Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a standard backyard deck?
The time it takes to build a deck depends on size, design complexity and site conditions, but most standard backyard decks take between one to three weeks. Weather delays, material availability and council approvals (if needed) can affect timelines. Simple platforms go up faster than multi-level or custom-built decks. It’s best to factor in extra time for prep and finishing to avoid surprises.
What type of maintenance is required for timber decks?
Timber decks need regular upkeep to stay safe and looking good. This usually includes sweeping debris, washing the surface every few months, and applying oil or sealant every 6–12 months depending on the wood type. In harsh sun or damp areas, maintenance may be needed more often to prevent cracking or mould. Checking for loose nails or warping should also be part of your routine.
Do you need council approval to build a deck in NSW?
In NSW, council approval is often required for decks over a certain height or size, especially if they're elevated, close to boundaries, or attached to the house. If your deck is under 25 square metres, less than 1 metre off the ground, and meets other criteria, it might fall under exempt development. However, it’s essential to check with your local council or use the NSW Planning Portal to confirm what's needed. Skipping this step could lead to costly fines or forced removal.
Built To Suit Your Home
No two homes are the same, and your deck shouldn’t be either. Whether you're adding a raised platform for a sloping yard or connecting your indoor and outdoor areas, the right design can make all the difference.
We work with homeowners to plan decks that feel like a natural extension of the home — not an afterthought. This means considering things like how you’ll use the space, where the sun hits, and how to blend new structures with existing finishes. It also means smart choices around access, safety, drainage and finishes.
From quiet backyard retreats to family-sized entertaining areas, we aim for a clean, professional result that works year-round. For Newcastle homeowners, a great deck isn’t just about good looks — it’s about everyday use.
If you want a space that actually works for your home and your lifestyle, it starts with the right builder and the right plan.
