When it comes to decking, local hardwoods are a popular choice — they’re tough, beautiful, and sustainable.
Popular species include:
🪵 Spotted Gum – One of the hardest and most stable timbers available. Naturally resists termites and has beautiful colour variation from pale brown to deep red-brown.
🪵 Blackbutt – Light golden tones that suit coastal homes. It’s durable, fire-resistant, and holds oil beautifully.
🪵 Ironbark – True to its name, it’s incredibly dense and long-lasting. Deep rich tones and perfect for high-traffic areas.
🪵 Tallowwood – Smooth texture and warm honey colour. Naturally oily timber that repels moisture and resists decay.
