    Decking Melbourne: Merbau, Timber and Composite

    Our deck builders in Melbourne construct decks in natural timber and composite materials. For natural timber, we work with merbau decking in Melbourne (the most popular hardwood choice), spotted gum and treated pine. For low-maintenance options, we install composite decking in Melbourne that is splinter-free, UV-stable and requires no oiling or staining.

    Our decking services include site assessment and design, council permit applications (where required), subframe construction and pier installation, board laying and finishing, stairs, ramps and access points, built-in seating and planter boxes (optional), and lighting integration.
    What is the timber deck cost in Melbourne? Timber decking ranges from $250 to $500 per square metre installed. Merbau decking in Melbourne costs $300 to $450 per square metre. Composite decking in Melbourne ranges from $350 to $700 per square metre including installation.

    Our pergola builders in Melbourne design and construct freestanding and attached pergolas in timber, steel and aluminium. Our verandah builders in Melbourne create covered outdoor spaces that extend your home’s living area.

    Options include flat roof, gable, skillion and opening louvre designs. We integrate lighting, ceiling fans, blinds and heating for year-round use. Pergola costs in Melbourne start from $5,000 for a basic structure and increase based on size, materials and features.

    Most pergolas in Victoria require a building permit if they exceed 10 square metres or are attached to the dwelling. We handle permit applications for you.

    Our patio builders in Melbourne create outdoor entertaining areas with paved or tiled surfaces, covered structures and integrated features. An alfresco renovation in Melbourne transforms your backyard into a year-round entertainment zone with shelter, lighting, heating and outdoor cooking facilities.

    Our fence builders in Melbourne install Colorbond fencing in Melbourne (the most popular choice for Australian homes), timber fencing, pool fencing in Melbourne (compliant with Victorian pool safety regulations), picket fencing and boundary fencing. All fencing is installed to Australian Standards.

    Pool fencing in Melbourne must meet the Victorian Building Authority pool safety barrier requirements, including correct height, gap spacing and self-closing gate compliance. We build compliant pool fences for new pool installations and existing pools requiring upgrades.

    Driveway services include concrete driveway construction in Melbourne, exposed aggregate finishes, paving and driveway resurfacing in Melbourne. Concrete driveway costs in Melbourne range from $50 to $150 per square metre depending on the finish.
