Frequently Asked Questions
What types of hardwood do you use for decking?
We specialise in premium Australian hardwoods, including Spotted Gum, Ironbark, Blackbutt, and Merbau. Each timber offers unique characteristics—Spotted Gum is highly durable with a warm, contemporary look; Ironbark is exceptionally strong and ideal for heavy-use areas; Blackbutt offers a light, clean aesthetic; and Merbau is known for its rich colour and natural resistance to decay. During our consultation, we’ll guide you through timber options based on your design goals, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
Do you offer custom-designed decking solutions?
All of our decking projects are fully customised. We design each deck to suit your home’s architecture, natural surroundings, and how you intend to use the space—whether it’s for entertaining, relaxing, or extending your living area. We can incorporate custom layouts, angles, steps, balustrades, and integrated features like lighting or planter boxes to create a seamless and functional extension of your home.
How long does a typical decking project take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. For most standard residential decks, the process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, including consultation, design finalisation, material sourcing, and construction. Larger or more intricate designs may take longer, but we always provide a detailed timeline and keep you updated throughout the process.
Is hardwood decking a good choice for Melbourne’s climate?
Yes, premium hardwoods are an excellent choice for Melbourne’s diverse weather conditions. The species we use are naturally durable and perform well in both hot summers and wet winters. Our construction techniques and timber treatments are designed to maximise weather resistance, minimise movement, and maintain long-term structural integrity.
Do you assist with planning permits or council approvals if required?
Absolutely. If your decking project requires permits or approval (e.g., due to height, proximity to boundaries, or overlays), we manage the entire compliance process for you. We’re well-versed in local council regulations across Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs and ensure all work is carried out in accordance with building codes.
What kind of maintenance will my hardwood deck need over time?
Hardwood decking is relatively low-maintenance but does require occasional cleaning and oiling to preserve its natural colour and prevent surface weathering. We’ll provide a tailored maintenance plan based on your chosen timber. With regular care—typically annual oiling and seasonal cleaning—your deck will continue to look stunning for many years.
Can you integrate features like lighting, seating, or multiple levels into the deck?
Yes, we offer a range of integrated design features to enhance the functionality and appeal of your outdoor space. This can include built-in bench seating, storage, lighting systems (including LED strip or step lighting), privacy screens, pergolas, and multi-tiered deck layouts that respond to sloping blocks or create distinct zones for entertaining and relaxing.
