Including installation considerations such as size/design specifications, rubbish/soil removal (if required), and concrete finishes (tints, sealants, concrete design).
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
MEASUREMENTS. Measure out the space you have to work with. Ensure that there is sufficient space to safely enter and exit the water and move around the pool area. Additionally, make sure you have enough room to accommodate outdoor furniture and pots. It is important to consider the installation of a fence as part of your deck plans for the pool.
DESIGN PLANNING. Once you’ve got your layout in mind… The simplest way to design a patio that suits your needs is to draw it out, create a vision board or access a design app. This way, you can plan out colour schemes, furniture, outdoor kitchen and landscape designs.
COLOUR CHOICES. In addition to working within the overall colour scheme of your home/lifestyle vision, it’s important to remember the impact of light and dark colours. Light colours such as white and beige are very popular as they create the feel of larger open spaces, whilst dark colours tend to absorb more UV rays, causing the concrete to become very hot.
INSTALL A SHADE OPTION. Either a fixed or retractable shade option can serve many purposes for your patio including privacy, sound and weather protection.
DRAINAGE. Without proper drainage, excess water can cause damage around your home.
