Overview
A timber deck gives an outdoor area a natural grain and colour. We help you choose the species, board width and finish, then assess the footings, frame and access before quoting. For a replacement, the existing structure is inspected rather than assumed to be reusable. Timber needs regular cleaning and care according to the product and exposure.
What’s included
- New hardwood decks - ground level, raised and elevated
- Spotted Gum, Merbau, Blackbutt and other durable species
- Treated pine or steel subframes to suit the site
- Hot-dip galvanised or stainless fixings near the coast
- Timber stairs, handrails and balustrades
- Fascia and edge finishing to the agreed scope
- Engineering and approvals where the deck needs them
Which hardwood suits your deck?
Spotted Gum is hard, durable and has a mix of light and dark tones. Merbau is a rich red-brown and is widely available, but it can bleed tannin onto paving when new. Blackbutt is a lighter, pale timber that suits modern homes. We talk through colour, board width and grade on site. The right choice depends on sun exposure, how the deck will be used and the look of your house.
The frame matters as much as the boards
Most deck failures start underneath. We check footings, bearer and joist sizes and spans, and ventilation under the deck. On coastal sites we use fixings that stand up to salt air. If the deck is raised or attached to the house, it may need engineering and building approval. We arrange this where required.
Planning a timber deck and requesting a quote
Send the approximate size, photos and any plans, including the height above ground and whether an old deck needs removing. We measure the site and itemise the boards, frame, edges and any stairs or balustrades. Compare composite decking installation, read our Merbau guide, or return to all Gold Coast decking services. For price factors, see the decking cost guide.

Frequently asked questions
Is timber or composite decking better on the Gold Coast?
Neither is best for every home. Hardwood usually costs less up front and can be refinished, but needs regular care. Composite costs more but needs very little upkeep. See the timber vs composite comparison.
How long does a hardwood deck last?
A well-built hardwood deck with a sound frame and regular maintenance can last many years. Lifespan depends on the species, the frame, drainage, sun exposure and how well it is maintained.
Do I need approval for a timber deck?
It depends on the height, size, roof and whether it attaches to the house. Decks more than 1 metre above ground usually need building approval in Queensland. We confirm this during the site visit.
Can you replace my old timber deck boards and keep the frame?
Sometimes. If the frame is sound we can re-board. If joists or bearers have rotted, the frame needs repair or replacement first. See deck replacement for how we assess this.
Do you build timber decks in Logan?
Yes. We build timber decks across the Gold Coast and in Logan.
