1. You know it’s all about that Base
This rings true for your backyard, a paved base is the perfect foundation for the outdoor furniture and barbeque that will be the focal point of your entertaining area. I’ve picked my favourites from the Euro® Stone, Euro® Classic and Quadro® paving ranges here.

2. Make it then take a seat
One of the biggest problems in Aussie backyards is big outdoor furniture that clutters precious space in the Outdoor Room…Homeowners often buy as if they’re entertaining for 20! Consider creating built in furniture with AB® Courtyard blocks. This will be a welcome addition to accommodate extra family and friends over summer while also being a relaxing spot for you to enjoy all year round!
