Custom Patio Builders for Homes in Bicton
Bicton is a riverside suburb south-west of the Perth CBD, set within the City of Melville and bordered by the Swan River to the north and Canning Highway to the south. Its hillier streets, limestone-founded older homes and leafy reserves give it a character quite different from the flatter suburbs nearby. If you’re looking for a patio builder Bicton homeowners can rely on, you want a team that understands how these homes sit on their blocks and how to extend them outdoors.
Perth's climate brings hot, sunny summers and cool, wet winters. A well-designed patio gives you shade when the heat arrives and dry cover when the rain sets in, so your outdoor area stays comfortable for much more of the year. For Bicton families who spend weekends at Point Walter or the Bicton Baths, a covered space at home makes a natural place to relax afterwards.
Custom Patio Designs for Homes in Bicton
Homes in Bicton range from character residences on established blocks to modern rebuilds and renovated family homes. Your patio should suit the style of your house and the shape of your yard, whether that means matching a traditional roofline or complementing a contemporary façade. We design each structure around your property, not the other way around.
Many Bicton homeowners are asking for outdoor areas that flow directly from the living room or kitchen. Wide openings, matching paving levels and COLORBOND® colours that echo the home's existing roof and trims all help a patio feel like part of the house. The result is an entertaining space you will use every day, not only on special occasions.
Sloping blocks and river exposure bring their own considerations. Closer to the foreshore, wind and salt-laden air are more noticeable, and on a hillside lot, drainage, footings and the way the structure meets the ground need careful planning. Our team has extensive experience building across the City of Melville and designs for these conditions from the start.
Patio Options Available in Bicton
Great Aussie Patios offers a full range of patio styles to suit the different homes, rooflines and yard layouts found across Bicton.
Gable Patios
Gable patios have a pitched roof that adds height and lets warm air rise away from the seating area. That makes them a comfortable choice for Bicton's larger family homes, and the roofline pairs well with the traditional pitched roofs common in the older streets.
Dome Patios
Dome patios use a gently curved roof to create a soft, distinctive look. They shed rain smoothly and can be a pleasing contrast to the straight lines of a rendered or brick home.
Pyramid Patios
Pyramid patios rise to a central peak with evenly sloping sides. They work well as a standalone entertaining pavilion in a deeper backyard, giving you a defined outdoor room away from the main house.
Hip-End Patios
Hip-end patios slope on several sides, which lets them blend neatly with the hipped rooflines found on many established Bicton homes. They suit larger entertaining areas where a tidy, finished appearance matters.
Flat Patios
Flat patios offer a simple, low-profile cover that sits comfortably against a wide range of homes. They are a practical option where you want reliable weather protection without altering the look of the house.
Raised Flat Patios
Raised flat patios sit higher than a standard flat roof, which helps them clear existing eaves and gives the space beneath a more open feel. The extra height also helps air move through on warm Perth afternoons.
Skillion Patios
Skillion patios have a single sloping roof that suits modern architecture. On a sloping Bicton block, the angled roof can follow the lie of the land while directing rainwater away efficiently.
Custom Patios
Some Bicton properties need a design made for the site, whether that is an irregular block, a split-level yard or a view you want to keep. Our custom patio service starts with your ideas and shapes them into a structure that fits.
Carports
We also design and install carports for Bicton homes. A carport protects your vehicles from summer sun and winter rain, and we match its materials and finish to the rest of your property.

Outdoor Living in Bicton
Bicton offers some of Perth's most enjoyable riverside living. Point Walter Reserve and its sandbar draw walkers and families; the Bicton Baths foreshore is a favourite for a river swim, and local pockets of green such as Fred Jones Reserve and Harry Grose Reserve are close to home. With so much to enjoy nearby, a quality patio turns your own yard into another place worth spending time.
A covered area extends the usable space of your home through every season. You can enjoy a morning coffee in the shade during summer, host a barbecue with friends while a winter shower passes, and keep furniture protected from the sun and rain all year round.
Bicton is a well-established suburb where many owners invest in their homes for the long term. A well-built patio improves how you live day to day, and it adds appeal for future buyers looking for ready-made outdoor entertaining.
Patio Approvals and Local Council Requirements in Bicton
Most patios and carports in Bicton need a Building Permit from the City of Melville before construction starts. Under the City's guidelines, a patio attached to the house generally needs a permit, while a freestanding structure may depend on its size, height and wind region.
An application typically includes structural drawings, a site plan showing setbacks from your boundaries and the supporting forms the City requires. We help you prepare this documentation so your application is clear and complete when it is lodged.
In some cases, a separate planning approval may also be needed, for example where a structure sits closer to a boundary than the standard setbacks allow or where a property has heritage considerations. We will talk through what applies to your home and help guide you through each step of the process.
