Love our new deck!

“My experience with Smarter Home Renovations has been very positive. I love that it is a family business. Tony and Milan work together very well. They are professional, polite, considerate, they work really hard and they do a great job! I am very happy with their work and highly recommend them.”
Christine H

Kitchen and outdoor renovations

“Fantastic service and fantastic price. We had our outdoor area fully tiled and our kitchen renovated. They talked me through the process step by step, did what they promised in the time they promised, were always on time and so very friendly. They even went out of their way with additional extras, running around Melbourne buying everything I needed to take the pressure off me. Would recommend you give them a try. The pricing is very reasonable and affordable, and nothing was too big for them to do. Father and son service, fantastic team.”
Betty Gray

Local Knowledge

Outdoor Living in Camberwell Homes

Camberwell’s larger blocks give many homes deep, leafy backyards with mature trees, established gardens and sometimes a pool or tennis court, while the period front gardens are best left untouched. Rear extensions from earlier decades often finish with a step down to a small paved area, leaving the garden poorly connected. Houses on the rises around the suburb can have levels to work with.

That shapes most of our Camberwell outdoor projects: building decks and covered alfresco areas level with new rear living, designing pergolas that work with heritage homes, adding decking and screening around pools, and working carefully around protected trees. Decks and roofed structures often need a building permit, and Heritage Overlays and tree controls can apply, so we confirm requirements with the City of Boroondara before work begins.

FAQ

Decks and Outdoor Living Camberwell: Your Questions

Common questions about decks, pergolas and outdoor entertaining areas. Still have one? Give us a call.

Ask Us Anything
It depends on the size, height and position of the deck. In Victoria, decks under 1 metre high and within certain setback distances from boundaries generally don't require a building permit. Larger decks, raised decks, and decks attached to the house often do. We assess your site early in the process and handle any permits required, so you won't need to navigate the council yourself.
