Aussie Outdoor Living

At the beginning of this year my husband and I decided that we would do a major outdoor renovation. Our pool needed work, the old pavers on the terrace were looking tired and had sunk here and there and, in summer we couldn't sit out there without frying! Once the decision had been made we went on the hunt for some expert advice.Once we met Chris Riley of Aussie Outdoor Living our minds were made up. Chris is a true professional. He kept in contact with us, made us feel that our business was important to him and came up with a lovely design for our pergola. His team are a great bunch, always on time, friendly, professional and tidy. We knew we were dealing with a well oiled machine.Our outdoor area is now finished and it is beyond our expectations. What a beautiful space we have now. We can now use our terrace year round and it has become our default family room. Our little grandsons think it is the best place ever to ride their scooters! What greater praise can you have.So thank you Chris, and Matt for your beautiful work. The fence is the icing on the cake. We'll have more work for you in the near future.Kris and Geoff

After checking out a few places to build my pergola, I decided to go with Aussie Outdoor Living, not because they were the cheapest (price was reasonable), but because they gave me the impression that they take a lot of pride in what they do and I actually felt confident that they could deliver on what I was after.Chris and his team certainly lived up to their reputation and gave me a positive experience from start to finish, with a level of professionalism that’s not easy to find. The end result was fantastic and I definitely got what I paid for.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys and will definitely use them again if I need anything else done in the future!

We were very impressed with the end product. We went for the full aluminium decking around our uniquely designed inground concrete pool. The communication from the company was great. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Chris and Matt.

Wonderful transformation of my backyard entertaining area. Now, I am looking forward to enjoying my new area with family and friends.

What a pleasure to have dealt with such a professional outfit.We were in desperate need to create an outdoor living area, mainly just to improve our quality of life. We had some idea of what we wanted but weren't completely sure of what we would of be able to do with the area we had.We knew the pergola was going to be the main structure and we wanted it done right!Out of the 3 quotes we received, one stood out. Chris from Aussie outdoor living....Quite a few reasons they stood out and they are as follows.1. He showed up for the quote exactly when he said he would. Not too common these days.2. But not only did we receive a quote, we received a detailed insight on material choices and the pros and cons of each choice, we received multiple roofing structure options as well as suggestions from his own experience on what would work best for us and the reasons why. He even gave us his own opinion/vision on the entire area which was great as we weren't completely there with the whole plan. It gave us some ideas and things we hadn't thought of. We could tell he was very passionate about what he does and it was quite refreshing to see.3. Once the choice was made he gave us a timeline as well as a very detailed structure of how everything worked, what was to be done and what materials and colours were going to be used. No hidden fine print.4. Every step was followed to a tee! They even took care of organising the building drawing plans and all council applications forms.5. Communication was top notch through the entire process. The materials were delivered on time and work commenced without delay.6. The boys showed up and were very professional in their approach. They were polite and took no shortcuts. Every aspect of the build was followed exactly to specification and done very professionally. Quality of work was exceptional. Once the pergola was completed, they did a final inspection as part of their process, and to my surprise they even made some small improvements that weren't necessary or noticed by me. Very happy with that! Not too many companies would take extra time out to do such things.To sum up, the final product is so much more than we could of hoped for. It fits in perfectly with our house and is now the envy of all our friends. I am so glad I chose to deal with Aussie outdoor living, such a stress free and smooth experience.We would definately recommend these guys to anyone who wants a quality outdoor living area. They have the know how, experience and great customer focus.Thanks again Aussie outdoor living.Marco & Bernadette.

Aussie Outdoor Living has transformed our outdoor area by installing an aluminium deck and pergola to the point that after 4 months we are still in awe of the transformation. From our first meeting at our home to the final conclusion we were constantly reassured by a highly professional, friendly and talented team. From the initial design from Chris, to a visit to the show room to help visualise the potential and through to the construction we have not had a more satisfying experience from a builder.We were especially impressed with the building team. Ever polite, they arrived on time, always left the site clean and tidy and had an attitude that nothing we asked for was a problem. They are true craftsman who are proud of their work and believe in producing the highest quality while actually making the experience enjoyable for the client.

If you are looking for someone to fix or install your deck, these are definitely the people to do it. All the five star ratings are well deserved.A great product and excellent workmanship.Thanks Chris and thanks Jake

A vision brought to life! Aussie Outdoor Living, what a team! Our outdoor haven is amazing, the ease of the entire project in the capable hands of Chris Riley and his selected team of professionals exceeded our expectations, the meticulous attention to detail from each of them especially Craftsmen Hayden and Chris exceptional.

A complete transformation!!We looked into a quote from Aussie Outdoor Living when we realised we were not making use of our outdoor space as it was not at all appealing.At our first meeting with Chris, I was impressed by his professionalism, vision and ideas and this continued throughout the entire process. Chris listened to what I wanted, but was able to see a bigger picture and suggested some very clever and practical ideas that combined to make our space suitable for our specific needs. The project evolved during the Process (we decided at a later stage to replace our retaining wall and fences and opted for a spa instead of a pool) and this was always managed with ease and professionalism by Chris and the staff.What has struck me through the process from start to finish was the respect towards our family and our home by the construction team, Hayden and Cameron and lead by Matt, who is wonderful to work with, can’t say enough about how easy going and accomodating he is. Todd, who managed the landscaping and has the most incredible craftsmanship, dealt with any issues in a timely manner and would have meaningful conversations to ensure we were happy every step of the way (he regularly went above and beyond to ensure we were thrilled with the end result).Due to the Covid lockdown, our project was suspended for about 8 weeks. Before they ceased works, they tidied everything up, removed the machinery and left the backyard as operational as possible. Every effort was made to have the backyard project back on track as soon as was practicable,such that the process was amended to allow those workers on site who were allowed to be here. Despite these challenges, the team were adaptable and flexible and kept me informed every step of the way.What my hubby and I have really valued is that our project is treated with the same respect and care as if they were working on their own home. Matt pops in every few days to check in on the works and is always willing to answer questions or address concerns, however trivial they might be. The attention to detail is honestly, second to none. They worked with us so closely to ensure that we were happy at every point of the process, respectfully, kindly and honestly.We are about to embark on our front yard transformation now and here is another example of the care that is taken… Chris popped in a few weeks ago to say that he had been thinking about the scope of the project because he just didn’t feel it was going to look as good as it could and came up with a new suggestion which we hadn’t yet considered (the care and thought is as if he is planning for his own home and this is reflective of how he managed our backyard transformation as well). I love his new suggestion and can’t wait for the front yard project to start in the New Year!If you want peace of mind, knowing that your job will be done right and your home is in good hands, you honestly can’t go wrong with Aussie Outdoor Living.
