  • Coping, tiling & natural stone surrounds
  • Glass fencing & integrated equipment
  • Sculptural water features

How we approach it

Renovations that read as new

Our experience with pools lets us transform tired pools into pools that look newly installed - new interiors and tiling, new coping, new surrounds and updated equipment - usually while keeping a sound existing shell. It is often the fastest route to a completely different backyard.

The surround does the heavy lifting

A pool only looks resolved when the landscape around it does. We design coping, paving, level changes, screening and planting together, so the water sits inside a considered garden rather than a fenced-off slab.

One team, from plumbing to glass fencing

Because we hold a wide range of trades in-house, we can take on anything from hydraulics and equipment to stone masonry, waterfall walls and frameless glass fencing - with responsibility for the whole job sitting in one place.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you renovate my existing pool rather than replace it?
In most cases, yes. If the shell is structurally sound we can re-interior and re-tile it, replace coping and surrounds, and update the equipment - which is generally quicker and less disruptive than a full rebuild.
Do you build pools on tight or sloping sites?
Yes - narrow side access and sloping Sydney blocks are common for us. Access, excavation method and any retaining or engineering requirements are assessed before we quote so there are no surprises.
Does the quote include fencing and paving?
We scope it however you prefer. Most clients have us deliver the pool, surrounds, fencing and planting as one contract so there's a single point of accountability.
Do you look after the pool surrounds afterwards?
We offer ongoing maintenance on projects we build, to keep timber, stone and garden work in good condition over time.
