Landscaping is an important part of building a home and choosing the right materials can be a difficult task.
For the One Tree Hill project, there were a number of considerations to take into account to help match the client’s vision. One is the zero tolerance and seamless blend between indoor and outdoor spaces across the different flooring materials. This is where the Millboard composite decking really added value to the project as there was no minimum clearance from the ground required. This allowed the boards to be installed close to the ground and flush with the indoor flooring, thus creating a level transition from inside to outside.
One of the greatest challenges was the large pine tree in the backyard that had to remain. Care and careful planning were required to work around this beautiful tree and tie it into the overall landscaping design. The clever use of lawn layout, decking and glass balustrades provided the perfect solution.
Having a low-maintenance backyard was also a key consideration and Millboard ticked the box in this regard. The Millboard composite decking is made from minerals and resins and is 100% wood-free. Handcrafted in the UK from impressions of real oak timbers, the boards have an incredibly realistic look that captures the natural beauty of wood but without the hassles of oiling, sealing or sanding.
Millboard is also resistant to rot, cupping, warping and mould/algae. These commercial-grade decking boards are extremely durable and feature impressive stain, scratch and fade resistance – perfect for any backyard requiring a low-maintenance decking solution.
Available in 11 stunning colours, Millboard’s best-selling ‘Smoked Oak’ decking boards installed by O’Shea and Sons Builders were the perfect choice for this project. This range of boards ensures the safety needed for a project like this, as it has the highest anti-slip rating available in Australia (P5). Additionally, the boards remain cooler underfoot, unlike cheaper plastic composites, and are virtually maintenance-free. Covered by a 25-year warranty, Millboard decking is an ideal choice for any outdoor space.
O’Shea & Sons Builders was crucial in seamlessly integrating Millboard composite decking into the One Tree Hill project’s landscaping. Their expertise in construction and attention to detail ensured that the decking was aesthetically pleasing and functionally aligned with the client’s vision. Collaborating closely with Timber Distributors, the supplier of Millboard decking, O’Shea & Sons Builders successfully implemented the project’s requirements, such as the need for a zero-tolerance transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. O’Shea & Sons Builders’ commitment to excellence and effective coordination with suppliers like Timber Distributors played a pivotal role in achieving the project’s success.
