Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between timber and composite decking?
Timber decking is made from natural wood, while composite decking combines wood fibres with plastic for a durable, low-maintenance product. Each option offers a unique look and feel for your outdoor space.
What are the benefits of composite decking over timber?
Composite decks require less upkeep—they won’t splinter, fade, or need regular staining like timber. They’re resistant to moisture, termites, and harsh Aussie weather, making them a hassle-free, long-lasting choice.
Are there any downsides to composite decking?
Composite decking can have a slightly higher upfront cost, but most clients find the investment well worth it for the time and money saved on maintenance over the years.
Why do some people still choose timber decks?
Timber provides a natural, classic look and can be more affordable initially. It’s a great choice if you love the warmth and variation of real wood and are happy to perform regular maintenance.
How do I maintain a composite deck?
Composite decks only need an occasional wash with soapy water or a gentle hose down. No sanding, oiling, or staining required—just simple, easy care!
How long will my new deck last?
A well-built composite deck can last 25 years or more, resisting weather and wear. Timber decks can also last many years with regular care, though they may require refinishing to maintain their appearance.
Can I customise the size and look of my deck?
Absolutely! We create custom decks tailored to your space, style, and budget—whether you want a modern grey composite finish or the timeless look of hardwood timber.
Which type of decking do you recommend for homes in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie?
While both timber and composite are popular, we usually recommend composite decking for our clients around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie due to its durability, low maintenance, and ability to handle the varied local climate with ease.
Is composite decking environmentally friendly?
Yes, most composite decking is made from recycled materials, including reclaimed wood fibres and recycled plastics. Choosing composite not only reduces the demand for new timber but also puts waste materials to good use—making it an eco-friendly option for your outdoor living space.
