A terrace starts with an examination of what is in place. The choice of planks or slabs goes with thinking about the base, the levels and the use of the space. Here is the useful information to present your project and prepare a visit in Geneva.

Explain how you will use the space

You may be planning a table, a passage to the garden or an extension of your living area. Describe the circulation you want to keep and the elements to integrate. Specify whether the terrace is exposed to the sun, often shaded or surrounded by plants.

This information helps compare coverings by their look, upkeep and the conditions of the place. A wooden terrace, a composite terrace and paving are chosen taking their everyday use into account.

Show the base and the joins

Say whether the future terrace will sit on ground, a slab or an existing covering. Point out any areas that have settled, cracks and loose elements. Prepare views of the thresholds, steps and joins with the paths for the first discussion.

The height available at the doors is studied with the planned installation system. Levels and water drainage are checked on site. It is wiser to examine them before ordering the covering.

Tell us how water behaves

After rain, observe where water stays and the route it takes. Mention the gratings, downpipes and inspection chambers to keep accessible. These observations help prepare the visit, without replacing an examination of the ground and the existing structures.

Planning access to the worksite

Transporting materials and removing the old covering depend on access to your outdoor space. Specify whether access is through the garden, a gate or the inside of the home. Mention the possible parking areas and the landscaping to protect.

If other work is planned, such as a fence, a low wall or work on an access, present these jobs too. Coordinating them can affect how the worksite runs. See our outdoor landscaping and earthworks in Geneva services.
