Pergola Renovation in Ridgehaven, South Australia

Complete Backyard Renovation in Ridgehaven, South Australia

This South Australian couple had a beautiful backyard, but old structures and unattractive concrete surfaces made their outdoors less comfortable and inviting. Together, we planned a full backyard renovation that included a new timber pergola, a carport, and stunning decking to complete their outdoor space. Additionally, we installed a new garage door and replaced gutters to enhance home security.

The Problem

Like many families, this South Australian couple had a spacious backyard but couldn’t fully enjoy it due to several issues:

  • Old structures: The pergola and carport were outdated and didn’t provide adequate shade or protection.
  • Unattractive concrete: The existing concrete was uneven and required a step up to enter the back door, creating both a practical inconvenience and a potential safety concern.
  • Damaged gutters: Old gutters raised concerns about drainage and potential water damage.

They wanted a modern, comfortable outdoor area designed for entertaining and everyday use.

Our Approach

We took a holistic approach to create a backyard that was both beautiful and practical:

  • Made to Measure: Every element, from the pergola materials to the garage door, was chosen by the family to reflect their personal style.
  • Quality First: We used premium, weather-resistant materials built to last in South Australia’s climate.
  • Lifestyle Upgrade: The design focused on year-round functionality, perfect for summer BBQs, daily parking, and cosy winter gatherings.
  • Council Approval Support: We guided the family through the council approval process, managing paperwork and compliance to ensure hassle-free progress.

The Solution

The transformation delivered much more than new structures, it restored the family’s outdoor lifestyle.

  • Pergola: A fully engineered steel pergola providing reliable sun and rain protection throughout the year.

  • Carport: Stylish and robust, the new carport safeguards their vehicle from the elements while enhancing the home’s curb appeal. New pavers create the perfect driveway!

  • Decking: The uneven concrete was replaced with a stunning timber deck that adds warmth and character. The ground is now level, with no steps required to enter the house, improving both safety and accessibility.

  • Garage Door: The modern garage door improves property security, protecting both the vehicle and the house.

  • Gutters: New gutters ensure proper drainage, preventing water damage and improving durability.

The result is a fully revitalised outdoor space designed for relaxing, entertaining, and embracing the South Australian lifestyle to the fullest.
