Designed for the site. Built for the long run.
A pool is only as good as the landscape around it. We coordinate concrete pool construction with specialist trade partners and design the surround as part of the garden, so coping, levels, drainage, planting and screening all resolve together rather than being fitted in afterwards.
What it brings to the project
- Pool and garden designed as one composition
- Levels and drainage resolved before surfaces are laid
- Slip resistance and comfort underfoot considered properly
- Planting and screening that give the pool privacy
Well suited to
- New concrete pools with full surrounds
- Renewing the landscape around an existing pool
- Pool terraces on sloping blocks
- Compact courtyard and plunge pool settings
Materials and landscape elements
Material selection is resolved in context. We consider the home, weather exposure, expected use, maintenance and how each finish will sit beside the planting as the garden matures.
- Bluestone, granite and travertine coping
- Porcelain and natural stone paving
- Hardwood and composite decking
- Screening planting, hedging and privacy structures
How we approach the work
Plan
Position, levels, access, fencing requirements and the relationship to the house are set out first.
Coordinate
Pool construction is sequenced with excavation, services, drainage and the surrounding landscape works.
Finish
Coping, paving or decking, planting, lighting and screening complete the space.
Common questions
Can you landscape around a pool we already have?
Yes. Coping, paving, decking, planting and screening can all be renewed while respecting existing pool structure and safety requirements.
What surface works best around a pool?
It depends on slip resistance, heat underfoot, salt or chlorine exposure and maintenance. We weigh those together before recommending a material.
