Mornington homes

A backyard you live in.

Mornington life happens outside: a walk to the beach, lunch on Main Street, then home to a backyard that gets used from spring to autumn. The best spaces here have a covered deck or alfresco area for long lunches, room for the kids to play, and paving and planting that handle sand, salt and summer.

We design around how your family actually uses the yard. You see a mockup of your own yard first, then get an itemised proposal you can build all at once or in stages.

Local know how

What we plan for in Mornington.

01

Vegetation and heritage checks

Parts of the Peninsula have planning controls on removing vegetation, and some older Mornington homes are heritage listed. We check what applies before we design anything.

02

Decks and shade

A deck or alfresco area only gets used if it's comfortable. We plan pergolas, roofing and screens so you get shade in summer and shelter when the wind picks up.

03

Family backyards

Turf that copes with kids and dogs, safe paths and steps, and pool areas with a compliant safety barrier designed in from the start.

04

Levels, drainage and salt

We plan where the water goes so it runs away from the house, use fixings that hold up to salt near the bay, and tell you upfront if a wall of 1 m or more needs a building permit.

What's included

Planned once, built properly.

Every Mornington project is quoted stage by stage, so you can build it all at once or in steps and see exactly what's included before we start.

How it works

Four steps.
No surprises.

A simple process that shows you the finished result before we start, and keeps you in the loop until handover.

Site visit

We come out, measure up, check levels and drainage, and talk through how you want to use the space.

02

Visual mockup

We show you your own yard with the new design applied, so you can see it before you commit.

FAQ

Mornington
FAQs.

Yes. We're based in Frankston and build across the Mornington Peninsula, including Mornington, Mount Martha, Mount Eliza and Frankston South.

Yes. We design and build decks with pergolas, roofing and screening, and connect them to paving, lighting and the garden so it all works as one space.

Yes. We plan hard wearing turf, safe steps and paths, and room to play, alongside the spaces for the adults to relax.

Some work does. Removing vegetation can need a planning permit in parts of the Peninsula, and retaining walls of 1 m or more generally need a building permit. We check it all at the site visit.
