Hardwood or composite decking

We’ll help you choose decking to suit your home, its exposure and everyday use, balancing the look you prefer with the upkeep you’re comfortable with.

Timber decking boards with spacers between them, with drills and a spirit level on the surface. — Merbau decking
We recommend merbau for its stability, consistent colour and grain, and value. Longer board lengths help keep surface joins to a minimum.

Timber decking laid between tall posts, with a drill and blue tape still on the surface. — Spotted gum decking
Our preferred Australian hardwood, combining strength and durability with distinctive grain and natural colour variation. Ironbark is also available.

For a naturally weathered, silver-grey look, we’ll help you choose a suitable timber.

Grey decking boards with a long divider board running across the surface.

ModWood composite decking

Our usual composite recommendation: Australian-made decking with low upkeep and good value. We install Natural Grain, Xtreme Guard and Flame Shield.

We also install EZYdecking, Eva-Last, Millboard, Futurewood, Ekodeck and Trex.

The frame sets up everything that follows.

A solid feel underfoot, balanced proportions and clean fixing lines all start with the frame. We plan stairs, screens and balustrades into the structure, with details that shed water and allow the timber to dry.

Planning your deck

What affects the cost?

The frame, height, ground conditions, access and board choice all affect the price. Stairs, balustrades and roofing add to the scope, so a square-metre rate alone can be inaccurate. Replacement quotes typically include demolition and disposal.

Design, quote and approvals

We start with a site visit to assess the site and talk through your ideas. Your fixed-price construction quote comes with a 3D concept. Expected approval costs are itemised separately where needed.
