1. Who is Patioland?
Patioland is a family owned & operated business who has been located in Hornsby & constructing in Sydney’s northern suburbs for over 25 years.
Originally a franchise in the early 1980’s with numerous locations across Sydney, the Apostolatos family joined in 1987. Not long after, the franchisee group has disbanded with the family purchasing the business and name and as they say the rest is history.

3. Can you assist with local council & relevant statutory approvals?

Dealing with local councils can at times be frustrating and very confusing. We are familiar and work closely with all councils within our area of service so we can take this worry off your hands.

5. How long does the process take?
There is no set timeframe for the process, especially if local council approvals are required. However we generally advise that this process can take anywhere from three weeks to three months, depending on the individual council.
Once the approvals have been received your work can then be inserted into our roster which on average sees commencement within six weeks.
Naturally this is subject to weather conditions & throughout this process we will keep you updated of progress.
6. Can you work in with other trades also working on my home?
Yes
This happens quite often & we are practised to ensure smooth operations. The key is frequent communication with all parties involved.

It is great for you to be home when we first commence so we can introduce you to our team, but generally we only need access to the site where we are constructing and to power.
