Who we are

We build decks that belong on the Peninsula.

If you've been dreaming about a deck that looks out over the bay, wraps around your home, or finally makes that sloping backyard usable — you're in the right place.

At Mornington Peninsula Decking Co, we've been helping Peninsula homeowners build better outdoor spaces for years. Whether it's a spotted gum deck off the back of your house in Blairgowrie, an entertainer's paradise in Mount Eliza, or a composite deck that can handle the salt air near Portsea — Dean and the team know exactly what works down here.

The Peninsula isn't like building in the suburbs. Coastal conditions, sandy soils, sloped blocks, bushfire zones and strict council regulations. We deal with this every single day.

Why us

Built by a Peninsula business, not a metro franchise.

What homeowners say

"Honestly the best decision we could have made."

"
Dean and his team built us a beautiful hardwood deck overlooking our garden. The attention to detail was incredible — three years on it still looks brand new.
Sarah M. · Mount Eliza
"
We had a tough sloping block we'd been putting off for years. Dean came out, had a good look around, and gave us a plan that actually made sense. Finished on time.

Went with composite for our beach house. Best decision we could have made — two winters in and it looks exactly the same as install day. Genuine local mob.

FAQ

How much does it cost to build a deck on the Mornington Peninsula?+

There are a myriad of options and variables to consider when constructing a deck, all of which can affect the overall cost. Generally speaking, deck building costs range from $300/m² to $550/m², depending on factors such as materials, design complexity, site conditions, and finishing requirements.

Do I need a building permit?+

Building permits may be required for your project. We assess all requirements, advise you accordingly, and take care of the permit application and paperwork as part of our service.

What's the best timber for coastal areas like Portsea or Sorrento?+

We have found that high-quality engineered composite decking consistently outperforms natural timber in durability throughout the Peninsula. Our clients appreciate the low-maintenance benefits of composite decking, as it eliminates the need for regular sanding, staining, or oiling — saving them time and money.

How long will my deck last?+

A high-quality composite deck installed on a premium aluminium frame can be backed by industry-leading warranties of up to 50 years, providing exceptional durability, performance, and long-term peace of mind.

How long does the build take?+

Most residential decks (20–40m²) take 7–10 working days on site. Permits and material lead times add 4–8 weeks up front. We'll give you a realistic timeline from day one.

Can you build on a sloping block?+

Absolutely — we do a lot of this on the Peninsula. Mount Eliza, Mount Martha, Arthurs Seat, Main Ridge, Red Hill and parts of Mornington are all sloping country. An elevated deck on a slope is often the best feature of the property.

Can you build rooftop decks?+

We have extensive experience in the design and construction of rooftop decks. These projects typically require engineering assessments and a building permit to ensure the existing structure can safely support the additional load. Depending on the property's location and project scope, a planning permit may also be required, along with Report and Consent from neighbouring properties. We assess all project requirements and provide expert guidance throughout the approval and construction process.
