His work is marked by meticulous attention to detail, punctuality, excellent communication, and reliability. He's definitely someone to think about for your upcoming projects. James crafted an amazing pergola, refurbished a sizable table and chairs set, and constructed a door under our deck. Big thanks to James for his fantastic work!"

"James Pearson has done two projects for us. First was a small prergola and second the revamp of an entire deck. James is highly recommended as he deals with the work himself and therefore is on site the whole time. His prices are very reasonable and the end product of a very high quality. He is very innovative and very precise in the work he does and will not complete work until the client is completely satisfied. As a small local business providing excellent products, I can highly recommend him."

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Choosing hardwood for your deck offers durability, natural beauty, and resistance to weather and pests. Hardwood decks have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance compared to softer woods, making them a cost-effective and stylish choice for enhancing your outdoor space.


    • Supply and demand: The supply of hardwood is limited, and the demand is high, which drives up prices.
    • Import costs: Most hardwoods are imported, which adds shipping costs and import duties.
    • Harvesting difficulties: Hardwoods are often harvested from natural forests, which can be difficult and expensive.
    • Longer growth period: Hardwoods take longer to mature than pine, which means it takes longer for them to be ready for harvest.
    • Durable: Hardwoods are more durable and less prone to decay and insect damage.
    • Aesthetics: Hardwoods are often considered more visually appealing than pine.
    The lifespan of decks made from different types of wood in South Africa are:
    • Pine Deck: 5 – 10 years
    • Garapa Deck: 30+ years
    • Balau decks can perform well in any climate
    • Saligna Deck: Reasonable durability with maintenance, entry level hardwood deck
