Benefits of Timber Decking
Timber decking remains a favourite for Sydney homeowners, and it’s easy to see why:
Natural Aesthetics:
Timber adds warmth and character with its unique grain and colour, blending beautifully with gardens and outdoor spaces.
Extended Living Space:
A deck offers a dedicated area for relaxing, dining, or entertaining—perfect for Sydney’s outdoor lifestyle.
Boosts Property Value:
A well-built deck improves curb appeal and can increase your home’s resale value.
Design Flexibility:
Timber can be shaped around trees, pools, or sloping blocks. Multi-level decks or built-in seating? No problem.
Durable & Comfortable:
Quality hardwoods like Merbau or Spotted Gum are weather- and termite-resistant. Plus, timber stays cooler underfoot than concrete or tiles.
Eco-Friendly Option:
We source timber responsibly and offer sustainable choices, including FSC-certified products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dive into our FAQ section for insights on our deck-building process, materials, and more, ensuring you’re fully informed before starting your project with us.
Choosing between timber and composite decking is one of the most common questions we get from Sydney homeowners. Both materials have their strengths, so it really depends on your priorities.
Timber Decking Benefits:
- Natural, warm, and timeless appearance
- Sustainable and eco-friendly renewable resource
- Wide range of colours and customisation options
- Strong and durable when properly maintained
Timber Decking Considerations:
- Requires regular maintenance to preserve its look
- Can be affected by harsh weather without proper care
- May show signs of wear faster than composite decking
Composite Decking Benefits:
- Made from recycled materials, environmentally friendly
- Highly resistant to weathering, fading, and staining
- Consistent colour and texture throughout
- Low maintenance
Composite Decking Considerations:
- Generally higher initial cost compared to timber
- Limited design flexibility compared to natural timber
- Can become hot under direct sunlight
If you’re unsure which material best suits your lifestyle and budget, our team can guide you through the options.
To keep your timber deck looking beautiful and extend its life, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. We recommend the following routine:
- Sweep away leaves, dirt, and debris regularly.
- Apply a timber deck cleaning solution suitable for your timber type.
- Scrub the surface gently with a broom or soft brush.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Allow the deck to dry completely before use.
A good clean every six months (or more often if needed) will help prevent mould, mildew, and premature weathering, ensuring your deck stays vibrant and safe.
Deck installation timelines can vary depending on your project scope and council requirements:
- If your deck is under 1 metre in height and less than 25 square metres, no council approval is required. In this case, we typically complete design and installation within 6 weeks from your first consultation.
- For decks requiring council approval, the process generally takes longer. Expect installation to start approximately 6 to 8 weeks after your initial consultation.
We keep you informed throughout to ensure a smooth and timely build.
