What Are Pool Surroundings?

Pool surroundings encompass all the surfaces and features that border your swimming pool, creating a cohesive space that’s both functional and visually appealing. This includes capping stones (the edge material covering your pool wall), surrounding pavement or decking, drainage systems, and various landscaping elements that complete the design.

Sydney’s diverse climate demands properly designed and constructed pool surrounds. Selecting appropriate materials and implementing correct installation techniques ensures your pool area maintains its beauty and functionality through hot summers and rainy winters alike.

Having worked with countless swimming pool owners across Sydney as experienced stonemasons, we understand the profound difference quality pool surroundings make. They transform an ordinary backyard pool into a genuine outdoor oasis—a place for relaxation, entertainment, and creating lasting memories with family and friends.

Common Pool Surround Damage We Can Repair

Even well-constructed pool surroundings eventually show signs of wear. Addressing these issues promptly prevents more serious problems from developing. Stone Protection specializes in repairing:

  • Cracked or loose pavers around the pool
  • Damaged pool coping stones
  • Stained or discoloured surfaces
  • Slippery areas creating safety hazards
  • Deteriorating grout or joint materials
  • Drainage issues leading to water pooling
  • Surface erosion and texture loss
  • Sinking or uneven paving

Sydney’s climate presents unique challenges for pool surroundings. Hot summers cause materials to expand, while winter rains potentially lead to water damage and deterioration.

Years of hands-on experience have taught us exactly how these conditions affect different materials. This knowledge has allowed us to develop specialized techniques to restore and protect pool surrounds throughout the region.

Who Needs Pool Surrounding Services?

Our pool surrounding services are ideal for:

  • New pool builders looking to complete their projects with premium surrounds
  • Existing pool owners wanting to renovate outdated or damaged pool areas
  • Homeowners preparing to sell and looking to enhance property value
  • Property investors seeking to improve rental appeal
  • Hotels, resorts, and commercial venues needing durable, low-maintenance pool areas

The best time to consider pool surround work is during initial pool construction, when renovating an existing pool, or when you notice signs of damage or wear.

In Sydney, many homeowners also choose to upgrade their pool surroundings before summer to ensure their outdoor spaces are ready for the swimming season.

Surfaces We Can Repair and Enhance

Our expertise covers a wide range of pool surround surfaces, including:

Concrete Pool Surrounds

Plain concrete can be transformed through various techniques to create attractive, durable pool surrounds. We work with decorative options like exposed aggregate, providing repairs, resurfacing, and sealing services that extend the life of your concrete while enhancing its appearance. Honed concrete has become particularly popular among Sydney homeowners for its contemporary aesthetic and slip-resistant properties.

Stone Pavers and Tiles

Natural stone provides unmatched beauty and exceptional durability for pool surrounds. We work with numerous stone varieties, offering comprehensive repair, cleaning, and sealing services that preserve both appearance and functionality throughout Sydney’s challenging seasons.

Exposed Aggregate Finishes

White exposed aggregate creates bright, textured surfaces that remain cool underfoot even during Sydney’s hottest days. Our specialized techniques for repairing and refreshing exposed aggregate restore its original beauty while maintaining the textural benefits that make it ideal for pool surroundings.

Pebblecrete and Decorative Surfaces

Pebblecrete offers a distinctive textured finish beloved by many Sydney pool owners. Using proven stone maintenance and restoration techniques, we address common pebblecrete issues, including loose stones, discoloration, and surface damage, returning these unique finishes to their original condition.

Stone Pool Surroundings FAQs

Can Stone Protection assist with the site preparation for my residential pool area?

Yes, we can help with site preparation for residential installations. This includes assessing the area, clearing the site, and preparing the foundation necessary for the stone installation.

 

Proper site preparation is critical to ensure the longevity and stability of your stone pool surroundings.

What happens if there are issues after installation?

Should any issues arise following the installation, such as settling or displacement of the stones or premature wear, we first assess the situation to determine the cause. From there, we’ll address the problem based on our warranty terms and the situation’s specifics, prioritising commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

How long does the typical installation process take?

The duration of the installation process can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the project, the complexity of the designs, weather conditions, and the type of stone used.

Generally, a square meter of pool surroundings takes 2 to 8 hours to complete.

What maintenance is required after the stone is installed around my pool?

Post-installation, regular maintenance is crucial to preserve the beauty and function of your stone pool surroundings. We recommend routine cleaning to remove dirt and debris, checking for any movement or cracks in the stones, and resealing the stone every two years, depending on foot traffic and exposure to chemicals and weather.

Our team provides detailed care instructions for the type of stone used in your project.

Are there environment-friendly options for stone pool surroundings?

Stone is a naturally sustainable material, making it a great eco-friendly option for pool surroundings. It does not emit VOCs and can be recycled. We also offer installation practices that minimise environmental impact.

Can I request a custom design for my pool surroundings?

Absolutely. Our team excels at crafting custom designs that reflect our clients’ styles and preferences. We can work with a variety of stone types and installation techniques to create a truly unique pool environment that complements your outdoor space.

How does the two-year sealing warranty differ from the standard?

The standard warranty on our sealing service follows the New South Wales regulations, which provide coverage for up to one year. However, for many projects, given the high quality of our materials and meticulous approach to application, we extend the warranty to two years.

This gives our clients additional peace of mind regarding the durability and longevity of the sealant used in their projects.
