New jarrah deck under a powder coated patio cover at a Perth home, lawn and native planting beyond

Decking, Pergolas & Outdoor Living

Jarrah and composite decks, patios, screens and outdoor kitchens that make the backyard usable in February.

Overview

Decking, Pergolas & Outdoor Living

Shade is what turns a nice looking backyard into one the family actually sits in. We build the structure, the deck and the screening as one element so the posts land where they should and the roof line sits with the house instead of bolted onto it.

What is included

  • Jarrah & composite decking Hidden fixings, level transitions from the house, and a finish schedule you can maintain.
  • Pergolas & patio structures Engineered, certified and lodged for building approval where required.
  • Privacy & feature screening Aluminium batten, timber or living green screens on the neighbour-facing side.
  • Outdoor kitchens & fire pits Benches, plumbing, gas and power roughed in with the trades coordinated by us.
  • Garden lighting Low-voltage path, wall-wash and uplighting on a timer, so the garden works after 7pm.

West-facing is the Perth problem worth solving

A large share of Perth blocks put the main living area on the western side, which is unusable from 3pm through summer. The fix is rarely a bigger roof — it is the right combination of an angled batten screen, deciduous planting on the hot corner, and a deck level that lets air move under it. We model the shade across the day before pricing anything, so you are buying afternoons outside rather than square metres of roof.

    Decking & Pergolas FAQs

    Do I need a building permit for a pergola?

    In most cases yes, once it is attached to the house or over a certain area. We handle engineering, drawings and the council lodgement as part of the quote.

    Jarrah or composite?

    Jarrah looks better and costs less upfront but wants an oil every 12–18 months. Composite costs more and never gets that patina, but it is genuinely maintenance-free and stays cooler underfoot in the sun.

    Can you match an existing patio roof?

    Usually. Send a photo through the quote form and we will tell you honestly whether it will blend or whether it is better to make the new structure deliberately different.
