Our Specialities

KwilaOne of NZs most popular choices for decking, Kwila is a dark coloured hardwood hailing from Papua New Guinea. This wood is very durable, expands/shrinks little in varying temperatures and has wonderful grainy features to add a more natural look to your deck.

GarapaGarapa is another hardwood like Kwila, but is much lighter in colour, making it more suitable for decks in sun-drenched locations as it does not get as hot to the touch. Native to Brazil, this timber is naturally scratch resistant and slip proof.

RadiataRadiata Pine is the most common timber in NZ, used for near endless purposes. Its no surprise then that it also makes for a cost effective decking option, is the most commonly used decking timber in the country and the most sustainable option. It has a very light brown/beige colour.

Other Options

CompositeComposite decks are a mixture of recycled wood and recycled plastic, and are a good option for those looking for a unique colour or texture or those not wanting to spend a lot of time maintaining their deck. The nature of the material means it doesn't rot or crack in the sun, is slip proof and doesn't fade in colour.

MacrocarpaFrom the Cypress family, this foreign tree has become widespread throughout NZ due to its versatility, colour and texture. This softwood is often used for planter boxes, sculptures and outside furniture, it is also sustainably sourced and requires minimal production processes.

RedwoodRedwood refers to a variety of species, such as Californian Redwood and Japanese Redwood, but all display a rich red hue and are naturally strong and long lasting - a well maintained redwood deck can last 30 years or more. The wood is naturally resistant to wood boring insects, but will fade to a silver grey in the sun if left untreated.

We know it can be hassle estimating the countless costs of a landscaping job

So we decided to make it a bit easier for you! Simply select the type of material you would like for your new deck and enter how many square metres the area is.
This handy little calculator will give you an estimate on the price of the material and labour.

Please note: This estimate is for the product and labour hours, this is to be used as a rough estimate only and does not function as a quote, we will require a visit to the property to be able to provide a quote.
Smaller jobs may require more than advertised as work can't be completed in bulk.
These prices may vary greatly depending on the work needed to prepare the ground before installing the deck.
Decking that requires stairs, multiple levels or more complex foundations will require more labour hours as well.
