An Uncovered Backyard Limits How Much You Use It
Melbourne weather is unpredictable. Without shade or shelter, the outdoor area only gets used in a narrow window of conditions — and even then, it's not always comfortable.
A backyard without cover means moving inside the moment the sun gets too strong or rain starts. The space ends up underused no matter how well it's set up underneath.
A well-designed pergola gives the outdoor area a defined, sheltered space that works across more of the year. It changes how the backyard feels and how often it actually gets used.
We build pergolas that suit the layout of your property and look like a natural extension of the home — not something bolted on as an afterthought.

A properly built pergola defines the outdoor entertaining area and gives it shelter without making it feel closed in. It creates a space that works in summer heat, light rain and everything in between.
We build timber and steel pergolas designed to complement the home and the existing outdoor space. Clean lines, quality materials and proper construction mean the structure looks great and holds up over time without ongoing maintenance headaches.
A pergola can also be combined with a deck, outdoor kitchen or full entertaining area as part of the one build. Designing it all together means everything fits properly and the outdoor space functions as a whole — not as a collection of separate additions.
Every project starts with a site inspection so the design suits your property, the style of the home and how you plan to use the space.

I have hired Ambrose Building Group on two occasions to demolish and build decks. The team was always responsive, friendly, stuck to timeframes and delivered quality work. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Murphy and his team again.

Murphy and the team renovated our house - new floors; fence; plastering; doors and skirting boards. The quality of the finish is exceptional and they are a great bunch of people. Would highly recommend anyone undertaking building works to get in touch. Hope to use them again in future.

Murphy was incredibly patient and dealt with my 'Nervous Nelly' tendencies so well. Nothing was too much trouble. I absolutely LOVED my new bathroom so much we ended up increasing the scope to include a few minor changes to the kitchen and lighting fixtures throughout the apartment also.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost depends on the size, materials and whether the pergola is attached to the home or freestanding. Timber pergolas and steel pergolas have different price points, and adding roofing or shade sail coverage affects the overall cost. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site inspection based on your specific requirements.
Pergolas are commonly built using hardwood timber or powder-coated steel. Timber gives a more traditional, warm look that suits a lot of Melbourne homes. Steel is highly durable and suits contemporary or industrial styles. We can walk you through the options based on your home, your budget and how you plan to use the space.
Yes. We regularly build pergolas as part of a larger outdoor project that includes a deck, outdoor kitchen or covered entertaining area. Designing and building everything together means the outdoor space works as a cohesive whole rather than a collection of separate structures.
Some pergolas require a building permit depending on the size, height and whether they are attached to the home. During the planning stage we can advise whether a permit is needed and guide you through the process if required.
A standard pergola build typically takes one to two weeks. Larger projects that include a deck, outdoor kitchen or additional roofing will take longer. We give you a clear timeframe before work begins so you know what to expect throughout the build.
