Hardwood Decking for Local Living
At Marshall Notaras Hardwoods, we supply premium Australian hardwood decking to homeowners, builders and contractors throughout Byron Bay. With over 70 years in the timber industry, we understand what local conditions demand, from salt-laden coastal air to subtropical humidity.
Our decking is milled from sustainably sourced species like Spotted Gum and Blackbutt, both prized for durability and moisture resistance. Whether you're building a new alfresco area, replacing tired boards or fitting out a holiday rental, we have decking suited to the job.
We supply trade professionals on new builds as well as homeowners tackling their own renovations, and we're happy to talk through species, profiles and finishes. Every board meets Australian Standards, so you can trust the strength and longevity of what goes down. Byron Bay's mix of heritage beach houses and contemporary architecture means needs vary, and we supply widths, lengths and finishes to suit both.
Local builders choose us for decades of hardwood expertise paired with real coastal know-how. Call our team on

Decking That Handles Coastal Conditions
Choosing the right decking for a Byron Bay property means thinking beyond looks to how the timber copes with sun, moisture and salt air over time. We supply dense, durable hardwood species that resist warping, cupping and premature wear in exposed outdoor settings. Our decking comes in a range of custom-milled sizes and finishes, from traditional board widths to wider, more contemporary profiles.
Beyond supplying quality timber, we guide builders and homeowners through species and profile selection to suit their site and design intentions. A strong network of stockists and agents means we deliver hardwood decking to Byron Bay reliably, regardless of project scale.
Many customers are creating outdoor living areas, patios and walkways where timber needs to perform for decades, and we talk through colour, grain and durability for each species. Our long-standing builder relationships mean we understand the practical side of decking installation, from substructure to seasonal movement. We also supply larger developments, including holiday accommodation, where consistency across volume matters.
If you're planning a decking project, our team can help find the right timber for your site and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best type of timber for outdoor decking?
Hardwood species such as Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Merbau and Ironbark are generally considered the best options for outdoor decking due to their natural density, strength and resistance to rot and insect damage. Spotted Gum is particularly popular in coastal areas because of its attractive grain and strong performance in humid, salt-exposed environments.
Blackbutt is another widely used option, valued for its pale, even colouring and reliable structural performance. The right choice ultimately depends on the look you're after, your budget and the specific conditions of your site, including sun exposure and proximity to the coast.
How long does timber decking last?
A well-installed and properly maintained hardwood deck can last anywhere from 25 to 40 years, and in some cases even longer, depending on the timber species and local climate conditions. Decking exposed to harsh coastal weather, including salt air and high UV levels, may require more frequent maintenance to maximise its lifespan.
Regular oiling or sealing helps protect the timber from moisture penetration and sun damage, which are the main factors that shorten a deck's life. Proper substructure design and adequate airflow underneath the boards also play a significant role in how long decking will last.
Do you need to oil or seal timber decking?
Yes, oiling or sealing timber decking is highly recommended to protect it from moisture, UV exposure and general wear. Most hardwood decking benefits from an initial coating once installed, followed by re-oiling every 6 to 12 months, depending on the level of sun and weather exposure. Skipping this maintenance step can lead to the timber greying, drying out or becoming more prone to splitting and cupping over time.
Using a quality decking oil formulated for Australian conditions will generally give the best long-term protection and keep the timber looking its best.
How much does timber decking cost per square metre?
The cost of timber decking varies significantly depending on the species chosen, board profile and the complexity of the installation, but hardwood decking materials typically range from around $60 to $150 per square metre before installation costs. Premium species like Spotted Gum tend to sit at the higher end of this range due to their durability and appearance, while more budget-friendly hardwoods may cost less.
Installation costs are separate and depend on factors such as substructure work, site access and the size of the project. It's worth getting a detailed quote that separates material and labour costs so you can compare options accurately.
