Not sure which paving suits your terrace?
Send photos of the area and tell us how the sun falls on it. Surface temperature matters more than colour once you walk on it barefoot.
How It Works
How an outdoor area comes together
Everything outdoors starts with water: where it goes when it rains.
Levels and drainage
We check the falls across the plot and where water runs today. Paving laid without solving this looks fine for one winter and fails in the second.
Base and preparation
Existing slab checked or a new base laid. This is invisible in photographs and is exactly what decides whether the terrace lasts.
Paving and edges
Porcelain, natural stone or composite laid to the agreed pattern, with the edges and transitions to the pool coping resolved properly.
Shade, lighting, planting
Pergola or awning, outdoor sockets and lighting, irrigation and planting — the parts that turn a paved area into somewhere you actually sit.
For Overseas Owners
Build the terrace while the property is empty
Outdoor work suits absent owners particularly well — nothing inside is disturbed, and you approve the paving sample by photo before it is laid.

Terraces & Outdoor Areas FAQ
Practical answers to help you decide the next step.
Can the garden be designed for low maintenance?
Yes. Plant selection, irrigation, surface coverage and access can be planned around realistic maintenance needs.
Can outdoor work be combined with a pool?
Yes. It is often better to coordinate levels, drainage, conduits and finishes as one scope.
Can the terrace be built while nobody is at the property?
Yes, outdoor work suits remote owners particularly well — nothing inside is disturbed. You get weekly photos and approve the paving sample before it is laid.
What drives the price of a terrace per m²?
The paving material and what is underneath. Laying onto an existing sound slab is straightforward; a new base, levels or drainage changes the figure more than the choice of tile does.
Do you build terraces around existing pools?
Regularly — it is one of our most common jobs across Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa. Working around a finished pool needs care with levels and drainage so water runs away from the coping, not into it.
Which paving works best in this climate?
The two things that matter here are surface temperature and slip resistance when wet. Light-coloured porcelain and modern non-slip finishes stay usable barefoot in August, where dark natural stone often does not. Around pools, the slip rating matters more than the look.
Do I need permission to build a terrace or pergola?
It depends on whether the structure is fixed, how large it is and what your urbanisation rules say. Freestanding furniture and shade sails are usually straightforward; fixed roofed structures normally are not. We check this before design, and your architect or gestor confirms the filing route.
How do you stop water sitting on the terrace?
With falls and drainage designed before the paving goes down, not corrected afterwards. Most terrace problems we are called to fix are drainage that was never planned — water ends up against the house wall, which is exactly where you do not want it.
Can the terrace be built at the same time as the pool?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper and cleaner that way. Building them together means one excavation phase, levels that match at the pool edge, and services run once rather than twice.
