A recent deck in Highett.
This merbau deck is one of our recent Highett builds. It's about 40 square metres, with a stainless cable balustrade and full width steps down to a new lawn. We also laid the turf, the steel edging and the gravel firepit area, so the whole backyard came together in one job. The boards are fixed with stainless screws and finished with merbau deck oil, on a hardwood frame over concrete footings.
Highett blocks are often flat and compact, so a deck like this turns the back of the house into the main living space. You see a mockup of your own yard first, then get an itemised proposal you can build all at once or in stages.

What we plan for in Highett.
Raised decks and permits
A deck more than 800 mm off the ground generally needs a building permit, plus footings and framing to suit. We tell you upfront what your design needs.
Two councils
Highett sits across both Bayside and Kingston councils, and their rules differ, including for removing trees. We check which council you're in before we design.
Built to last
Hardwood subframes on concrete footings with galvanised stirrups, stainless fixings and quality oil, so the deck stays solid and holds its colour.
Steps and balustrades
Wide steps make a deck feel part of the garden. Where the height calls for a balustrade, we build it to code in stainless cable, timber or glass.
Planned once, built properly.
