Transforming an Unused Backyard into a Stylish Family OasisThis 1970s home had an outdoor space that didn’t suit the family’s needs. The backyard was transformed into a safe, stylish retreat with a pool, concrete paving, and an alfresco area. The new layout creates a smooth flow between indoor and outdoor living, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. Now, the owners enjoy a welcoming space that feels like a holiday at home.

The first stage focused on creating a functional outdoor space featuring a new pool, concrete paving, expansive decking, and an alfresco area perfect for entertaining. Regular communication and site meetings helped Sarah and Andrew stay informed and confident, while expert advice on materials and finishes ensured their vision was realised.The transformation turned an underused, unsafe backyard into a stylish and practical family retreat. The smooth flow between indoor and outdoor living now offers safe, low-maintenance spaces where the family loves to relax and entertain. What was once a difficult site has become their favourite place at home, like a holiday every day.
