A good patio area adds value to a property. A usable space outside means you can take advantage of a covered area all year round, protection from the hot sun in summer and there is somewhere dry for the whole family in winter. In most cases it also more than doubles the living area of a house.
And if the patio is covered with polycarbonate sheeting it is a good idea to take advantage of it and grow some plants that require a little more protection. One group of plants that you may not have thought of is succulents. They are normally associated with full sun positions, but there are some varieties that do perform better with a little protection from a roof covering. This is because the foliage does not stay wet during winter and spring; they also look brilliant multi planted in bowls of different sizes. All you need is some premium potting mix and a good selection of plants, colours, shapes and sizes.
Flapjacks Kalanchoe (kalanchoe thrysiflora ‘Flapjacks’) has large red fleshy leaves.
Red Devil Euphorbia (Euphorbia trigona “Red Devil”) is slow growing, making it perfect for pots.
Gasworthia is something a little different and has a gorgeous branching habit.
Ogre Ears (Crassula ovata “Ogre Ears”) has a naturally bushy habit and kids love the leaves.
Firesticks Euphorbia (Euphorbia tirucalli cv. ‘Firesticks’) keeps an unusual, yet brilliant colour all year round.
If you think that you would like to create an amazing out door entertaining area in your backyard the team at Oasis patios in Maddington are there to help no matter if you live in the country or the metro area. They will come out and measure the site, discuss your needs and provide an obligation free quote, but here is the best bit they will deal with your local council which makes your job very easy.
Roofing also varies, you can even get one that is dome shaped, but there are many styles to choose from, in fact 12 different designs that you can view. What really sets Oasis apart from the rest is the quality of the materials that go into a patio, with all beans and trusses engineered and made in their factory. The experienced installers ensure your backyard will be transformed.
The service that Oasis delivers takes the headache out of building a patio. Custom design is their speciality, stand alone gazebos, a cover over a swimming pool or a carport, nothing is too much trouble. So call into their showroom which is located on Alloa Road in Maddington and see how you can transform your backyard with an Oasis patio.
