Built for Comfort & Function
A patio should feel like a natural extension of your home—somewhere you actually want to spend time. We’ll help you design a layout that makes sense for how you use the space, whether it’s a quiet spot for reading or a covered area for entertaining guests. The size, shape and placement all play a role in how comfortable and practical the patio will be, and we’ll guide you through each decision to get the most out of your yard.

Our patios are built using quality materials that suit both your home’s style and the local climate. Whether it’s a freestanding structure or an addition that connects directly to your house, we make sure it’s finished to a high standard and built to last.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best type of roof for a patio?
The best roof depends on your home’s design and how you want to use the space. Gable roofs offer good airflow and suit larger areas, while skillion (flat) roofs are ideal for sleek, modern looks and tight spaces. Insulated roof panels are a great option if you want to reduce heat or install lighting. The orientation of your home and sun exposure should also guide your decision.
Can I build a patio on an existing deck or slab?
Yes, but it depends on the condition and structure of what’s already there. If the slab or deck is in good shape and built to support additional load, a patio roof can often be added with minimal changes. However, if the base isn’t level, or isn’t structurally sound, reinforcement or rebuilding may be needed. A site inspection will confirm what’s possible and safe.
What materials work best for a durable patio?
Durability depends on climate, exposure, and intended use. Common options include treated timber for a classic look and structural steel or aluminium for long-term strength and low maintenance. Choosing materials that complement your home and that can handle local conditions well is key to a patio that lasts.
