Deck cost planning · Melbourne

Decking cost in Melbourne

A new deck rarely comes down to a clean per-square-metre rate. Height off the ground, footings, framing and access usually move the number more than the board you choose. Below is what to plan around before you compare quotes.

Broad cost bands to plan around

Treat these as planning ranges, not quotes — firm pricing needs a site visit, ground check and final material choice.

  • Low-set treated pine deck Close to the ground, simple shape and a budget board — often the lowest band per square metre, before stairs or balustrade.
  • Hardwood or composite deck Mid-range boards, more framing and fixings, and a tidier finish push the rate up noticeably over treated pine.
  • Elevated or structural deck Height off the ground means deeper footings, posts, bracing, balustrade and often a permit — usually the most expensive band.

Structure and site access set the price before boards are chosen.
