CarpentryWe take care of all aspects of Carpentry work, inside and out. For instance, we can install reclaimed flooring and new skirting boards, build you the pantry of your dreams or replace posts on an existing verandah. Decking for verandas, porticos, or Alfresco areas, fencing, gates and screens, steps and sleeper retaining walls, upright sleeper installations for sculptural effect or to define an area, planter boxes, vege boxes, letter boxes, and pergolas can all add aesthetic functionality to your garden. We recently (May 2026) built a rustic garden shed using reclaimed timbers. We also specialise in composite materials, which are great for decks, screens, and bin enclosures. There is now a beautiful range of colours available, and while there is a few install tricks to make this decking looks its best, it really is a wonderful product. More and more clients are having us build garden seating. Rendered blockwork, timber, or different configurations using both. Pine sleeper Vegetable beds are a favourite. We find that 2.4m long and 1.2 wide, two sleepers high plus capper, are both practical and look great. This size will allow you to reach in from all sides, and the capper functions both as a seat and bench for your seedlings and tools to rest on. It minimises bending, and raised beds are always a good idea for vegetables. Filled with soil, the real back-breaking work is done, simply plant and look after your seedlings, and you'll be harvesting homegrown edibles in no time at all.

The landscape brief was I have most of the materials - can you build me a rustic shed facing my vegetable garden? The new materials included were concrete stumps, wall framing and floor joists. We supplied the reclaimed door and roofing timbers and all other materials including the iron, the tree-trunk posts, and the interior wall lining (fence palings) were collected, over time by the client. Some of the flooring was supplied by us and some by the client. The team had lots of fun on this one - working with a creative client. (Click on the images to enlarge).
