From humble beginnings with a single ute and trailer, we’ve grown into a tight-knit family business known for transparent communication and meticulous workmanship.

Our mission is simple: create outdoor spaces that add value and joy to everyday Aussie life while caring for the planet that gives us timber, sunshine and footy ovals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most side and rear boundary fences under 2 m don’t require approval, but corner blocks and front fences often do. We’ll check local overlays and handle the paperwork where needed.

For standard residential fencing we can usually start within 7-10 business days of quote approval. Decks and pergolas may require 2-3 weeks for engineering and permitting.

A 10 % deposit secures materials, 40 % is due at project commencement, and the balance is payable after you sign-off on the final walk-through.

All workmanship is covered for 10 years. Materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty—up to 20 years on Colorbond steel.

Absolutely. We carry colour decks for Colorbond and paint/stain swatches for timber, ensuring seamless integration with your current look.

We provide a tailored care guide, but generally a light pressure wash every 6 months and re-sealing timber every 2-3 years keeps everything looking schmick.
