Around the pool
Pool landscaping brings several trades together into one finished space.
- Stone paving and coping around the pool
- Glass pool fencing and screening
- Planted beds, lawn and stepping stones
- Decks, shelters and fire-pit areas near the pool
- Renewal of old or broken pool paving
Surfaces for wet feet
Paving around a pool should be slip resistant, comfortable underfoot in summer and able to handle pool water and chemicals. Falls are set to drain water away from the pool and the house.
Planting and safety
Plants near a pool are best chosen to drop little litter into the water and kept clear of fencing so they cannot be used to climb. Pool barriers in Victoria must meet safety standards and be registered with your local council, so fencing is planned with compliance in mind.
