A deck, large or small, is always an asset to any home, providing space for homeowners to step outside and away from the confines of the indoors. Offering a multitude of uses, a deck can be adorned with planting, kept minimalist, or be a welcome extension of a crowded lounge, dining, or family room.

If you’re looking to enhance your home and outdoor space with a deck, get in touch with Zones Melbourne Inner East and book a free initial consultation with our local Landscaping Consultants.

What are popular deck options in Melbourne Inner East?

Melbourne’s climate means there’s many a day throughout the year when homeowners can enjoy time outside. Being able to relax with friends, sit around an outdoor table with family, or simply curl up with a good book means a practical deck design is essential.

One of the more popular deck options in Melbourne Inner East is extended wood decks that pay homage to the heritage vibe of many Melbourne homes. Although homeowners want to extend their outdoor space, they also want to preserve the integrity of the look and feel of their home. A subtle design using natural timbers can achieve this look.

Another popular deck option includes tiered seating, providing different spaces within the one deck for cooking, dining, and relaxing. Tiered seating decks usually require larger properties but smaller versions can also be achieved if space is limited.

Throughout Melbourne Inner East, homeowners have different requirements for decks, but at Zones, our Landscaping Consultants have worked on a variety of decking projects already, enabling them to share inspiration and advice to make the most of your outdoor space.

How much does a deck cost in Melbourne Inner East?

In Melbourne, the cost of building a deck can vary greatly depending on the size of your deck, the site you are building your deck on, the design you have chosen, and the materials you are using.

A previous homeowner who opted for a traditional wooden deck had a budget of $30,000*. This enabled him to achieve a spacious outdoor dining area, space for the spa pool, and better indoor outdoor floor for him and his family. Another homeowner spent a similar amount but had a more complex design, including stairs leading down to different areas of the deck.

Your local Landscaping Consultant can assess your site and, after talking through your ideas, give you a cost indication of what your budget may need to be for your deck project.

*Costs are rough estimates and are subject to change. For a fixed-quote accurate to your specific project, please consult your local Zones Landscaping Consultant. 

Do you need a permit to build a deck?

Whether or not you need a permit to build a deck at your Melbourne Inner East home will depend on your property and the design of deck you are wanting to achieve.
