What types of decking do you build?

We build all types of decks, from simple backyard platforms to multi-level entertaining areas, pool surrounds, and covered pergola decks. We work with timber hardwoods (Jarrah, Spotted Gum, Ironbark) and composite materials depending on your style, budget, and maintenance preferences.

How do I get started with my decking project?

Simply get in touch to discuss your ideas. We’ll arrange a site visit and consultation to explore your vision, budget, and timeline, then provide a detailed quote.

Do you handle all aspects of the build?

Yes, we manage everything from design and planning through to construction and finishing. If council approval or engineering sign-off is required, we’ll guide you through that process too.

Which decking material is best for around a pool?

Ironbark and composite decking are both excellent choices around pools. Ironbark is extremely durable and handles moisture well, while composite is low maintenance and slip-resistant. We’ll help you choose based on your priorities.

How long does a deck build take?

Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. We provide a clear schedule upfront and keep you updated throughout the build.

Do I need council approval for a deck?

It depends on the size, height, and location of the deck. Some decks fall under exempt development while others require a DA or CDC. We can help you understand what’s required for your specific project.

How do you keep me updated during the build?

We believe in open communication and provide regular updates throughout the project. You’ll never be left guessing about progress, timelines, or next steps.

What areas do you service for decking?

We proudly serve the Northern Beaches and North Shore areas of Sydney.

Is your work covered by a warranty?

Yes, all our decking work is backed by a warranty for peace of mind. We can provide specific warranty details as part of your quote.

Can you restore or repair my existing deck?

Absolutely. We assess your existing deck, replace any damaged boards or structural components, and refinish the surface. Restoration is often a cost-effective alternative to a full rebuild.

Deck Restoration & Repair

Breathe new life into an ageing or damaged deck. We assess the structural integrity of your existing deck, replace any compromised boards or supports, and refinish the surface to a like-new standard.

Pool Decking

Create a seamless, safe, and stylish surround for your pool. We work with materials that are slip-resistant, durable, and able to handle constant moisture and sun exposure. Ironbark and composite decking are popular choices for pool areas, offering both great looks and long-term performance.

Pergolas & Covered Decks

Extend your outdoor living with a pergola or covered deck. We design and build structures that provide shade and shelter while maintaining an open, airy feel. Perfect for the Northern Beaches lifestyle, a covered deck lets you enjoy the outdoors all year round, rain or shine.

Timber Decking

We work with premium Australian hardwoods including Jarrah, Spotted Gum, and Ironbark, all well-suited to the Northern Beaches coastal climate. Each species has unique characteristics in colour, grain, and durability, and we’ll help you choose the right one for your space, style, and budget.

Composite Decking

Low maintenance and long lasting, composite decking is an ideal choice for homeowners who want a great-looking deck without the ongoing upkeep. It resists fading, splintering, and moisture, making it a practical and stylish solution for all outdoor areas.

Deck Maintenance

Keep your deck looking great and lasting longer with our deck maintenance service.

Decking Materials We Work With

Jarrah

Jarrah is a hardy product and is great to use on waterfront properties due to its high resistance to weather and salt air, making it a great choice for coastal weather and climates. It comes in light red to brown and is considered fire resistant.

Spotted Gum

Spotted Gum is another hardy wood that comes in a rage of colours and looks great lacquered or oiled. It has decent longevity and suits the local Northern Beaches climate.

Ironbark

Ironbark also comes in a range of colours and is a great choice for around pools due to its durability.

Composite Decking

Composite Decking looks great and and is an ideal choice for those looking for a deck that requires very little maintenance. It is long lasting and a great material for all outdoor areas.
