Roots were lifting the brick pavers on our patio, making it unsafe in places. These 80 mm pavers were originally laid in 1986 and were still in good condition. My Living Outdoors lifted the pavers, removed the roots, spread new rubble and sand and re-laid the pavers. All the staff involved in the job were helpful, professional and competent.

really appreciated the extra help we got with shifting the large pots off and on the patio and the time spent before the start of the job discussing a plan for storing the pavers, placement of the skip and determining a pathway for the wheelbarrow to the skip that was the best option for the Paver and resulted in minimal impact on our garden and lawn. If we had queries, they were followed up and phone calls were returned promptly. The paving work by Ali was exceptional. It looks the same, but we are very happy with the result, knowing that we do not need to avoid trip hazards.
We recently had a ZipScreen blind installed on our verandah by MyLiving Outdoors and we love it. From start to finish the process was seamless, perfect communication at each step, easy installation and the product itself is beautiful and will allow us to use our verandah year around. We have had an incredible experience with MyLiving Outdoors, we… Read more · 1
have found them to be incredibly supportive, through each step of our project and their service itself has been amazing. We will definitely be using MyLiving Outdoors for any projects in the future and will be recommending them to everyone we know. Thank you MyLiving Outdoors.
I've seen a few people before deciding which Company I was going to use. From the moment Brad sat with me looking at different options I could see that he knew what he was talking about. I did throw a curve ball in to see if he was one of those "over promising salesman" and he passed! He really does know what will be allowed by council and what… Read more · 1
will not be allowed. He will tell you straight away if something will not get approved by council which was what I wanted. I was looking for a verandah/pergola that will keep the UV lights out but the natural light in. That is exactly what I got. He was a little more expensive than some of the other Companies but I felt safe with them knowing that I would get what I pay for. They did not disappoint! They under promised and over delivered and I am one very happy customer! I will absolutely make use of them again! Thank you for a beautiful build and great customer service!

Right from the start everyone was very friendly and helpful. They came out to my home in Paralowie the day I requested and explained everything well, I signed straight away. I recommend MyLiving Outdoors very professional company. The finished veranda is of very high quality. Thank you Show reply
Really happy with the service. From scoping, to quoting of our block retaining. And clear communication when we hit rocks. I'm happy with the outcome. Show reply
What a great experience was had with this company. Very informative of their process and always kept us up to date with the time line. Check, double check, draw up and proceed. All team members that we dealt with were friendly and accomodating. Having already had timber sleepers, finding someone to replace them like for like was not easy. A lot of… Read more · 1
other companies that we asked said they don’t deal with them. MLO were very happy to accommodate us and use them. Would highly recommend this company. As we replaced only some sleepers the rest look shabby so now it will have to be a repeat.
I highly recommend MyLiving Outdoors. Thorough planning session at the start and regular communication regarding timelines and professional result in the end Has added so much value to my home and loving the space Thank you so much Show reply
Great quality work completed by MyLiving Outdoors, simple, easy, friendly service though out the whole process. Show reply
Employed these people for a paving job. We removed all old pavers so they had a clean slate to start. Pavers arrived broken and looked like they were 2nds. Job was not done properly so had to return to fix many times.It was the most stressful time we have ever experienced with trades people.Said they were coming and cancelled last minute. Had to… Read more
go buy extra stuff so the boys would keep going, which they didn't take off bill.Before using this company make sure you have nothing planned for at least 10 months. They told us would be 2 weeks. Started in April 2025 and just finished March 2026. Huge disappointment would not recommend them.

praise for the company. and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for similar construction work.
Follow-up · the materials used were steel framework, corrugated iron sheeting for the roof, and pvc for the downpipes. constructtion time was less than half a day, despite some heavy rain falling during the latter hour of the construction. The crew were great and they cleaned up afterwards.
Even though we were off to a slow start (lost email), once we got going everything from design to implementation went like clockwork. We had no worries as they organised everything from demolition to the necessary paperwork to completion. The… Read more · 1
workmen were friendly & very pleasant to deal with & always left the area clean & tidy at the end of the day. SO refreshing to have such good tradespeople. We are very happy with our new outdoor area which we will be able to use almost all year round.
Follow-up · The project took 3 weeks due to delay in the supply of roofing material from supplier-otherwise I think it would have been complete in 2. The design turned out better than I had envisaged-the Designer really understood what I was trying to achieve and interpreted it extremely well. The structure comes with a 25year guarantee so I thought that to be quite reasonable for timber construction.
Very happy with the start to finish service from Brad,Vicky, & the install team. Great communication throughout the total process & we are very happy with the end result. Show reply
Follow-up · Overall the work standards and the final result was positive,The install team worked clean and cleaned up after they had finished. The total job was completed in just 1 day from delivery to the completed veranda. A couple of small challenges on the day but the guys handled it with speed & knowledge.

In-depth reviews
We recently had the pleasure of working with MyLiving Outdoors after hiring them to build a large carport and from start to finish the experience was outstanding. It all began with Bradley, who came to our house and provided the initial quote. His knowledge was incredibly impressive, and he explained everything clearly while being friendly and… Read more · 1
approachable. Bradley really set the tone for the high level of service we would go on to receive from MyLiving Outdoors.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we unfortunately had to postpone the commencement of our project for at least 6 months, which we communicated to MyLiving Outdoors. They were extremely understanding and accommodating and at no point did they place any pressure on us to proceed before we were ready.
When we were finally able to get the ball rolling again, Vicki kept us informed throughout the scheduling of each stage of the project and the timing was exactly as outlined.
Our carport was then built over 4 days by Trevor and Michel. Their high level of expertise was evident throughout the entire process as they worked efficiently while keeping the site neat and tidy at all times. The workmanship of the final product is truly outstanding — our carport looks even better than we could have ever envisioned and we couldn’t be happier.
Overall, MyLiving Outdoors provided a level of service that is rare to find these days. We cannot recommend them highly enough. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would.
MyLiving Outdoors were very easy to deal with. The initial onsite meeting was informative but not pushing for a sale. The initial drawings was comprehensive and all the costs were explained and itemized. Changes were accommodated without a fuss and the council process was a breeze. We were informed at every stage of assessment. We received a… Read more · 1
phone call saying our job would be early and were advised of a tentative start date.
However, there was no confirmation, so we expected the job to begin then. By 10am, no-one was here and I had to ring to see what was going on. MyLiving Outdoors advised that the carpenter would start 3 days later as he was just finishing another job. We have no issue with that, it just would have been nice to have confirmation before hand so I didn't have to take the morning off work to let them in. So a small but inconvenient logistical error.
Once work began, the work progressed quickly and was finished in 2 and a half weeks. Happy with the overall quality. My Living were proactive in addressing minor touch ups and missing items and the painters were prompt, hard working and of high quality.
I would recommend MyLiving Outdoor as overall were well organized, easy to deal with and we are very satisfied with end result.
Taking the worry out of home improvements! – My Living Outdoors has completed two projects for my wife and me in the last 6 months. Firstly, they arranged and organized for paving to be completed in the rear of our garden, adjoining a garden shed and verandah. More recently, they have completed a magnificent outdoor entertaining area on the back of our house. When we first contacted them,… Read more
their response was prompt and the company rep who came to see us to discuss our needs was refreshingly honest and offered us a very creative solution, which had not been suggested by any other companies that we had approached. My Living Outdoors listened to what we wanted and set about making our dreams come true. Everything was handled by them and regular communication kept us up to date with the process of council approval and other administrative requirements. The original contract stipulated when each step of the project would be completed and when each payment was due. The tradespeople employed by MLO were amazing. They were very good at their job and also very easy to get on with, consulting us as they went and listening to what we wanted. The MLO staff who came regularly to check on the progress of the work were also great listeners and always ready to answer any questions that we had. Office staff were polite and helpful on those occasions when we needed to contact the company. As you can tell, from what I have written, I am amazed at how good this company is and have no hesitation in recommending them to other people who want to add value to their homes as well as enhance the experiences afforded by the construction of sound and attractive additions to the outside areas of their homes. It has been such a relief to have a company that we have not had any worries at any time in the process. Well done, My Living Outdoors!

We used MyLiving Outdoors for a new verandah and paving installation at our property. When it came time for the work, they were quick and efficient with their friendly service and completely transformed our backyard. The team were happy to answer all our questions throughout the process and we would happily recommend and use MLO again. Show reply
We found MyLiving Outdoors to be a good company to complete our project. We added a large verandah to the back of the house, which looks great, and blends well with the colour of the house. The price was good and they took care of all the Council requirements. MyLiving Outdoors staff were friendly, courteous and kept us informed throughout the project. Thank you. Show reply

How disappointed we were. Received the quote, signed the contract, paid the deposit and 18 days later they advised us that the quote was wrong and we had to pay an extra $1400 otherwise they would cancel the contract. Apology meant nothing. Now we start again 3 weeks later

If you are part of a Community Corporation - ensure the project has clear timelines, working days/ hours, the impacts on neighbours and neighbours notified prior to project commencement. As a neighbour I was without my off-street car park for 10 days. Very disappointed there wasn't any communication or negotiations made by the project manager. Hopefully their processes have improved since I shared my concerns.

Bad start, better ending – The replacement pergola was started in September, told it would take 3-4 weeks, with us doing the painting. It took 4months due to the replacement of some defective materials. The wood used as slats on the walls and one of the roof beams had lots of knots and holes on the edges, that looked very ugly. ‘My Outdoor Living’ has sincerely apologised… Read more
for the delays and slow follow up, without making excuses (very refreshing), and has replaced the bad wood.. We’re satisfied with the outcome and are now enjoying our new pergola.

We had our paving done by My Living Outdoors and were very happy with the outcome. They were super helpful in the selection process as we weren't sure what would suit our yard, communication was great during the works and the guys that worked on the paving were kind and did an amazing job. It really makes the space look larger and more luxurious. Definitely recommend. Show reply
This is the 2nd set of outdoor blinds I’ve had ordered and made through MyLiving Outdoors. I wouldn’t use anyone else now. They are the best customer service company I’ve used. I’ve also had landscaping by them and have just ordered a new driveway through them. They are very professional but also very human. Totally recommend. Show reply
