Decks & Pergolas
With indoor-outdoor flow being a priority for Kiwi homes, decks are a hugely popular addition. Functionally, custom decks can be constructed as an entrance or stepping stone into your garden, and there is a choice of materials to build them from.
When it comes to decking size does matter, the bigger the better! Ensure your outdoor furniture can fit comfortably in the decking space you have decided on. Pergolas are an attractive addition to your space and can provide shelter and privacy – they can be a support for climbing flowers or vines, and they bring a bit of charm to your garden. Our team of decking and pergola builders specialises in providing quality decking and all types of landscape construction, so contact us to develop your own place to relax and entertain.
