Pool Design Considerations

The design of your pool and surrounding landscape reflects as much about you as any other part of your home. Great design is equal parts form and function, so it is important to consider not only how you plan to use your pool, but also what design components and features will enhance your swimming experience and set your pool apart.

Personalise your pool surrounds with pavers, decking or concrete.

Pavers are the most common pool coping option due to their durability, low maintenance, stunning appearance and range of colours - providing you with the flexibility to create a space that is truly unique.

Choose from our extensive range of bullnose and dropdown coping tiles and outdoor pavers, or consider a mix of coloured concrete and timber to complete the visual design of your pool and create a cohesive flow between home and landscape.

There are many great reasons to cover your pool:

• First and foremost, pool covers increase the safety of every user accessing the pool area, reducing the risk of accidental drowning

• Not only are they a highly effective way of keeping your pool free from garden debris and bugs, they will reduce cleaning time

• Covering your pool significantly reduces swimming pool heating costs, and in some cases will actually increase the water temperature

• Pool covers conserve water by reducing the amount of evaporation, and ultimately can reduce the pool's chemical consumption by 35%–60%

We offer a range of thermal, bubble or slat covers which can be managed automatically at the push of a button or manually. In-ground roller systems, which can be installed into timber decking or paved areas are a popular option for a more aesthetic way to hide your cover away and out of sight. Depending on budget, we can make the right recommendation based on your needs

The type of water you would like to swim in is one of the most important decisions you will make.

It has a direct effect on your swimming experience and the after-swim ‘feel’.

The system will clean and sanitise your pool water, keeping it free from bacteria, pathogens and parasites.

All our pools can be optioned as freshwater (most popular and great for anyone with skin conditions), saltwater, mineral or chlorine. We can discuss and recommend the best options based on your family needs and budget when we meet.

When it comes to pool features, your imagination is the limit.

Lighting and water features can really transform your pool into a resort, and having the option to dive into your pool at any time of the day or night can add another level of freedom to your outdoor lifestyle. Define your space with perimeter lighting, and guide the way into the depths of your oasis with step lighting.

Enhance the poolside tranquility with the relaxing sound of flowing water from a waterfall, boulder rock, or cascade water feature.

Heating your pool will provide you with a much longer swim season, ultimately adding lifestyle and financial value to your investment. Heat pumps and solar heating provide energy efficient options for all budgets.

Swim jets are a popular way to provide all the benefits of a lap pool in a fraction of the space. Swim jets can be applied to any of our pools and also retrofitted to many existing pools.

Pool features provide the finishing touch to your outdoor sanctuary and will redefine your swimming experience.

Every swimming pool in New Zealand is required to have an adequate barrier in order to prevent unsupervised access by children under five years of age. As a pool owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your pool area is safe and secure.

Fencing isn’t all about safety though and we can advise on pool fencing design options that will not only comply with the rules but enhance the look of your swimming pool area with stylish, durable and low maintenance options.

Better yet, our team have the expertise to install your pool fencing and complete your poolscape - meaning you will not have to organise any other contractors.

Glass pool fencing offers a sophisticated, elegant and unobtrusive look whilst aluminium pool fencing can be a cost-efficient and maintenance-free option. We will discuss your options and preferences based on your property, aesthetic, lifestyle, budget and safety obligations at our initial site visit.

Complete your pool design by incorporating an adjacent or integrated custom spa into your pool area - and truly enjoy the best of both worlds!

The two bodies of water can be separated by a wall, or even as an overflow - or constructed in separate areas so they each have their own unique space.

Or if it’s cold immersion therapy you seek, we can custom design an adjacent ice-bath in order to create your very own outdoor wellness space!
