A deck is only as good as what’s holding it up


Half the backyards in inner Brisbane are on a slope, which means a deck usually comes with a retaining wall and some real engineering, not just a platform on a few posts. Done properly it holds the ground, drains the water, and lasts decades.


We build decks that connect to the house and the level changes, retaining walls that do their job, and outdoor areas you'll actually use. It's often the first job we do for someone, and the reason they call us back for the bigger one.

  • Decks tied to the house and to the slope, not just bolted on

  • Engineered retaining walls that actually hold the ground back

  • Built for Brisbane, with weather, water and termites accounted for

  • QBCC licensed, with council approvals handled where needed
