Our Decking Services Tailored to Your Space
Considered by many to be the best deck builders in Northern Melbourne, Contemporary Landscapes offers comprehensive decking services, including construction, maintenance, and repair.
Our most popular deck services include:
Custom Decking Design and Installation
Whether you’ve made a detailed sketch, have a basic idea, or are looking for inspiration, our talented team will help you design and craft decking that addresses your specific needs and complements your home and garden. We will discuss and agree on materials, dimensions, ventilation, drainage, and finishing touches.
Deck Repairs
If you have a current deck that’s beginning to fail or falter, we can bring back safety and structural integrity. Our repair services can include anything from replacing boards to addressing problematic fixings, and levelling up sunken areas to addressing broken rails or posts.
Decking Maintenance and Restoration
As the years pass, time takes its toll on decking. Contemporary Landscapes rejuvenates it and ensures longevity. Whether your deck needs oiling, staining, or pressure cleaning, our deck restoration and maintenance services make it look as good as new while delivering reassuring durability against use and the weather.
Deck Entry Platforms and Steps
A tailor-made platform or steps not only can provide a powerful visual statement, but they can also give safer and easier access points to your home and decking. Whether you have a tiered garden, sloping plot, or need structural support like retaining walls, our steps are bespoke to height needs and entry requirements.
Decking Balustrades and Handrails
For decks that are over one metre from the ground or for decking that requires it as a decorative feature, we craft attractive handrails and balustrading. Stylish and secure, they can add visual interest while also adding reassuring safety for you, your guests, and your children.
Deck Structure
Any deck is only as solid, durable, and reliable as its base. Contemporary Landscapes ensures a strong foundation with structural treated pine, galvanised and stainless steel hardware and nails, and steel framing where required, such as on high-spec builds and specialist jobs.
