Landscape any size backyard

There's nothing quite like a brand new deck to turn your backyard into an outdoor living room or a great party venue. It's an easy and affordable way to extend your living space that'll last for years and, with a little know-how, you can build yourself. There are a number of decking material options available. As well as the traditional timber decking of blackbutt, jarrah, merbau and treated pine, there are environmentally friendly alternatives. Composite decking can be made out of recycled plastic, which is long lasting, easy to install and maintain, and is rot and termite resistant.

Build it up with sleepers

You can shape any size backyard and give it a natural, earthy look with treated pine sleepers. Treated pine sleepers are resistant to decay, fungi, and termites, making them one of the most versatile, easy-to-use and hard-wearing landscaping materials on the market. They can be used to build a retaining wall, a raised vegie garden, flowerbed or as a border along your garden beds.

Retaining walls are a great way to create levels of interest in your backyard. You can use them to create a raised garden to surround your entertaining space or make a quiet corner to relax. Retaining walls are also a good way to flatten out areas of a sloping block and add extra space for the kids to play or for you to entertain. Depending on the look you want, retaining walls can be built from logs or treated pine sleepers. You can also use purpose-built materials for retaining walls that are interlocking, long lasting and come in a range of colours.

You can bring real definition to your backyard and create a great look with pavers. An easy project you can do yourself, pavers make a strong foundation for your outdoor entertaining area or you can run a pathway through your garden. You'll find Bunnings has a range of different paver colours and designs to suit any backyard, from concrete textured pavers, panelstone and sandstone pavers and concrete log-style stepping stones.
