Have you seen a large, beautiful home and wondered what was missing to make it feel complete? In our experience, it’s often as simple as the absence of outdoor patios and pergolas.
Well-designed shade areas improve the curb appeal exponentially, particularly in the front of the home. Patios add architectural richness and a sense of room to breathe.
And that’s just the aesthetics: As a lifestyle factor, an outdoor patio creates a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. It’s not a stretch to say that the presence of patios and porches can improve the sense of community for a whole neighbourhood. Aren’t you far more likely to stop and converse with your neighbours when you see them outdoors on the patio enjoying a cold drink, or vice versa?

In the front of the house, patios are a great way to sit and watch the world go by…from evening joggers to children playing on the sidewalk. In the back of the home, a patio creates a more private space to relax and enjoy the quiet and solitude. It’s as if we have come full circle: There was a time when people spent so much of their time soaking in the breeze and conversation on their patios, decks, and verandahs, and then, for years, it seemed to go out of fashion, with people cooped up inside whenever they were home. Now, outdoor spaces of all sorts are more popular than ever as people come to view them as true extensions of the house. This is especially true with our beautiful Gold Coast climate.
The Versatility of Outdoor Patios
There are no limits to where an outdoor patio can add new design elements to your home, from side patios to courtyard-style patios that become outdoor centrepieces with multiple access points from different areas of the home.
We’ve even worked with homeowners who opt to rip out an unused, enclosed room to make space for a new patio that better serves their goals for entertaining, opening up the house, or just creating a new space to enjoy the outdoors.
We work with existing homes and new construction to design and build new outdoor patios. For both, patios can become valuable living spaces for a fraction of the cost of adding enclosed square footage.
When we discuss your plans, one of our favourite parts is exploring the different decking types available for outdoor patios today with you. Treated pine is popular for its low-cost versatility and resistance to insects and rot. Merbau, an imported hardwood from Southeast Asia and Queensland, is another durable decking that lasts decades. We also work quite a bit with spotted gum decking, a hardwood native to Australia that many people love for the natural wavy pattern in its grain.
We will review all of your options with you—including other timbers and a wide variety of colours and finishes—until you are satisfied you’re getting the look and durability you require. And we’ll never encourage you to make a choice we believe to be anything less than top quality, no matter your budget. Regardless of how much or how little you plan to spend, ensuring you get great value from your investment is very important to us.
