Work across the Central Coast.

Pool surround and glass barrier built together.

Pool Surrounds

Glass-Fenced Pool Surround

Light stone paving laid around a fibreglass shell, with frameless glass fencing set into the surround rather than bolted on afterwards. Doing the paving and the fencing as one job means the spigot positions are planned into the paving layout, so fixings land in whole pavers instead of cuts and the glass line stays parallel to the pool edge. The pale stone was chosen partly because it stays cooler underfoot than a dark surface in full sun.

Pool Surrounds

Granite Pool Deck

Granite paving around a dark-tiled plunge pool. Granite is dense, which is why it holds up well against salt and pool chemistry with very little maintenance, and a flamed finish gives it grip underfoot without being harsh. Against dark tiling the paving does most of the visual work, so the joints and the cut around the coping are what the eye lands on.

Stone Cladding

Retaining wall built as a raised planter.

Retaining Walls

Sandstone Garden Wall

Sandstone retaining wall doing double duty as a raised garden bed. Building the two together is more efficient than adding a bed against a finished wall, because the drainage behind the wall and the soil profile in the bed can be resolved at the same time — bed soil has to hold water while the wall behind it has to shed it, and that only works if both are built in one go.

Colorbond boundary fencing set before the paving.

Fencing

Colorbond Pool Fencing

Colorbond fencing alongside new pool paving and a garden bed. Colorbond gives solid privacy at the best value of the fencing options, and on a pool boundary it still has to meet the barrier requirements covering height, gaps and climbable zones. Post footings were set before the paving went down, so the fixings are in solid ground rather than drilled through a finished surface.

Native planting with a set-stride stepping path.

Gardens

Garden Pathway & Steps

Stepping-stone path through native planting, leading to a paved entertaining area. The planting is coastal-tolerant, which on sandy Central Coast ground means it establishes with far less intervention than a nursery palette would. Stone spacing was set to a natural stride rather than an even measurement, and bed levels fall away from the paving so water does not sit where the two meet.
