Mount Lawley backyard with paving set level to the internal floor and a steel pergola overhead

Alfresco Extension

A jarrah deck and batten pergola that made a west-facing character home's backyard usable after 3pm.

Mount Lawley backyard with paving set level to the internal floor and a steel pergola overhead

What a job like this starts with

A 1930s character home with a small, hot, west-facing yard. The owners wanted to eat outside in summer without renovating the house itself.

What the work involves

  • Jarrah deck, 42m², level with the internal floor so the doors read as one space
  • Angled batten pergola modelled to cut the 4pm sun without darkening the kitchen
  • Aluminium privacy screening to the neighbour-facing side
  • Deciduous ornamental pear planted on the hot western corner
  • Low-voltage garden lighting on a timer

What you end up with

The shade study drove the batten angle, so the deck is comfortable from mid-afternoon in February while the kitchen keeps its winter light.

Typical scope

  • Scope Deck, pergola & screening
  • Typical timeline 4 weeks
  • Typical size 95m²
