🏊‍♂️ BIG transformations take time… and this one is going to be worth the wait.

Just a few months ago, this was a beautiful large pool, but it was definitely showing its age. While the bones were great, it was time to give the entire space a new lease on life.

Over the past couple of months, we’ve been completely transforming this backyard—from the landscaping and paving right through to every detail surrounding the pool. Now we’ve reached one of the most exciting stages… the internal pool renovation is underway.

In just a couple more weeks we’ll be revealing the finished result, and we can’t wait to show you what this space has become.

Summer fun is made in winter. The work happens now, so our clients can spend summer creating memories with family and friends.

Stay tuned… this before-and-after is going to be one you’ll want to see.

Winter days like this make it hard to complain. ☀️❄️

The boys are hard at work pouring the paving slab around this stunning pool at Martha Cove. It’s the foundation for what’s going to become one incredible outdoor space.

We can’t wait to transform this beautiful home into a spectacular landscape that the owners will enjoy for years to come. Stay tuned—this is going to be a special one!

Clean lines. Deep tones. Timeless design.

This custom concrete pool was designed to create a resort-style feel with a modern edge. The dark internal tiling gives the water incredible depth and reflection, while the crisp granite coping keeps the overall finish elegant and refined.

It’s the small details that elevate a project from standard to standout.

Sandwave Granite — demure, elegant and full of character.

This beautiful creamy-grey granite brings a soft sophistication to the pool surrounds, with subtle dark grey marbled waves that add depth without overpowering the space.

It’s the small details that elevate a project from finished to beautifully designed. Here we’ve incorporated 2 hidden skimmer lids cover so the pool area remains clean, seamless and refined.

We also include an automatic water fill system in all of our pools — something many pool builders charge as an extra. For us, these thoughtful inclusions are part of creating a pool that not only functions beautifully, but looks considered, classy and complete.

Elevated backyard living at its best.

This new concrete pool sits 1.2m out of ground, creating the perfect design solution for a smaller, elevated backyard. By working with the levels instead of against them, the pool becomes a beautiful architectural feature while still leaving space for entertaining, planting and everyday family living.

The raised pool wall, natural stone finishes, timber screening, garden lighting and lush green planting all come together to create a private, resort-style space that feels calm, functional and beautifully finished.

Small backyard? Big potential.

Sometimes it’s the simplest angles that capture the beauty of a project.

The reflection off the water, the warmth of the timber screening, the softness of the planting and the clean lines of the natural stone coping all coming together perfectly.

This space was designed to feel calm, private and connected to nature — creating a resort-style atmosphere right at home. The combination of textures and reflections completely changes throughout the day depending on the light, giving the pool area a different feel from every angle.

Thoughtful landscaping around a pool is what truly brings the entire space to life.
