Deck builders in North Shore— see your deck before you build it
Leafy blocks, sloping sites and established gums define North Shore backyards — decks here often step down a hillside or wrap around mature trees. Elevated builds over 1m are common and usually need engineering, which is why fixed-price quotes matter. Spotted gum and blackbutt are popular for their bushfire ratings in leafier pockets.

Spotted Gum — the most popular choice in North Shore renders — runs $190–$260/m² installed (Sydney metro, including subframe). A typical 20m² deck lands between $3,800 and $5,200. Restoring an existing structurally sound deck costs roughly a third of a rebuild.

Do I need bushfire-rated decking on the North Shore?
In BAL-rated pockets near bushland, councils may require BAL-29 compliant species such as spotted gum, blackbutt or silvertop ash — all supported in the visualizer.
