Hardwood, Merbau and composite decking, pergolas, and bespoke outdoor timber structures — built to last across every Melbourne suburb, from Brighton and Toorak to Wyndham Vale and Craigieburn.
About This Service
From a simple backyard deck to a full multi-level entertainment area — we build beautiful, durable outdoor timber structures across all Melbourne suburbs.
At K&M Gardening & Landscaping, we design and build premium quality decks for residential and commercial clients right across Melbourne — from the high-value south-eastern suburbs of Brighton, Toorak, and Glen Waverley, through to the growing western corridors of Wyndham Vale, Point Cook, and Tarneit, and north to Craigieburn and beyond.
Whether you want the natural warmth of Merbau hardwood, the low-maintenance appeal of composite decking, or a full outdoor entertainment area with pergola, steps, and lighting — our experienced team delivers stunning, long-lasting results every time.
No subcontracting. We build every deck ourselves — the same experienced crew from your first quote through to the final sand and oil. One team, one standard, every time.
We handle the full scope in-house — frame, bearers, joists, decking boards, steps, balustrade, pergola, and final finish — all to Australian Standards and local council requirements. Residential homes, commercial properties, childcare centres, strata complexes, and aged care facilities across all of Melbourne.
What We Offer
The complete range of outdoor timber solutions for Melbourne homes and businesses — from a simple deck to a full outdoor living transformation.
Melbourne's most loved hardwood deck. Merbau is naturally resistant to insects and rot, extremely durable, and delivers a rich, warm natural timber look. Sanded and oiled to a beautiful finish on completion.
The low-maintenance alternative to timber. Composite decking looks great, never needs oiling, and is resistant to fading, warping, and splintering — ideal for pool surrounds, rental properties, and busy families.
Extend your living space with a custom pergola or shade structure. We build flat roof, pitched, and gabled pergolas in timber and steel, designed to complement your home's architecture and garden.
Safe, well-built timber steps and landings that integrate seamlessly with your deck design. We build single and multi-step configurations in hardwood or treated pine to match your decking material.
Compliant, beautifully finished balustrades in timber, aluminium, or glass — designed to meet NCC requirements and enhance the look of your deck at the same time.
Breathing new life into an existing deck through sanding, re-oiling, board replacement, and structural repairs. We assess your deck honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about our service across Melbourne.
Deck pricing in Melbourne depends on size, material, height, and any additional features like steps or balustrade. As a guide, Merbau hardwood decks typically range from $200–$350 per m², while composite decking ranges from $300–$500 per m². We provide free, detailed written quotes after a site visit — call 0485 512 240 to arrange yours.
Merbau is a natural hardwood that offers a warm, authentic timber look and is extremely durable, but requires oiling every 1–2 years to maintain its appearance. Composite decking is an engineered timber-plastic blend that requires virtually no maintenance, is resistant to fading and warping, but costs more upfront. Both are excellent options — the right choice depends on your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic preferences.
In Victoria, most decks over 800mm above natural ground level require a building permit. Some decks may also require planning permits depending on your council and property location. We assist with permit applications and can advise you on what's required for your specific project and council area.
