Premium Hardwood Decking
Hardwood decking is a timeless choice for homeowners looking to create a warm, natural outdoor space that adds real value to their property. At Livin Renovations, we build custom timber decks using high-quality hardwoods like Merbau, designed to handle tough weather conditions while maintaining long-term durability and visual appeal.
Each deck is tailored to suit your home, whether it’s for entertaining, extending your living space, or complementing a patio or verandah. We carefully consider site conditions such as drainage, levels, and layout to ensure a seamless finish.
If you’re after a premium outdoor solution with a natural look and long-lasting performance, hardwood decking is a proven investment.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is ideal for homeowners who want a modern outdoor space without the ongoing maintenance of timber. At Livin Renovations, we install high-quality composite decking from trusted brands like WoodEvo and EkoDeck, offering a durable and low-maintenance alternative.
Unlike hardwood, composite decking doesn’t require staining, oiling, or sealing. It’s resistant to fading, moisture, and termites, making it perfect for all weather conditions. With a range of colours and finishes available, you can achieve a sleek, consistent look that complements any outdoor area.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with patios and outdoor spaces, composite decking is a smart, long-term solution for easy living.
HARDWOOD VS COMPOSITE DECKING IN Moorabbin - WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?
After exploring your options for decking in Moorabbin, the next step is deciding which material best suits your home and lifestyle. Both hardwood decking and composite decking are popular choices across Moorabbin and surrounding area, but they offer very different long-term benefits.
Rather than one being better, it comes down to how you want your outdoor space to look, feel, and perform over time.
Hardwood vs Composite – Key Differences
Hardwood decking is known for its natural character and premium finish, making it ideal for homeowners who want a traditional, high-end outdoor space. Over time, it can be maintained and refreshed, allowing it to age beautifully with proper care.
On the other hand, composite decking is designed for convenience. It delivers a clean, modern look with minimal upkeep, making it a popular choice for busy households wanting a durable, low-maintenance solution that performs well in Moorabbin homes.
What Works Best for Moorabbin Homes?
Across Moorabbin and surrounding suburbs, many homeowners are now leaning towards composite decking due to its long-term ease and resistance to the elements. However, hardwood decking continues to be a preferred option for those wanting a more natural and architectural finish.
Still Not Sure What’s Right for Your Home?
Your decision will typically come down to:
• Maintenance → Do you want low upkeep or don’t mind periodic oiling?
• Appearance → Natural timber grain vs modern uniform finish
• Longevity → Refinishable timber vs long-lasting composite boards
• Lifestyle → Entertaining space vs everyday low-maintenance use
Choosing the right decking material doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

" From the initial design that I provided, Mayank did the pricing using maps and it was half of the cost quoted by other established companies. The setup for obtaining the building permits, inspections, delivery of hardware, measuring and building the carport was well planned and payment in various stages of construction. Measurements were very meticulously done with no margin for errors, and well thought of system for guttering and storm water drains. The design has a skewed section of the carport which was the main challenge and Mayank's creativity made the difference where others would have opted for a square shaped carport. Mayank has shown professionalism, maintained very good communication and always available on the phone, I appreciated his friendly attitude and advice. The outcome of the build can be viewed in the images I'm uploading to his google page. Mayank is highly commendable, you may confidently hire him knowing that the job will get done right. "

" We had our timber decking replaced with a modern timber looking composite decking. We were unsure about the change from wood to composite. But the change looked far better, and required next to no maintenance. The old decking, I used to re stain twice a year. The completed work was professionally done.
Because we were impressed with Mayank's work, we asked if he would replace our side fence.
The total cost was very reasonable and great. "

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, most patios, verandahs and carports in Moorabbin require a building permit—especially when they are attached to the house or exceed certain size or height limits. At Livin Renovations we manage the full permit process, including drawings, engineering and council or private building surveyor approvals.
For homes across Moorabbin, costs vary depending on size, design, materials and site conditions. As a general guide, patio and carport projects can range from budget-friendly options to fully customised designs. A professional site assessment and quote will give you an accurate price with no surprises.
Once permits are approved and materials are ready, most Stratco patios and carports are installed within a few days. The overall timeline depends on design complexity, weather and permit approvals, which can take several weeks.
Yes. Patios and carports can be either attached to the house or freestanding. Attached structures require proper engineering and compliance with building regulations to ensure the home structure is not compromised.
This is the most common question we get asked. The truth is not all structures will add value to your home. A well-designed and expertly installed outdoor structure increases usable living space, improves street appeal and can significantly boost resale value - especially in Melbourne’s lifestyle-focused market.
Yes, at Livin Renovations we manage the entire approval process, including drawings, engineering, permits and inspections-so you don’t have to deal with paperwork or council confusion. Having said that, if you have preference for your own building draftsman and building surveyor, we would be more than glad to work alongside them to ensure the process is smooth and efficient.
