Our Client Reviews
If you’re looking for a deck that holds up to Brisbane’s weather without the high upkeep of timber, composite decking is a practical and reliable choice. At Evo Landscapes, we design and install composite decks for homes and commercial spaces throughout Brisbane, helping clients get more out of their outdoor areas.
Composite decking offers a smart alternative to traditional hardwood. With its timber-like appearance, weather resistance, and minimal maintenance requirements, it’s an option that suits everything from family homes to schools, cafes, and apartment complexes. Whether you’re replacing an ageing deck or building from scratch, our team provides a complete service that combines function with visual consistency.
What Makes Composite Decking a Smart Choice?
Brisbane’s climate is demanding. Between intense summer heat, UV exposure, and seasonal rain, timber decks can quickly fade, crack, or attract termites. Composite decking addresses many of these issues with its stable, moisture-resistant composition.
Made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastics, composite boards offer:
- Resistance to fading, staining, and scratching
- No need for oiling, sealing, or repainting
- Termite and rot resistance
- Slip-resistant surface options
- Consistent colouring and texture
- Suitability for bushfire-prone areas (depending on the product)
Where Composite Decking Works Best
We’ve installed composite decks in a range of Brisbane locations and settings. Its durability and clean finish make it suitable for both residential and commercial projects, especially in areas with high foot traffic or constant sun exposure.
Typical applications include:
- Backyard entertaining decks
- Pool surrounds
- Balconies and rooftop terraces
- School courtyards
- Accessible pathways and ramps
- Outdoor café seating zones
- Retirement village common areas
Design Options That Fit Your Property
Composite decking has come a long way in terms of appearance. Today’s boards are available in a variety of shades and finishes, including realistic timber grains and colour-stable tones that don’t require repainting. Whether you’re after a soft, coastal tone or a darker, architectural finish, there are plenty of options to suit the rest of your landscaping and home design.
Available board profiles include:
- Wide or narrow planks
- Grooved or solid edges
- Capped or uncapped finishes
- Smooth or textured surfaces
Materials That Withstand Brisbane Conditions
All composite decking products we use are sourced from trusted Australian suppliers and tested for performance in Queensland’s climate. Most are made using a mix of recycled materials, making them a more sustainable alternative to hardwoods, which can be resource-intensive to source and treat.
We focus on products that are:
- UV-resistant
- Compliant with Australian fire and building codes
- Long-lasting with manufacturer warranties
- Resistant to mould and mildew
- Low-maintenance throughout the year
Whether your deck will be exposed to full sun or tucked under a pergola, we select materials suited to the conditions to prevent early wear and fading.
Composite Decking vs Timber: What You Need to Know
Many clients ask whether composite or timber is better for their project. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but composite offers several advantages for those wanting a set-and-forget solution.
Feature | Composite Decking | Timber Decking |
Maintenance | Low | High – requires regular sealing |
Lifespan | 15–25 years | 10–15 years (varies) |
Cost | Higher upfront | Lower upfront, higher upkeep |
Appearance | Consistent | Natural variation |
Pest resistance | High | Varies by species |
Sustainability | Often made with recycled content | Depends on sourcing |
Timber may appeal for its texture and scent, but if your focus is on durability and ease of care, composite offers long-term value with fewer obligations.
Custom Features and Add-ons
A composite deck doesn’t need to be plain or predictable. We often incorporate custom elements to make the space more usable and visually connected to the rest of the property.
Add-ons may include:
- Built-in bench seating or storage
- Concealed LED lighting
- Glass or aluminium balustrades
- Custom planter boxes
- Step-down transitions for sloped blocks
- Matching gates or screens using composite battens
These finishing touches help tie the space into the broader landscape and improve usability without increasing maintenance.

Why Choose Composite for Commercial Sites?
For schools, restaurants, aged care facilities, or multi-unit residential developments, composite decking offers practical benefits over timber. It’s faster to clean, needs no chemical treatments, and retains a tidy appearance over the long term.
Benefits for commercial clients include:
- Uniform colour and finish for branding or compliance
- Less downtime for repairs or repainting
- Safer surfaces for users with limited mobility
- Reduced liability risks linked to splinters or surface decay
- Long warranties that support budget planning
We regularly work with builders, facility managers, and architects to deliver decking that meets the practical and visual goals of commercial sites across Brisbane.

Composite Decking FAQs
How long does composite decking last in Brisbane?
Most products last 15–25 years, depending on exposure and use. They generally outlast timber and require less maintenance.
Can composite decking go around a pool?
Yes. Many composite boards are rated for wet areas and provide slip resistance, making them suitable for pool surrounds.
Is composite decking hotter than timber?
Some boards may retain more heat in direct sunlight, but choosing lighter colours and shaded layouts can reduce surface temperature.
