Bayside
In Sandringham we built a dark deck into an existing raised courtyard bed. Our base is in Craigieburn and we work across Melbourne.
Our Job Here
The courtyard had a raised garden bed inside rendered walls. We dug the bed out and laid agricultural drainage, bedded in gravel.
Inside the bed walls we built a subframe, then laid the dark decking over it.
The planters, fences and trees around the courtyard were already there. Only the deck is our work.

Sandringham is in Bayside City Council, and the coast sets a height limit near the beach. Check your own property on VicPlan.
Near the coast, the Building Height Control overlay (DDO1) limits buildings to two storeys, not counting an attic or basement, and a permit cannot be granted to go higher.
