About Riverina Outdoor Living
Local advice. Quality workmanship. Outdoor spaces designed around you.
Riverina Outdoor Living is a locally owned and operated Wagga Wagga business designing and building patios, pergolas, decks, louvre roofs, carports and complete outdoor living areas across the Riverina.
We're not interested in pushing the same solution onto every home.
Our approach starts with understanding your space, what you'd like to change and how you want to use it. From there, we'll help you work through the options and design an outdoor area that makes sense for your home, lifestyle and budget.
Meet Scott
The person you meet is the person who knows your project
Riverina Outdoor Living is led by owner and design consultant Scott Hawkins.
When you contact us about a project, you're not dealing with a salesperson whose job is to sell you the biggest patio they can.
Scott will visit your property, look at the space and talk with you about what you're trying to achieve.
Maybe you already know exactly what you want.
Maybe you know you need more shade but aren't sure whether an insulated patio, flyover roof or louvre system makes sense.
Maybe you've got an awkward backyard and aren't sure what's even possible.
That's where Scott can help.
He'll look at the home, orientation, available space and practical requirements, then talk you through the options that make sense for your property.
We believe good advice comes before the quote
Building an outdoor area can be a significant investment, and there are usually plenty of decisions to make along the way.
Insulated or standard roofing?
Timber or composite decking?
Fixed patio or opening louvre roof?
Blinds, shutters or privacy screens?
Attached or freestanding?
There isn't one answer that's right for every home.
We'll explain the differences, tell you where we think it's worth investing and help you avoid paying for features that aren't going to add much value to the way you use your space.
Our job isn't simply to give you a price.
It's to help you arrive at the right project first.
Designed for the Riverina
Living and building in the Riverina gives you a pretty good understanding of what an outdoor space has to deal with.
Hot summer afternoons. Frosty winter mornings. Strong sun. Changing weather. And homes and blocks that come in every shape, size and era.
We take those conditions into account when designing outdoor areas.
Orientation, shade, airflow, roof height, materials, drainage and natural light can all influence whether an outdoor area simply looks good or genuinely works well.
That's why every project starts with the property itself.
Custom designed for your home
We don't believe your outdoor area should look like it was simply added onto the side of the house.
A good design should consider the existing home and create a natural connection between indoors and out.
Depending on the project, that might mean matching rooflines and colours, creating better access from an existing living area, preserving natural light or designing several elements to work together.
Riverina Outdoor Living can help with:
Patios and pergolas: From practical covered areas to large insulated outdoor entertaining spaces.
Louvre roofs: Adjustable opening roofs that give you greater control over sunlight, shade and ventilation.
Decking: Natural timber and low-maintenance composite decking designed around your home and backyard.
Carports: Custom vehicle protection designed to work practically and complement your property.
Outdoor blinds: Flexible protection from low sun, wind and overlooking.
Privacy screens and shutters: Fixed and adjustable screening to create greater privacy, shade and comfort.
Quality products we trust
The quality of an outdoor area depends on more than the way it looks on the day it's finished.
We work with established building products and systems selected for their performance, finish and suitability for outdoor living.
Depending on your project, these may include products from brands such as:
Lysaght: Australian steel building products with a wide range of roofing profiles and COLORBOND® steel colour options.
Versiclad: Insulated roofing panels that combine roofing, insulation and a finished ceiling in one system.
Eclipse: Opening louvre roof systems designed to provide adjustable control over sunlight, shade and ventilation.
Ekodeck: Low-maintenance composite decking for homeowners who want the look of decking without the regular oiling and staining associated with timber.
We'll recommend products based on the project rather than simply choosing the most expensive option.
We're proud to be a local business and to give back to our community by supporting local sporting teams like the Air Ballers!
