Hardwood decking Mandurah
Hardwood brings a warmth and natural grain that’s hard to copy. Every board is a little different, and a freshly oiled timber deck has a rich colour that suits coastal and classic homes alike.
Timber does ask a bit more of you than composite. To keep it looking its best, it needs a clean and a fresh coat of oil every so often, especially in Mandurah’s sun and salt air. When it’s due, we can oil or stain it for you.
Would you rather skip the upkeep? Have a look at our composite decking, or read our guide to composite vs timber decking.
What you get with a timber deck
A hardwood deck gives you more than a place to sit. Here's what you can expect.
Natural warmth and grain
Real timber has a depth of colour and grain that makes your deck feel like part of the garden.
Built on a solid frame
We set every timber deck on a level, well supported subframe with the right gaps and airflow, so your boards sit flat and dry out after rain.
A colour you can refresh
Timber can be sanded back and re-oiled or stained down the track, so you can freshen the colour or change the look.
Easy to repair
A damaged board can be cut out and replaced, and we look after deck repairs as well.
Four hardwoods, four different looks
Each timber has its own colour, grain and feel. We'll show you how each one looks and wears so you choose the one you'll love living with.
Merbau Decking
A popular hardwood with a rich reddish brown colour that deepens over time. New merbau can bleed tannins at first, so we’ll tell you what to expect.
Jarrah Decking
A West Australian hardwood with a deep red colour and a classic look that suits older and coastal homes.
Spotted Gum Decking
A strong Australian hardwood with colours from pale grey-brown to deep brown and a wavy grain that gives your deck its own pattern.
Blackbutt Decking
A paler hardwood in golden to light brown tones, for a lighter, more modern look.
How we build your timber deck
1. Measure and choose
Andy measures up, checks your levels and talks you through the four hardwoods, then puts together a detailed quote.
2. Build the subframe
We set out a level treated pine frame of bearers and joists, with room for air to flow underneath.
3. Lay and oil the boards
Your hardwood boards are laid with the right gaps for drainage, fixed down and oiled to bring out the grain.
4. Enjoy it
We show you how to look after your deck, and when it needs a refresh we can sand and re-oil it for you.
Timber decking questions
There’s no single best. Merbau and jarrah give rich, darker reds and browns, spotted gum has a varied colour and strong grain, and blackbutt is paler and more modern. We’ll show you how each one looks and wears so you can choose.
It depends on how much sun and weather your deck gets. A good sign it’s due is when water stops beading on the surface and the colour starts to fade. We can oil or stain your deck for you.
Timber gives you natural warmth and grain but needs oiling to stay looking good. Composite needs very little upkeep. Our guide to composite vs timber decking goes through the differences.
New merbau contains natural tannins that can wash out in the first few rains and stain paving or walls nearby. It settles down over time, and we’ll talk you through how to manage it.
Often, yes. If the frame underneath is sound, we can sand it back, replace damaged boards and re-oil it. More on deck restoration.
It depends on the timber you choose, the size and height of your deck, how much subframe is needed and how easy your site is to get into. Andy will measure up and give you a detailed quote. Our article on what a deck costs in Mandurah explains what drives the price.
