The Benefits of Timber Decking Melbourne
Using our team of fully registered DB-U Master Builders for your decking project means you can enjoy:
1. Living Space Expansion
A professionally built deck creates a seamless transition from house to backyard, giving you more functional space to enjoy all year round. We can help you design a decking project that suits your home, lifestyle, and budget, whether you want a spacious merbau decking platform, a shady pergola, or a full outdoor entertainment area.
2. Room for Entertaining
A deck transforms your yard into an outdoor room ideal for dining, lounging, and celebrating. Our deck builders in Melbourne allow you to create an area that suits your lifestyle and complements your existing home. Whether it’s an intimate corner deck or a large open-air entertaining area with a pergola, the options are endless.
3. Added Property Value
A stunning, high-quality deck can increase the value and appeal of your property. It elevates the look of your home, especially when built by a registered builder with a reputation for quality craftsmanship. Many Melbourne buyers are drawn to homes with well-designed decking, fences, and other outdoor features that allow them to enjoy the outdoors in comfort.
4. Low-Maintenance Space
Today’s decking materials offer something for everyone. If you want a natural look, merbau or spotted gum are some of the best timber options available. If you're after something more low-maintenance, composite decking offers long-term durability and protection against Melbourne’s unpredictable weather. From the screws and handrails to the finish, we can tailor every detail to suit your needs.
5. Customisable Design
We design decks to match your home's style, layout, and colours. Whether your decking project involves building from scratch or tackling deck replacements, our professional deck-building team provides expert advice on all the options available. This includes materials, finishes, levels, and additions like handrails, fences, or even integrating a verandah or pergola.
Your Deck Builders Melbourne Questions Answered
How do I choose the right material for my deck?
Our deck builders offer a curated range of materials, including merbau, spotted gum, composite decking, and other timbers. We’ll consider your preferences, usage needs, maintenance expectations, and Melbourne’s weather to recommend the best material for your new deck.
How long does it take to build a deck?
Project timelines vary based on size, materials, and whether council approval is needed. Once we provide a quote, we’ll give you a clear estimate and timeline for your decking project.
Do I need a building permit for a new deck in Melbourne?
Yes, most decking projects in Melbourne require a building permit, particularly if your deck is elevated or attached to the house. Our registered builder team will take care of all the paperwork and communicate with the council to ensure your deck construction complies with local regulations.
What's the best timber to use for decking?
Merbau decking is one of the most popular choices due to its durability, weather resistance, and beautiful natural finish. We also offer spotted gum, other Australian hardwoods, and composite decking options. Our decking specialists can walk you through all the options to find the best timber to suit your space, style, and budget.
Is composite decking a good alternative to timber?
Absolutely. Composite decking is low-maintenance, long-lasting, and resistant to rot, pests, and warping, making it ideal for Melbourne’s changing weather conditions. If you want the look of timber without the upkeep, it’s a great option to consider.
Can I replace my old deck with a new one?
Yes, we offer full deck replacements for Melbourne homes. Whether your current deck is damaged, weathered, or simply outdated, we can design and install a new structure that better suits your outdoor living space and complements your existing home.
Can I build a deck right up to the fence?
Decks can sometimes be built close to or up to the boundary, but this depends on local council regulations. Most deck builders in Melbourne recommend leaving a minimum one-metre clearance unless you have specific approvals. Our team will help you understand what’s possible for your front yard or backyard, and work with surveyors or draftspeople if needed.
Can I add a pergola or verandah to my deck?
Yes, you can. We regularly design integrated pergolas, verandahs, and even carports as part of our deck-building services. These additions enhance your outdoor living experience by providing covered protection from the elements, great for Melbourne’s ‘four seasons in one day’ climate.
Will my deck need handrails?
If your decking is more than one metre off the ground, then handrails are usually required by code. We offer a range of handrail designs to suit your project, from modern stainless steel to traditional timber styles, ensuring both safety and visual appeal. We can also install glass balustrades, as we have trusted glass suppliers.
