Forster Decks
A well-built deck can turn even the smallest backyard into your favourite place to relax or entertain. At Dowdy Constructions in Forster, we build custom decks and patios that add usable outdoor space and enhance the way you live at home. Whether you want something simple and low-maintenance or a larger outdoor area that connects seamlessly to your home, we’ll tailor the design to suit your lifestyle, layout and budget.

Built To Suit Your Lifestyle
Decks are more than just a place to put your barbecue—they’re an extension of your living space. That’s why we focus on getting the design, structure and materials just right. We’ll talk through where you get the most sun, how you want to use the space and how it can complement the rest of your home. Whether it’s a freestanding platform, a raised timber deck with steps, or something more integrated with a patio, we’ll help create a deck that feels natural and built to last.

You’ll also have the choice of finishes and extras—like balustrades, privacy screens, or built-in seating—so the end result is both functional and visually appealing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for building a deck?
The best material depends on your budget, maintenance preferences and the look you want. Hardwood timber offers a natural finish and durability but requires regular maintenance. Composite decking is low-maintenance, resistant to weather and pests, and comes in a wide range of colours and textures. Softwood decking is generally more affordable but may not last as long in coastal conditions. Consider sun exposure, foot traffic and aesthetics when choosing your material.
Do I need to prepare the site before a deck can be built?
Some preparation may be required, depending on the slope, drainage and condition of your yard. A builder can assess the site to determine whether soil needs levelling, vegetation must be cleared or supports are needed to handle load-bearing requirements. Good preparation ensures your deck is structurally sound and avoids issues with pooling water or uneven settling over time.
Can a deck be added to any type of home?
Most homes can accommodate a deck, though the design and construction will vary. Sloped blocks may require elevated decking or stairs, while slab-on-ground homes may suit low-profile platforms. It’s also important to consider access points, door thresholds and any building setbacks. With the right planning and structural support, decks can be customised for almost any property layout.
