When planning a backyard makeover, many Melbourne homeowners ask us: “Should I go for decking or paving?” Both options have unique benefits, and at ALD Landscaping, we help you choose the right fit for your home and lifestyle.
✅ Decking
- •Ideal for sloping blocks or raised areas
- •Warm, natural look (timber or composite)
- •Perfect for BBQs, outdoor dining, and entertaining
✅ Paving
- •Durable and low-maintenance
- •Wide range of styles and textures (stone, brick, concrete)
- •Great for pathways, courtyards, and driveways
Our Recommendation
For many Melbourne homes, a combination works best — paving for pathways and driveways, and decking for entertainment spaces. This balance adds both functionality and beauty.
