Decking Maintenance Tips — Keep Your Perth Deck Looking Great | Landscaping Perth

Protect Your Investment A well-maintained timber deck adds thousands in value to your Perth home. Neglect it, and you will be replacing boards within 10 years. Here is your complete maintenance schedule.

Monthly Tasks Sweep leaves and debris (prevents moisture trapping and staining). Move outdoor furniture occasionally to prevent uneven fading. Check for any loose screws or popped nails. Clear drainage gaps between boards.

Annual Maintenance Clean thoroughly with a deck cleaner in autumn (before winter rain). Sand any raised grain. Apply decking oil with UV protection — Perth’s intense sun is the number one enemy of untreated timber. Budget $5-$10/m2 for DIY oiling.

Professional Help Every 3-5 years, consider professional sanding and re-coating. Connect with Perth maintenance professionals for quotes. Also explore garden maintenance services and whether composite might suit you better.
