Pool surrounds designed for Dungog blocks and the Mid North Coast climate, using durable, low-maintenance materials around the water.
Landscaping is the part of a pool project that decides how the space feels to be in, and on a Hanleys Creek property it deserves the same planning as the pool shell. The surrounds knit together several elements: coping at the pool edge, paving or decking for the sitting and walking zones, garden beds and structural planting, retaining walls, privacy screening and lighting. Every one of these has to perform in a tough poolside environment, where surfaces meet splash-out, sunscreen, reflected glare and the full strength of the Mid North Coast climate. For that reason we specify slip-resistant, colour-stable pavers, hardy and salt-tolerant plants, and edging that is safe on wet feet. Plant choice is deliberate around the water; species that hold their leaves and resist drought keep maintenance low and stop debris fouling the filtration, so structured greenery like grasses, succulents and screening hedges tends to suit Dungog yards better than messy shade trees. Where a Hanleys Creek block falls away, retaining and terracing are the backbone of the Pool Landscaping & Surrounds, turning awkward slope into flat, usable terrace and giving the pool a proper setting. Privacy screens, pergolas and shade structures extend how the area can be used, and a considered lighting layout brings it alive at night while making steps and edges safer. The Pool Landscaping & Surrounds can run as part of a new pool build, planned around the construction and access, or stand alone as an upgrade to an existing pool. Done well, it leaves a Hanleys Creek home with a unified outdoor space where pool, paving and garden feel like one resolved design rather than a collection of separate jobs.
