Regular maintenance is key to keeping a patio looking great and ensuring its longevity. The best approach depends on the material used, but general upkeep includes cleaning, sealing (if applicable), and checking for wear and tear.

For concrete patios, sweeping away debris and occasional pressure washing helps prevent dirt buildup. Sealing every few years can protect against stains and cracking. If cracks do appear, patching them early can prevent further damage.

Paver patios require similar care, with the added step of reapplying joint sand or sealant to prevent weed growth and shifting. Occasional pressure washing helps keep pavers looking fresh, but using a mild detergent ensures the surface isn’t damaged.

Stone patios, such as those made from sandstone or travertine, may require sealing to prevent moisture absorption and staining. Regular sweeping and gentle washing with water help maintain their natural beauty.

For timber decking patios, cleaning with a specialised wood cleaner and reapplying stain or sealant as needed prevents rot, fading, and weather damage. Composite decking requires less maintenance, usually just occasional washing to remove dirt and grime.

No matter the material, keeping patio furniture clean, trimming nearby plants to prevent debris buildup, and checking for drainage issues will help keep the area in top condition year-round. Proper care not only extends the life of a patio but also ensures it remains a welcoming outdoor space.

The cost of building a patio varies depending on size, materials, design complexity, and additional features such as roofing, lighting, and built-in seating. On average, a basic patio can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars for a simple concrete slab to tens of thousands for a high-end custom build with premium materials.

Concrete patios are generally the most affordable option, offering durability and a range of customisation choices like stamped or coloured finishes. Paver patios cost more due to the labour-intensive installation process but provide a stylish and long-lasting surface. Natural stone patios tend to be the most expensive, as materials like bluestone and travertine require skilled installation and ongoing maintenance.

Timber decking patios vary in price depending on the type of wood used, with hardwoods like spotted gum or merbau being more expensive than softwood or composite alternatives. Composite decking has a higher upfront cost than timber but requires less maintenance over time, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.

Additional costs may include pergolas, awnings, outdoor heating, built-in fire pits, or landscaping. To get an accurate estimate, it’s best to consult a professional who can assess site conditions and recommend materials and designs that fit within your budget.
