Featured Frequently Asked Questions
What types of decking materials do you recommend?
We offer both timber and composite decking options. Hardwoods like Merbau and Spotted Gum provide natural beauty and durability, while modern composites offer low maintenance and consistent appearance. During consultation, we discuss the pros and cons of each material, helping you choose the best option for your needs.
How long does deck construction take?
Most standard deck projects take 2-4 weeks to complete, depending on size, design complexity, and site conditions. Larger projects or those including additional features like pergolas might require 4-6 weeks. Weather conditions can affect timelines, but we plan carefully to minimise delays.
Do I need council approval for my deck?
Many deck projects require council approval, particularly those above certain heights or sizes. We handle all permit applications, ensuring your deck meets local building codes and regulations. Our team has extensive experience with Melbourne Council requirements and can advise on design modifications if needed.
What maintenance will my deck need?
Maintenance requirements vary based on your chosen materials. Timber decks typically need annual cleaning and resealing every 2-3 years, while composite decking requires only regular cleaning. We provide detailed maintenance instructions and can recommend trusted products and services for ongoing care.
Can you integrate additional features into my deck design?
Yes, we can incorporate various features, including built-in seating, planter boxes, privacy screens, lighting, and stairs. We also design decks to accommodate outdoor kitchens, spa pools, or fire pits. Our team helps plan these additions during the design phase to ensure proper support and integration.
How do you ensure proper drainage and ventilation?
We design decks with adequate spacing between boards and proper fall for water runoff. Our construction methods include appropriate ground clearance and cross-ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. We also install appropriate moisture barriers and use corrosion-resistant fixings to ensure longevity.
