Our Decking Solutions
Our deck builds are customised to suit your property and preferences. Here’s what’s typically included:
- Deck Design Consultation
We visit your site to assess layout, access, light and orientation. This ensures the design will function well for daily use and blend naturally with the landscape. - Hardwood Timber Construction
We use high-grade hardwoods suited to the region’s conditions, offering structural strength and visual appeal. These decks are built to last with minimal upkeep. - Deck Repair and Refurbishment
For ageing or unsafe decks, we can rebuild frames or simply replace boards and finishes. This offers a refreshed look without starting from scratch. - Integrated Outdoor Planning
Include features like seating, stairs, handrails or connected walkways. We’ll help you plan a deck that functions as a true outdoor room.
Decking Suited to Your Site
Every deck starts with a site check and a conversation about how you’ll use the space. This helps determine things like height, entry points and the type of footings required. We consider structural needs, how the space will drain and how it will be accessed from indoors. Materials are chosen based on wear and weather exposure, and construction is planned to avoid unnecessary disruption. Our goal is a clean, efficient build that delivers a solid, finished product you can start enjoying straight away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there alternatives to timber for outdoor decking?
Yes—composite decking is a popular alternative made from recycled wood fibres and plastic. It’s resistant to moisture, fading and splintering, making it a low-maintenance option for coastal environments like Sawtell. However, it may lack the natural warmth and character of real timber, and the upfront cost can be higher.
What’s the average lifespan of a hardwood deck?
A well-maintained hardwood deck can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, depending on the timber species and how exposed the deck is to the elements. Regular cleaning, oiling and prompt repair of minor issues will extend its life significantly. Choosing a naturally durable hardwood like spotted gum or ironbark will also improve longevity in coastal conditions.
Can a deck be added to a home with limited space?
Yes, small-space decks are very achievable and can add major value. Creative layouts, multi-level platforms and built-in features like benches or planter boxes can help you maximise functionality. With the right design, even narrow or awkward outdoor areas can be turned into useful, inviting spaces.
How do I prevent my deck from becoming slippery in wet weather?
Slippery surfaces are often caused by a build-up of algae, moss or grime, especially in shaded or damp areas. Regular cleaning with a deck-safe wash and the use of anti-slip oils or grit additives can improve surface grip. You can also choose decking boards with a grooved finish, which provides more traction underfoot.
