Bexley’s Most Trusted Deck Builders
5 Star Decking are licensed decking installers and contractors serving Bexley and the wider St George district. We know this suburb — the wide family blocks off Forest Road and Gladstone Ave, the Federation-era homes with their deep verandah heritage, and the clever entertainer setups being built across Bexley North and Bardwell Valley.
Bexley blocks are typically larger and flatter than the inner city, which opens the door to serious entertainer decks, pool surrounds and multi-level alfresco builds. The trade-off is St George’s reactive clay soil — it moves with the seasons, so we engineer deeper, correctly spaced footings that stop your deck twisting and sinking a few years down the track.
Every deck is built by our own licensed carpenters — never subcontracted out. NSW Builder’s Licence 395250C. Fully insured. 2-year workmanship guarantee on every job. Over 4,000 projects completed across Sydney.
Why Bexley Homes Deserve Properly Engineered Decks
- Reactive clay soil across St George requires deeper concrete footings and correct bearer spacing
- Established trees mean shade — we recommend UV-stable composites (Millboard, Modelo, Modwood) for shaded lawns, or shade-tolerant hardwood layouts
- Botany Bay proximity brings light salt air — stainless steel fixings on every build
- Federation streetscapes call for deck designs that respect the home’s era and lines
- Council rules (Bayside Council & Georges River Council) — most ground-level decks under 25m² are exempt development; elevated decks may need CDC or DA, and we manage that with you

“They were the only quote that mentioned our clay soil and why the footings mattered. Eight months on, the deck hasn’t moved a millimetre and it’s where the family lives every weekend.”

Frequently Asked Questions — Bexley Decking
Do I need council approval for a deck in Bexley?
Bexley sits across Bayside Council and Georges River Council. Most ground-level decks under 25m² qualify as exempt development. Elevated decks, decks near boundaries or over easements may need a Complying Development Certificate or DA — we’ll flag exactly what applies during your free quote.
What timber is best for a Bexley deck?
For sunny yards, Spotted Gum and Blackbutt are our most popular Bexley choices — durable, naturally oily and great value. For shaded yards under established trees, composites like Millboard or Modwood avoid the mould and fading issues shade causes timber.
Does Bexley’s clay soil really matter for a deck?
Yes — it’s the number one cause of twisted, sinking decks in the St George area. Reactive clay swells and shrinks with moisture. We counter it with deeper concrete footings, correct post spacing and galvanised stirrups, so your deck stays dead flat.
How long does a deck build take in Bexley?
A typical Bexley entertainer deck takes 1–3 weeks on site depending on size and height, plus lead time for materials. We give you a firm schedule with your quote.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — NSW Builder’s Licence 395250C, fully insured, 2-year workmanship guarantee, and all work done by our own carpentry team, never subcontracted.
