Research is one of Melbourne's most sought-after semi-rural suburbs — larger blocks, mature native gardens, and properties that genuinely benefit from outdoor living infrastructure. Homeowners in Research typically want decks and pergolas that feel connected to the natural environment rather than imposing on it. Deck It Out has worked throughout Research and the surrounding Nillumbik area, and we approach every project with an understanding of what works in this particular landscape.

Research properties often sit on land that has never been fully cleared, meaning deck design has to work around established trees and uneven terrain. We regularly design decks that wrap around or incorporate existing trees, creating outdoor spaces that feel genuinely integrated with the site.
Timber species like spotted gum and merbau are particularly popular in Research for the way they complement the native palette of the surrounding bush.
