Australian & International Harwood Specialists to the South and East Coast of Australia.
Who We Are
Durable Hardwoods is an Australian family-owned business supplying specification hardwoods for government, architecture, landscaping, construction, and infrastructure projects across Australia.
We are timber consultants first, suppliers second—with over 100 years of combined expertise helping professionals select sustainable hardwoods that meet design, performance, and compliance requirements. Through our extensive mill network, we source Australian and international species in the grades and volumes your project demands.
Established in 1998, we've built our reputation serving Department for Environment and Water, local councils, and civil contractors who need more than standard retail lines. We specialize in Australian-sourced Cypress Pine, premium Merbau, and both Australian and internationally sourced hardwoods—delivered with complete traceability and expert consultation.
As part of the Liemex Group, we combine personal service with the resources of a broader timber specialist network, giving you access to doors, flooring, Baltic Pine, and European timber expertise alongside our core hardwood focus.

We source and supply specification-grade Australian hardwoods with expert advice on durability, treatment and compliance, delivered to specification and on schedule.
