Decks
Create an Outdoor Space You'll Actually Use
- A deck can become a natural extension of your home, creating additional space for entertaining, relaxing and spending time outdoors.
- We build new decks, replace ageing decks and extend existing outdoor areas to better suit the way you use your property.
- Depending on your home and preferences, we can work with a range of decking options, including traditional timber and composite products.
- When planning a deck, we consider more than just its size.
- Access from the house, sunlight, privacy, existing ground levels, drainage, stairs, balustrades and how the deck connects with the surrounding landscape can all influence the final result.
- If you already have an older deck, we can also assess whether it can be repaired or whether replacement may be the better long-term option.

Enjoy Your Outdoor Space for More of the Year
Enjoy Your Outdoor Space for More of the Year
Adding a pergola or covered outdoor area can make your deck, patio or backyard considerably more versatile.
From simple timber pergolas through to larger covered entertaining areas, we can create structures that complement your home while providing additional shade and shelter.
A pergola can also help define an outdoor area and create a stronger connection between your home and garden.

Fencing, Gates & Privacy
Practical Solutions That Complement Your Home
- Practical Solutions That Complement Your Home
- Good fencing provides much more than a boundary.
- It can improve privacy, security and street appeal while helping create safer outdoor areas for children and pets.
- We build and replace a range of residential fencing and gates, with solutions tailored to your property and the look you're trying to achieve.
- Our work can include:
- Timber fencing
- Boundary fencing
- Privacy fencing
- Feature fencing
- Gates
- Privacy screens
- Screening around outdoor entertaining areas
- Replacement of damaged or ageing fences
Retaining Walls
Make Sloping Sections More Usable
- Retaining walls can help manage changes in ground level, create usable areas on sloping properties and provide structure to gardens and outdoor spaces.
- Depending on the site and purpose, retaining walls can be incorporated alongside decks, fences, stairs and other outdoor structures to create a more functional overall space.
- Projects may include:
- Timber retaining walls
- Replacement retaining walls
- Garden retaining
- Retaining around outdoor living areas
- Retaining integrated with fencing
- Retaining alongside stairs and accessways
Retaining walls need to be designed appropriately for the site, loads and ground conditions.
Where engineering, building consent or other approvals are required, we can help coordinate the appropriate professionals and manage the process through to construction.

Complete Outdoor Transformations
Sometimes one new deck isn't enough.
- Your outdoor space may need several elements working together—a deck connecting the house to the backyard, a pergola above it, privacy screening along one side, stairs to the lawn and retaining to make the section more usable.
- Rather than organising each component separately, we can look at the outdoor area as a whole and help create a coordinated solution.
- This can be particularly useful when renovating an older property where the existing outdoor spaces have been added to over time and no longer work well together.
- Our goal is to create an outdoor area that feels like a natural extension of your home.
Designing for Auckland Conditions
- Auckland's outdoor spaces are made to be enjoyed, but they also need to handle changing weather, moisture, sun and, in many areas, coastal conditions.
- When planning a deck, pergola, fence or complete outdoor area, we consider how the space will work with your property—from sun and shelter to drainage, privacy, access and existing landscaping.
- Choosing the right materials and construction methods from the start helps create an outdoor space that not only looks great but performs well and remains practical to maintain for years to come.
- Whether you're creating a sunny entertaining deck, adding shelter for year-round use or making better use of a challenging section, we'll help find a solution that suits your home and the way you want to use it.
Working With Your Budget
- Working With Your Budget Outdoor projects can range from a straightforward fence replacement to a complete backyard transformation, so there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. If you have a budget in mind, we can help prioritise the areas that will make the biggest difference. For example, you may decide to invest in a larger deck now while designing the space so a pergola or privacy screening can be added later. Good planning can allow you to improve your outdoor space in stages without compromising the overall result.
