The basics

What a Patios Perth Project Actually Involves

A patio project isn’t just pavers and a roof. It starts with understanding how a space will be used, whether that’s everyday family living, entertaining, or simply a sheltered spot to sit outside year-round, and then designing around that use rather than a generic template. Several site conditions shape what actually works on a given block:

Drainage

ONE SERVICE

Design, Construction and Maintenance Under One Roof

Indian Ocean Landscapes handles design, construction and maintenance as a single service, rather than handing a project between separate design and build contractors who’ve never spoken to each other.

That continuity matters on a patio build specifically, because the person who designed the space understands the intent behind it during construction, and ongoing maintenance keeps the finished result looking the way it did on handover day.

Pricing

Consultation and Design Pricing

A patio project begins with a paid consultation from $550, which covers a genuine assessment of the site and what’s achievable within it, rather than a generic sales visit. From there, design packages start from $1,760, and clients who want to see the finished space before committing to construction can add a 3D rendered design from $3,250, which makes it far easier to sign off on a layout, materials and finishes with confidence before any ground is broken.

After the design stage

Because every patio differs in size, roofing style, flooring and finish, final construction cost is quoted once the design stage has worked through those specifics for a particular block and budget, rather than priced as a single number upfront. That staged approach, from consultation through design to a firm construction quote, means each cost reflects real decisions made about a specific project rather than a guess made before the site’s even been assessed.

Why us

Why Choose Indian Ocean Landscapes as a Perth Patio Builder

Book a consultation

In-house team

Patio projects are delivered by Indian Ocean Landscapes' in-house team working alongside trusted contractors, a model the business has run for well over a decade.

Accountable through the build

That means the people managing the design relationship stay involved and accountable through construction, rather than a project being sold by one team and quietly handed off to an unrelated crew for the build.

Quality workmanship

Quality workmanship is one of the values the business is built on, and the same installers who build a patio are the ones who stand behind it afterwards.

Retaining Walls and Paving
Approvals

Council and Shire Approval for a Perth Patio

Most patios in the Perth metro area need council or shire approval before construction starts, and the requirements can differ depending on which local government area a property sits in.

  • Indian Ocean Landscapes manages this approval process on a client's behalf as part of the design and consultation stage, preparing the documentation a council or shire needs and working through compliance requirements so a homeowner isn't left chasing paperwork on top of everything else involved in the build.

Climate

Designing for Perth's Climate

Perth has a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, and that combination makes orientation and shade genuine design considerations, not an afterthought bolted on at the end.

The Fremantle Doctor

The afternoon sea breeze locals call the Fremantle Doctor helps take the edge off summer heat, and a well-oriented patio is designed to make the most of it rather than blocking it out.

Orientation and shade

A patio that faces the wrong direction without adequate roofing or shade can go unused for large parts of the year, while one designed around the sun's path and the household's actual outdoor habits gets used through far more of the year. This is part of why the site consultation and design stage matter as much as the choice of materials.

Ongoing maintenance

Ongoing maintenance is also part of what keeps a patio looking like it did on handover day. Timber, paving and roofing all weather differently over time, and having the same business that designed and built the patio also available for its upkeep means problems get picked up and addressed by people who already understand how the space was originally put together.

Investment

8–10%

Commonly cited added home value

Why a Patio Is a Genuine Home Improvement Investment

A well-built patio isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade, it’s also a genuine investment in the property itself. Quality outdoor living areas are commonly cited as adding somewhere in the order of 8-10% to a home’s value, on top of the everyday benefit of simply having more usable, comfortable backyard and outdoor space for as long as the home is owned.

Materials

Materials and Design Options

Perth patio designs from Indian Ocean Landscapes cover a wide range of roofing, flooring and structural options, from open-gable and flat-roof patios through to fully enclosed, modern alfresco areas, paired with paving, timber decking or exposed aggregate finishes depending on the look and budget a client has in mind.
Gable and pitched roof lines are a common choice because they help with airflow and reduce heat build-up compared with a flat skillion roof in direct sun, which is part of why roof style is a genuine design decision on a Perth block rather than just an aesthetic one.
Quality materials matter as much as design, since a patio built with premium materials and proper workmanship holds up to Perth’s heat and sun far better than a budget alternative. Getting this combination right for a specific block, orientation and budget is exactly what the design stage exists to work through before construction pricing is locked in.

Pairing a Patio with the Rest of Your Outdoor Space

Because Indian Ocean Landscapes works across the whole property, not just the patio itself, a patio project is also the natural point to plan the outdoor living space around it.

Layered lighting

Layered outdoor lighting is a common addition that makes a patio usable well after dark rather than just through daylight hours.

Sliding & stacking doors

Large sliding or stacking doors between the house and patio help the two spaces read as one rather than a hard line between indoors and out.

Alfresco kitchen

For clients who entertain often, an alfresco kitchen built alongside the patio keeps cooking, smoke and heat out of the main seating area rather than crowding it.

View alfresco kitchens

Waterwise planting & reticulation

Waterwise native planting and a well-planned reticulation system around the edges of a patio also soften the hard landscaping and keep ongoing maintenance manageable, which matters in a professional, experienced team's approach to a finished result that still looks good years later, not just on handover day.

How it runs

Getting Started on a Patios Perth Project

Planning a new patio starts with the paid site consultation, moves into design (with an optional 3D render for anyone who wants to see the finished space before committing), and then into construction once the design, materials and any council or shire approval are signed off.
STEP 01

Site consultation

Paid, on-site assessment from $550.

STEP 02

Design

Layout, materials and finishes, with an optional 3D render.

STEP 03

Approvals

Council or shire sign-off and building permit.

STEP 04

Construction

Built and maintained by the same team.

  • In Western Australia, a building permit application can take anywhere from around two weeks up to three months depending on the local council, and some patios may also need planning approval before a building permit is issued, which is part of why that stage is factored into the overall timeline rather than treated as an afterthought. Because Indian Ocean Landscapes manages design, construction and maintenance together, that same team stays involved from the first site visit through to the finished patio and beyond.
  • Indian Ocean Landscapes is based at 8/49 Dellamarta Road, Wangara WA 6065, and works with homeowners across the Perth metro area on patio design and construction projects of varying scale, from a simple undercover entertaining area through to a fully integrated outdoor living space.

Shane and Indian Ocean Landscapes is one of the best construction services I have ever used! His honesty, communication style, professionalism, knowledge and workmanship is second to none in the residential landscaping sector in Perth. Dealing with Shane was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

Shane from Indian Ocean Landscapes knows landscaping, and it's evident in the work he's done for my family home. Always suggests the best way forward and he goes the extra yard in making sure the work is done to a high standard. He's also converted the carport into a garage, along with drainage and council requirements. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommended.

Honestly where do I begin? These guys are absolutely awesome. My strong recommendation is to get them in and let them advise you on what you need to do, even if you think you know, you probably don't. They can transform a dust bowl into a garden of Eden and that's exactly what they did for us. Awesome job, very reasonable price and an absolutely outstanding bunch of down to earth blokes.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Book a consultation
Does Indian Ocean Landscapes handle the whole patio project, or just the design?
Design, construction and maintenance are all handled as one service, delivered by an in-house team working with trusted contractors, so the same business stays involved from initial design through to the finished build and its upkeep afterwards.
Because design, construction and maintenance sit with one in-house team. That means fewer handovers, a design intent that’s understood right through to the build, and a business that’s still available for upkeep long after the patio is finished.
Timelines vary with council approvals and the scope of the specific project, but as a general guide a building permit can take anywhere from around two weeks to three months, and construction itself typically runs a further four to eight weeks once approvals and materials are locked in. Indian Ocean Landscapes talks through realistic timing for a specific project during the consultation and design stage.
A patio is generally a more substantial, roofed structure designed to provide proper shelter from sun and rain, whether that’s an open-gable design, a flat roof or a fully enclosed alfresco area. A pergola is typically a lighter, more open framework, often left without a solid roof, and used more for filtered shade or to support climbing plants than as an all-weather outdoor room. Indian Ocean Landscapes designs and builds patios that function as genuine year-round living space, with roofing, flooring and structural choices worked through at the design stage to suit how a household actually wants to use the area.
