Our Story

Melbourne's Trusted Fencing Specialists — Built on Real Experience

Louis first learnt fencing for a simple reason: to keep goats in.

What started as practical farm work slowly became an obsession with structure, craftsmanship, and the way a fence can shape a space. Over time, that hands-on experience evolved into a deeper appreciation for fencing not just as a trade, but as a form of design and construction that people interact with every day.

Now leading The Melbourne Tradesmen, Louis has built a reputation for pushing fencing beyond the standard boundary line—combining strong construction with thoughtful detailing, custom materials, and design-led thinking.

Around the team, he's jokingly known as "the GOAT of fences" — partly because it all started with actual goats, and partly because of his relentless focus on quality, creativity, and building fences that genuinely stand out.

Gabriel

Gabriel

Site Specialist - Colorbond Fencing

Gabriel is a valued member of The Melbourne Tradesmen team with a strong focus on hands-on site work and a particular passion for Colorbond steel fencing and finishes. Known around the team as "the Greek," Gabriel brings energy, pride, and consistency to every project he works on.

Yury

Yury

Timber Fencing Specialist

Yury is the team's quiet powerhouse at The Melbourne Tradesmen, known for his strength, endurance, and ability to move just about anything required on a fencing site. Around the team, he's called "Mother Russia" — a nod to his origins and his no-nonsense approach to work. Originally from Russia, Yury brings a tough work ethic and a calm, steady presence on site. He specialises in timber fencing works, where heavy lifting, long runs, and precise placement are part of the daily rhythm. From posts and sleepers to full timber panels on uneven ground, Yury is the one who keeps the job flowing when it gets physical. Reliable under pressure and rarely fazed by difficult terrain, he plays a key role in turning raw timber into straight, solid, long-lasting fences built to handle Australian conditions.

Gabe M

Gabe M

Design-Focused Fencing Specialist

Gabe M is a multi-skilled member of The Melbourne Tradesmen team, combining the discipline of a soccer player, the eye of a future architect, and the hands-on experience of a qualified landscaper. Around the team, he's known as "Beckham" — a playful nod to his soccer background and natural skill. Currently studying architecture, Gabe brings a design-first mindset to every project, always thinking about proportion, space, and how a fence sits within its environment—not just as a boundary, but as part of the overall landscape. With a background in landscaping and a strong appreciation for built form, he has a natural talent for shaping outdoor spaces and creating bespoke fencing solutions that feel intentional, balanced, and refined. On site, he's just as comfortable with practical installation as he is with design thinking. Gabe is especially drawn to custom, design-led fencing work—where creativity meets construction—and takes pride in building fences that are not only functional, but genuinely beautiful.

Dima

Dima

Demolition & Site Specialist

Dima is a hands-on member of The Melbourne Tradesmen team, originally from Kazakhstan, with a strong background in practical site work and a particular passion for demolition. Known around the team as "Demo," he thrives in the early stages of a project, where structure comes down and space is reset for something new. For Dima, demolition isn't just about breaking things apart—it's a cathartic process, where precision, control, and effort clear the way for better design and construction to follow. Strong, focused, and reliable on site, he brings intensity and energy to the job while still working with care around surrounding structures and safety requirements. Dima plays an important role in transitioning projects from old to new, setting the foundation for the fencing and landscape work that follows.
