, blackbutt or ironbark perform well and age beautifully.
For low-maintenance alternatives, composite decking can handle salt air without warping, though it doesn’t have the same natural feel. Timber should always be properly sealed, and stainless steel fixings are recommended to avoid corrosion over time.
How long does it take to build a deck?
A straightforward deck build usually takes 3–7 days, depending on the size and site. Larger decks, sloped ground or more complex designs can take up to two weeks. Weather delays and material lead times can also play a role. A good builder will give you a clear schedule and stick to it wherever possible.
