Create the outdoor space you've always wanted
Palmerston North summers are pretty good. Spring and autumn have plenty of decent days too. The question is whether your outdoor space is set up to make the most of them.
A well-designed deck, patio, or outdoor living area adds genuine value to your day-to-day life, as well as real value to your property.
Revive Building design and build outdoor spaces across Palmerston North. We handle everything from a straightforward deck build to a full outdoor renovation — paving, pergolas, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and everything in between.
What We Build - Outdoor Renovation Services
Decks
Timber or composite, ground level or elevated, consented where required and built to last in a NZ climate. We also repair and restore decks that have seen better days.
Patios and outdoor entertaining areas
Concrete, pavers, or natural stone, designed around how you actually use the space.
Pergolas and shade structures
Freestanding or attached, the difference between an outdoor area that gets used year-round and one that only comes out in summer.
Retaining walls
Engineered properly to last time and weather conditions.
Outdoor kitchens
Bench, sink, and BBQ setups that integrate with the rest of the space and handle the weather.

Our Outdoor Renovation Process
Free Site Visit
We come out, walk the section, and get a proper feel for the space — the orientation, what's already there, and what you're actually trying to do with it.
Design and Planning
How do you want to use the space? What materials suit the house and the section? What's going to work in winter, not just summer? We think through the practical questions alongside the aesthetic ones.
Quote
Once the design's locked in, we put together a thorough quote so you know exactly what you're paying for and why. If something unexpected comes up during the build, you'll hear about it before it affects the cost.
The Build
Our team gets to work. We'll keep you updated on progress, and we do a proper walkthrough when the job's done.

Outdoor Renovations FAQ
What is an outdoor renovation?
An outdoor renovation covers any building work that creates or improves usable outdoor living space. In Palmerston North, that typically includes decks, patios, pergolas, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens. A well-designed outdoor renovation extends how you use your home and adds real value to your property.
How much does an outdoor renovation cost in Palmerston North?
Outdoor renovation costs vary considerably depending on the scope. The variables include section size, ground conditions, materials, and how much design and consent work is involved. We’ll come out, look at your section, and give you a realistic figure. Get a free quote today.
Do I need building consent for a deck in NZ?
In New Zealand, decks over 1.5 metres above ground level require a building consent. Decks below that threshold generally don’t, but there are other factors including the structural design and your local council requirements. We’ll confirm what’s needed for your specific project and can advise on the process with Palmerston North City Council.
How long does an outdoor renovation take?
A deck build typically takes 1–3 weeks. A full outdoor renovation with patio, pergola, and landscaping can take 4–8 weeks. If consents are required, factor in additional lead time, usually 2–4 weeks for consent approval before work can begin.
Can you work with a sloping section?
Yes, and a sloping section often creates the opportunity for something more interesting than a flat one. Elevated decks, tiered outdoor areas, and retaining walls can turn a challenging section into a genuinely great outdoor space. We’ve done plenty of them across Palmerston North.
