Custom Decks for Every Home & Lifestyle
No two homes are the same, so we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor each deck to the layout of your property, the direction of the sun, your preferred materials, and how you actually want to use the space. That could mean creating shade for summer afternoons, connecting indoor living areas to the outdoors, or building in features like stairs, screens, or planter boxes. We’re across the details that make a big difference, and we’ll help you weigh up all the options to get it just right.
Our materials include hardwoods, composite decking, treated pine, and more, depending on your needs for maintenance, durability, and look. We’ll also talk through things like drainage, council regulations, and finishes, so nothing is left to chance. If you want a deck that adds value to your home and makes life easier to enjoy, we’re the team for the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for decking in coastal areas like Lake Macquarie?
For coastal areas, materials that resist moisture and salt exposure are best. Composite decking is a popular choice due to its durability and low maintenance. It's made from a mix of wood fibres and plastic, so it doesn't rot, warp, or splinter as easily as natural timber. If you prefer the look of real wood, hardwoods like spotted gum or ironbark are great options as they are naturally resistant to decay and insects. Treated pine is more affordable but may require regular maintenance to last in coastal conditions.
Do I need council approval to build a deck in NSW?
In many cases, yes. The need for council approval in NSW depends on the size, height, and location of your deck. If the deck is under a certain height (typically under 1 metre) and does not cover more than 25 square metres, it may be considered exempt development. However, anything more substantial often requires a Development Application (DA) or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC). It's important to check with your local council or work with a licensed builder who can guide you through the process.
How long does it take to build a deck?
The time it takes to build a deck depends on the complexity of the project. A simple ground-level deck might be completed in a few days, while larger or raised decks with features like steps, balustrades, or custom finishes can take one to two weeks. Weather, material availability, and any required council approvals can also affect the timeline. It’s best to allow some flexibility, but once construction starts, an experienced team can typically work quickly and efficiently to complete the job with minimal disruption.
