Pacific Palms Patios
A custom-built patio can change how you enjoy your home, providing shade, comfort, and a practical space for outdoor living. At Dowdy Constructions, we build patios throughout Pacific Palms that are tailored to the property and how the space will be used. Whether you’re after a quiet corner for relaxing or a generous entertaining area, we’ll design a structure that’s functional, low-maintenance, and suited to the local conditions.
With more than 25 years of building experience, we understand how to work with sloping blocks, limited access and coastal weather. Every project starts with a proper site review, and we’ll walk you through materials, layout options and how the new patio will interact with your home. Locals rely on us for honest advice, straightforward planning and a clean, well-executed finish. To talk through your project ideas, call
0455 508 101 and speak with the Dowdy Constructions team.
Designed With Your Home in Mind
Building a patio isn’t just about adding a roof—it’s about making sure the space functions well with the rest of your home. That’s why we spend time looking at layout, orientation and structure before we start. We consider how people will move through the space, where water runoff will go, and how much natural light or wind exposure the area gets throughout the day.

From there, we work out roof shape, post placement and material selection based on how you plan to use the patio. For example, a patio used for regular dining may need better access to indoor areas, while a poolside cover might call for an open design with airflow. We also manage approvals where needed and coordinate every trade involved. The result is a patio that looks right, performs well, and fits seamlessly with the rest of your property.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I build a patio over existing paving or concrete?
Yes, in many cases a patio structure can be installed over existing paving or concrete if the surface is stable and correctly sloped for drainage. However, the condition and level of the base will need to be assessed first. Reinforcement or adjustments may be necessary to support the new structure and prevent long-term movement or water pooling.
What are some good ways to connect a patio to the garden?
Stepping paths, planter boxes, garden edging or integrated seating can help soften the transition between a patio and the surrounding garden. Consider how you’ll move through the space and whether you’d like to blur the line between indoor and outdoor zones. A good design will feel natural and usable without blocking views or access.
Do I need to consider bushfire regulations when building a patio?
If your property is in a designated bushfire-prone area, then yes—certain materials and construction methods may be required to meet compliance. These regulations affect roofing, framing, and in some cases, screen materials. It’s important to check local requirements early so your patio is both safe and legally compliant.
How can I make a patio more comfortable year-round?
To use a patio in all seasons, consider adding features that control temperature, shade, and airflow. Roof insulation helps reduce heat in summer, while ceiling fans can improve comfort on warmer days. You can also look at adding outdoor blinds, screening, or windbreaks to create shelter during cooler or breezy weather. Planning these details early makes the space more usable and cost-effective to build.
