Non-slip surfaces, drop-face copings and salt-resistant materials — built to handle chlorine, coastal air and bare feet, by a qualified bricklayer & landscaper.
A pool surround is a safety feature as much as a design feature. Dan's dual trade background means coping alignment, non-slip surface selection and drainage falls around the pool edge are all built to one standard, by one crew — no gaps between the "pool guy" and the "paving guy."
Pool surrounds take a beating from sun, salt and constant water exposure — every material and detail is chosen to last.
Clean, mitred drop-face coping tiles aligned precisely at every corner for a seamless edge around the pool.
Textured, honed finishes selected for safe underfoot grip when wet — essential around any pool edge.
Dense natural bluestone and limestone chosen specifically for resistance to salt-water systems and chlorine exposure.
Flexible expansion joints installed around the pool shell to absorb ground movement without cracking your surround.
Coping and paving set out to seamlessly integrate with glass pool fencing spigots and posts.
Garden beds, turf and entertaining paving tied into the pool surround for a complete, cohesive outdoor space.
Pool surrounds sit right at the edge of constant water exposure. Falls need to shed splash-out away from the pool, surfaces need real slip resistance, and joints need to flex with ground movement.
Pool surrounds in Victoria should meet a minimum P4 or P5 pendulum slip-resistance rating for wet-area safety. We select textured, honed natural stone finishes that meet this standard while still looking clean and contemporary underfoot.
Cracking near pool coping is usually caused by missing expansion joints where the pool shell and surrounding paving meet, allowing normal ground and shell movement to transfer stress into the surface. We install flexible expansion jointing around every pool shell as standard.
