Our decking service in Hope Island

Courtyard decks and small-footprint patios in Hope Island

Townhouse and duplex courtyards are usually small, fenced and boundary-tight, so the deck has to work around a clothesline, an air-conditioning unit and a fence line that may not be yours. We set the frame low, keep clearances off the boundary and build in sections that can be carried through the house or a side gate. Marina and canal-front homes, golf-course villas and gated-estate residences.

Timber decking

Spotted gum, blackbutt and merbau remain the most requested hardwoods for their colour and durability. We seal cut ends, use appropriate corrosion-resistant fixings, and set consistent board gaps so the deck weathers evenly instead of cupping.

Composite decking

Capped composite gives you the timber look without the annual oiling cycle - a strong choice around pools and on high-UV aspects. We install with hidden fixings, correct expansion gaps for thermal movement and clean fascia detailing at the edges.

Structure, stairs and compliance

Footings, bearers, joists, ledger fixing and balustrade all built to Queensland structural requirements. Decks above the specified height need engineering and certification, which we arrange as part of the job rather than leaving to you.

What decking costs in Hope Island (2026)

Timber decks typically run $350-$550 per square metre installed; capped composite decking generally sits $450-$700 per square metre. Elevated decks with stairs, balustrade and engineered footings sit at the upper end. Prices move with access, the condition of what is already there, how much structural work is involved and the level of finish you choose. We confirm all of that at the inspection and price your Hope Island job rather than quoting from a range.

How long decking takes

A standard deck takes 1-2 weeks on site. Elevated decks, roofed patios or pergolas requiring approval add 2-6 weeks for engineering and certification.
