Australian & International Harwood Specialists to the South and East Coast of Australia.
Who We Are
Durable Hardwoods is an Australian family-owned timber firm, specialising in the specification and supply of hardwoods for outdoor and high-exposure applications across government, architecture, landscaping, construction, and infrastructure projects.
We are timber consultants first, suppliers second. We don't sell you what's on the shelf — we work with you to understand your project, then source the right hardwood for it. Our specialisation is timber that performs in the harshest conditions — coastal and marine environments, inground applications, high traffic outdoor surfaces, and exposed structural applications. Our advice covers environmental exposure, structural requirements, durability, and long-term performance. The result is timber specified to last.
With over 100 years of combined expertise and an extensive network of Australian and international mills, we access species, grades, and volumes that standard suppliers simply can't offer — including single-mill sourcing to guarantee consistency across your entire project.
Established in 1998, we have built our reputation with clients who need more than a retail line — including the Department for Environment and Water, local councils, and civil contractors across NSW, Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia.
As part of the Liemex and European & Baltic Pine family, we combine the personal service of a specialist consultancy with the sourcing reach of a broader timber network.
What We Do
We specialise in hardwoods for outdoor and high-exposure applications by consulting first, then sourcing the right species, grade, and cut from our extensive mill network to meet your project's exact requirements.
