Built for life outdoors, timber structures offer the perfect balance of comfort, style and function. Whether it’s a relaxed garden deck, a pergola for shade, or a screen that shapes a private retreat, timber creates outdoor spaces that feel like a natural extension of home. With its rich textures and warm tones, timber blends beautifully into garden settings, softens the edges of brick or concrete, and adds character while connecting seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

Decking That Defines and Connects

A well-planned deck can completely change how you use your backyard. It helps divide your outdoor area into zones for dining, lounging or entertaining while making everything feel more connected. Decks that step down from the home or wrap around existing garden features can help create a natural sense of flow and space. They’re also endlessly customisable. Whether it’s a low platform for relaxed seating, a sunken nook with a hammock, or a long deck leading to a barbecue area, timber makes it feel cohesive. Its natural grain and warm tones pair effortlessly with landscaping and softens the harder edges of brick or concrete.

Pergolas with Purpose and Style

Timber pergolas add depth and shape to backyards. Whether freestanding or attached, they help define outdoor rooms while still keeping them open and light. Perfect for garden paths, patios or poolside lounging, pergolas can frame views, support climbing plants and turn simple open spaces into destinations. They provide just enough shelter from sun and rain to make an outdoor area usable year-round. And when designed with lighting or integrated seating, they become both practical and a standout feature in their own right.

Timber Screens to Shape and Shelter

Privacy screens do more than just block out neighbours or hide the bins. Done well, they become subtle design features that enhance the space. Timber screens can break up large areas, define smaller zones or serve as backdrops for plants or outdoor lighting. The slatted construction allows airflow and filtered light, avoiding the heaviness of a solid wall. They also help create a sense of retreat. With the right timber and layout, even a small yard can feel calm, well-organised and more private.

A Natural Choice That Lasts

Beyond its beauty and versatility, timber is also a tough and sustainable material. Australian hardwoods like blackbutt and spotted gum are naturally resistant to termites, moisture and fire, making them well suited to Tascott’s coastal climate. With proper care, timber decks and structures will stand up to the elements for decades, ageing gracefully and continuing to look good with minimal upkeep. Timber is also renewable, low in embodied energy and can be recycled or repurposed at the end of its life. Choosing local species helps reduce the environmental impact even further and ensures the finished structure blends in with the tones and textures of the surrounding landscape.

 Natural Design Meets Practical Living

Timber is enjoying a well-deserved revival across Australian architecture, and it’s easy to see why. It supports wellbeing by reconnecting people with natural elements and helps create spaces that are not only functional but uplifting to spend time in.
