Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need council approval to build a deck?

    Council approval depends on the size, height and structural design of your deck. In many areas, low-level decks that meet specific height limits may not require permits, while decks attached to the home, elevated structures or those impacting drainage often do. It’s important to check local regulations early in the planning phase because requirements can vary between councils. Proper approvals ensure your deck meets safety standards and avoids issues when selling your home in the future.

  • What is the best decking material to choose?

    The “best” material depends on your lifestyle, budget and maintenance preferences. Hardwood offers a natural, premium appearance and excellent durability when maintained regularly. Composite decking provides a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative that resists fading, rot and pests. Treated pine is an affordable option that suits many projects but requires more upkeep over time. Consider factors like sun exposure, foot traffic, surrounding elements and how much maintenance you’re comfortable with each year.

  • How long does a deck usually last?

    A well-built deck can last decades with proper care. Hardwood decks typically last 15–25 years or more when maintained regularly, while composite decks can last even longer due to their resistance to moisture, UV exposure and insects. Lifespan is influenced by material quality, installation, weather conditions, and how often the deck is cleaned, sealed or inspected. Choosing quality materials and following a maintenance plan can significantly extend the life of any deck.

Tailored Solutions for Every Home

A great deck starts with choosing the right materials, layout and structure for your property. Whether it’s hardwood, composite or treated timber, the material you select influences durability, maintenance levels and overall appearance. Custom deck building also involves careful planning of steps, handrails, privacy screens, seating areas and how the deck connects to the rest of your outdoor space.


These decisions ensure your deck not only looks beautiful but also remains safe, functional and enjoyable for years to come. Decking can also help smooth out uneven ground, create usable entertaining areas and add real value to your home.
