The Sunshine Coast builds outdoor rooms, not afterthoughts. An alfresco slab that meets the house at the right level, drains away from the building and carries a finish chosen for the setting turns a backyard into the part of the house that gets used most of the year.
Formed to levels, not poured to luck
A patio that works starts with where its surface needs to sit: against door thresholds, existing paving and the fall of the block. The slab is formed to those levels, poured on a prepared base with steel reinforcement, and finished with fall that takes storm water away from the house. Where the slab meets lawn or garden, the edge is formed clean and straight, because on an outdoor floor the edge is part of the look.
Finishes for outdoor rooms
- Exposed aggregate ties an alfresco floor to a driveway or pool surround in the same blend, one surface running through the outdoor spaces. Detail on the exposed aggregate page.
- Coloured concrete gives a flat architectural tone that suits modern builds; charcoal and warm stone tones are the common picks.
- Plain concrete, broom or trowel finished, is the economical floor for covered areas and the right base if outdoor tiles are planned later.
One pour, better rates
Patios are the classic add on job: when the crew is already forming a driveway or paths, the patio rate comes down because the truck, the pump and the crew are on site once instead of twice. The rates guide covers how combined pours price. Prices may vary with site conditions and variations; the written quote after a site measure is fixed.
