Why Choose Us

Outdoor Work That Still Looks Good in Ten Years

Tyler has been building decks and outdoor areas across Melbourne's south east for over seven years, on flat estate blocks and on ground that falls away sharply.

That experience shows in what lasts. We pick the right timber and the right fixings for where it is going, so your deck still looks good long after the first summer.

  • Timber chosen for the exposure it will actually get
  • Galvanised and stainless fixings, so nothing bleeds rust down the boards
  • Airflow and drainage designed in, not left to chance
  • Comfortable on sloping blocks, which plenty of them around here are
  • Free quotes, with the timber and fixings named in the scope

    Tyler did an outstanding job recladding my mum's home in her over-55s village. From start to finish, his communication was excellent, and his pricing was fair and reasonable. He kept us informed every step of the way, discussed all aspects of the job clearly, and made sure we understood our options. He was always on time, worked efficiently, and the quality of his workmanship was exceptional. Tyler was reliable, professional, and took pride in his work.

Asked Questions

Decking & Outdoor Living Questions

  • Size and height drive most of it. A low deck on flat ground is the cheapest thing we build, while an elevated deck on a sloping block needs footings, a heavier frame underneath and a railing, which changes the number considerably. Timber choice matters too. We measure up on site and give you a free written quote.

  • For most homes around here we would point you at a hardwood such as merbau, spotted gum or blackbutt. They hold up outdoors and they look far better as they age than treated pine does. Composite is worth considering if you want to stop oiling it every couple of years. We will talk through the trade-offs rather than just quoting the cheapest.

  • It depends on height, size and how close it sits to a boundary. A low deck often does not need one, while an elevated deck or anything with a roof over it usually will. We check where your job sits before we quote so it does not become a problem later.

  • Yes, and plenty of the blocks through Harkaway, Lysterfield and Beaconsfield Upper are exactly that. A slope means proper footings, a heavier frame underneath and usually a set of stairs, all of which we do regularly.

  • A straightforward deck is usually a few days to a week on site once the footings have cured. Add a pergola or a roof over it and you are looking at a little longer. We give you a start date rather than a vague window, and we turn up on it.

  • Yes. We build decks and outdoor areas across the City of Casey, the City of Knox, Cardinia Shire and Greater Dandenong, from Cranbourne and Berwick through to Ferntree Gully, Lysterfield and Pakenham. See areas we serve for your suburb.

A Closer Look at Our Outdoor Work

Decks Built for Melbourne's Weather

Decking in this part of Victoria has to cope with a run of forty degree days and then months of damp. That combination is what moves timber, and it is why board spacing, ventilation under the frame and the fixing pattern matter more here than the brand of oil you finish with.

We build low decks, elevated decks and everything between, in hardwood or composite, on the flat blocks through Cranbourne and the steep ones up through Harkaway.

Pergolas, Verandahs and Getting the Shade Right

A pergola that looks good on paper often fails the only test that counts, which is whether it shades the table when you are actually sitting at it. Orientation, batten spacing and how far the structure projects all decide that, and they are worth thinking about before anything is built.

Verandahs do a slightly different job, running along the house to keep weather off the windows and doors while adding a covered edge you can use year round.

External Timber Stairs and Balustrades

Stairs down from a deck or a landing are the part of an outdoor build that has to be right, both because they carry people and because rise and going are set by code rather than by eye.

We build new external stairs and balustrades and replace old sets that have gone soft, which on houses of a certain age is more common than most owners realise until someone puts a foot through a tread.
