Decking & Deck Builders in Sydney

A timber or composite deck turns an awkward level change into the best seat in the yard. The difference between a deck that lasts 20 years and one that cups in three is the substructure and the board. Picture yours built, then hand the brief to a local deck builder.

What's involved

Decking in Sydney — FAQs

How much does a deck cost in Sydney?

Around $160-$280/m² built. A typical 25m² hardwood deck lands roughly $5,000-$8,000; composite and elevated decks cost more.

Hardwood or composite decking?

Spotted gum and merbau look superb and suit Sydney; composite is near zero-maintenance and won't splinter, good around pools and for renters. We render both.

Do decks need council approval in NSW?

Low decks (generally under 600mm and within size limits) are usually exempt; higher or larger decks may need approval, confirm with your builder.
