“Marc and his team did an amazing job with the deck! Marc had some great ideas for the final design which made a big difference, he was also a great help in getting final plans approved through council. The team were very respectful while working and they did everything that was promised within the agreed time frame. Marc was always accessible throughout the whole project to answer all questions. My backyard has been truly transformed.”

“It's another 5 star review for Deck it Out. I can't say anything that hasn't been said before. Great ideas, very professional, impeccable finish. The team were polite, so respectful and a pleasure to have on site. They also kept everything tidy throughout the build and a thorough clean up at the end. I highly recommend Marc and his team. Thank you for doing my decking.”

“We couldn't be happier with the work on our deck. Marc, the owner, was great to deal with from the outset, and Josh, leading the team, along with Isaac and Cody, completing the build. From start to finish, they were incredibly communicative, transparent, and easy to work with. They kept everything on track, worked cleanly, and were just genuinely great people to have around each day. The end result is honestly beyond what we expected — such a beautiful job. Highly recommend.”

Common questions

Decks Melbourne — FAQs

How much does decking cost Melbourne?
As a guide, decks in Melbourne typically cost between $350 and $650 per square metre for a standard ground-level hardwood deck, and $650 to $1,200+ per square metre for elevated decks, pool decks, or composite builds that need engineering, balustrades, permits and stairs. Final pricing depends on timber choice (Merbau, Spotted Gum, composite), substructure, site access, height off the ground and any council approvals. Deck It Out provides a free on-site quote with a fixed, itemised written price — no surprises.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Melbourne?
In Victoria, you usually need a building permit for a deck if the deck is more than 800mm above natural ground level, or if it's attached to the house, has a roof (verandah / pergola), or is over 20m² regardless of height. Pool decks always need to comply with Victorian pool-fence regulations. Deck It Out handles the entire permit process for Melbourne homeowners — drafting, engineering, council lodgement and inspections — so you don't have to.
What is the best timber for decks in Melbourne?
The three most popular choices for decks in Melbourne are Merbau (dense, rich red-brown, excellent value), Spotted Gum (Australian Class 1 durability, beautiful grain variation) and composite decking such as Trex or Ekodeck (low maintenance, no oiling). Merbau and Spotted Gum handle Melbourne's freeze-thaw and UV cycles very well when installed on a properly ventilated hardwood or steel substructure. We'll walk you through the trade-offs during your free on-site consultation.
How long does it take to build a deck in Melbourne?
A typical single-level hardwood deck in Melbourne takes 1–2 weeks of on-site work once materials are on site. Larger builds — elevated decks, pool surrounds, decks with pergolas and roofing, or full backyard renovations — usually run 3–6 weeks on site. Permit and engineering timelines vary by council but generally add 3–8 weeks before construction starts. Deck It Out gives you a firm start date and end date in writing.
Which Melbourne suburbs do you build decks in?
Deck It Out builds decks across Melbourne's Eastern and Northern suburbs — including Balwyn, Box Hill, Camberwell, Doncaster, Donvale, Eltham, Greensborough, Heidelberg, Ivanhoe, Ringwood, Templestowe, Warrandyte and everywhere in between. If your suburb isn't listed, call 0421 548 360 — we almost certainly still cover it.
Are Deck It Out registered builders in Victoria?
Yes. Deck It Out is a fully registered Victorian Building Authority (VBA) builder, HIA member and multi-year Word of Mouth Service Award winner. Every deck we build in Melbourne comes with statutory builder's warranty, engineering sign-off where required, and full public liability insurance.
