Kellyville Decking Specialists

Why Kellyville Owners Call Us for Decking

Every decking quote we write for Kellyville starts on site, with photographs, levels and a walk of the full run. You cannot allow for metro-corridor growth that has put a lot of new pools behind existing fences from a satellite image.

Kellyville sits in the Hills District, and the ground reflects it. Working over reactive shale clay with pockets of imported fill from the release-era earthworks, on gently rolling ground with short sharp falls at the rear of newer lots, we design decking for what the site will do over the next twenty years rather than for how it looks on the day.

Half the skill in decking around Kellyville is knowing what not to disturb. Established gardens, old services and narrow verges and shared driveways that make delivery placement the first thing we plan all sit in the way of the obvious approach.

What We Specify and Why

Everything we install carries a manufacturer specification, and we install to it. Warranty claims fail on installation detail far more often than on product defect.

Where materials have to cope with retained rear boundaries left behind by the original developer benching, we upgrade the fixings rather than the visible finish. Fixings are almost always what fails first in this part of the Hills District.

• Joist spacing is set by the board thickness and the direction of lay, and closing it up is what stops boards feeling springy.
• Composite boards expand along their length more than timber, so end gaps are set differently.
• Merbau bleeds tannin for the first few rains, which is why a pre-coat before laying saves staining on light paving below.
• A deck is only as good as its substructure, and the substructure is what nobody sees when comparing quotes.
• A deck built low to the ground needs ventilation underneath or the substructure will hold moisture and fail early.

The Decking Formats We Build

How We Manage Access and Disruption

Neighbouring properties, verges and driveways get protected. Around Kellyville we allow for covenant and design guideline conditions that still apply in the newer estates, because a delivery in the wrong place causes more trouble than it saves.

Access shapes the price more than most people realise. Around Kellyville we plan around zero-lot and near-zero-lot boundaries where access down the side is barely a metre, which decides whether material comes in on a truck or on a barrow, and that difference runs through the whole program.

The Way We Run a Kellyville Project

Services are located before excavation, every time. Around Kellyville the older streets carry runs that are not where the plans say they are, and a strike is expensive for everyone.

We stage the work so the property stays usable. On a boundary job that means a section is never left open overnight, and on a hard landscape job it means access to the house is maintained.

• Merbau and spotted gum hardwood decks
• Hidden fixing and pre-oiled finishes
• Low level decks over existing slabs
• Galvanised and hardwood substructure
• Steps, landings and transitions
• Composite and capped composite boards

Council Controls Worth Checking First

Approvals are administered by The Hills Shire Council, and the controls that matter sit in its development control plan alongside the relevant state provisions. What applies to your street is what counts, not what a neighbour did five years ago.

Before anything is fabricated for a Kellyville property, we check what applies. The Hills Shire Council publishes its controls, and heritage, bushfire and flood mapping can each change the answer entirely.
