Decking That Works for Perth Living
Perth's outdoor lifestyle demands outdoor spaces you can actually use. A well-built deck transforms dead zones beside the pool, awkward side areas, and tired back yards into functional living space you will use every week. We install composite and hardwood decking — designed for our climate, built to handle bare feet all year round.
Extend Your Home Without the Build Cost
Adding a deck is one of the most cost-effective ways to gain usable outdoor space. Unlike a full extension or renovation, a deck does not require structural changes to your home, rarely needs council approval (under 500mm height in most Perth councils), and can be completed in days rather than months.
In Perth, where we spend eight to nine months of the year outdoors, a deck is not a luxury — it is a practical investment that adds genuine living space and real property value. Our clients typically use their new decks for weekend barbecues, morning coffees, kids play areas, and year-round entertaining. Many pair their deck with one of our insulated patio roofs for a fully usable outdoor room.
Composite vs Hardwood — Which Is Right for You?
Both options have their strengths. The right choice depends on your priorities — maintenance commitment, aesthetic preference, budget, and where the deck will be installed. Here is an honest breakdown.
Composite Decking
Made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and polymer, composite decking boards look like timber but require almost zero maintenance. No oiling, no sanding, no staining — ever. They will not splinter, warp, or get eaten by termites. Modern composites come in realistic timber-grain finishes that hold up under Perth's UV without fading.
Best for: Pool surrounds (slip-resistant surface), low-maintenance entertaining areas, and anyone who does not want to spend weekends maintaining their deck.

Hardwood Decking
Nothing matches the natural warmth and character of real timber. We work with Merbau, Spotted Gum, and Jarrah — all dense hardwoods with natural resistance to rot and insects. Hardwood decking develops a beautiful patina over time or can be maintained to keep its original colour with annual oiling.
Best for: Feature decks, front entries, and homeowners who appreciate natural materials and do not mind the annual maintenance ritual.
How Perth Homeowners Use Their Decks
Pool Surrounds
The most popular decking application in Perth. Composite decking is ideal around pools — it is slip-resistant when wet, does not splinter under bare feet, stays cooler than pavers, and handles constant moisture and chlorine splash without degrading. We build pool decks with hidden fixings for a clean, screw-free surface that is safe for the whole family.
Outdoor Entertaining
A dedicated deck area for your barbecue, outdoor dining table, and lounge setting creates a defined entertaining zone. Paired with one of our insulated patios overhead, you get a true outdoor room — shaded, sheltered, and usable even when Perth delivers one of its surprise summer rain showers.
Front Entries & Porches
A timber or composite deck at your front entry lifts your home's street appeal immediately. We build raised front decks with integrated steps, handrails where required, and screening for privacy. It is one of the highest-impact changes you can make to a home's first impression.
Side Yard Access
That narrow strip down the side of your house does not have to be wasted space. A raised deck pathway connects your front and back yards, covers ugly services and pipes, and creates a clean surface that stays mud-free during Perth's wet winter months.
Our Decking Process
Design Consultation
We visit your home, discuss how you want to use the space, and recommend the right material, layout, and size. We will talk through composite vs hardwood honestly — what suits your situation, not what has the biggest margin.
Detailed Quote
You receive a fixed-price quote covering materials, subframe, installation, and any finishing details. Everything itemised, nothing hidden. We include 3D visuals for larger or more complex deck designs.
Build & Install
Our team builds the subframe from treated pine or steel (depending on height and span), installs the decking boards with hidden clip systems, and fits any stairs, balustrades, or edge trims. Most decks are finished in two to four days.
Handover
We walk you through care instructions for your chosen material, clean the site, and make sure every board is perfect. For hardwood decks, we apply the first coat of oil as part of the install.
