Built to Handle Splash Zones
A great pool surround should do more than just frame the water; it should handle sun, splash and foot traffic without losing its edge. We build surrounds that are smooth underfoot, easy to maintain and designed to stay cooler for longer in the summer heat. Every job starts with proper preparation and formwork, followed by a strong pour, quality finish and optional sealing for added protection. We’re careful to get the slope and drainage right from the beginning, so water flows where it should, not back toward your house.
You can choose from a range of finishes, including exposed aggregate, coloured concrete and classic plain, to match your pool area and landscaping. It’s all about creating a space that’s practical, polished and ready for daily use.

What’s the best concrete finish for around a pool?
Exposed aggregate is one of the best choices for pool surrounds because of its textured, non-slip surface and ability to handle wet conditions. The small stones embedded in the surface provide traction underfoot while offering a natural, decorative look. Other finishes like broomed concrete or coloured concrete with added texture can also work well, as long as they balance slip resistance with visual appeal. Sealing the concrete is important too — it protects against pool chemicals, water damage and surface wear.
How do I prevent concrete pool surrounds from becoming slippery?
Slip resistance starts with the right finish. Exposed aggregate and broom finishes are both effective at providing traction, even when wet. Avoid smooth or polished finishes around pools, as they can become dangerous. Adding a non-slip additive to the sealer can further improve grip without affecting the appearance. Regular maintenance — like sweeping off algae or debris and resealing as needed — also helps keep the surface safe year-round.
Does pool water damage concrete over time?
Yes, without proper sealing and maintenance, concrete can degrade from constant exposure to water and pool chemicals. Chlorine and salt, in particular, can cause surface erosion or discolouration if left unprotected. Applying a high-quality, water-resistant sealer creates a protective barrier, helping to resist staining, cracking and chemical damage. It also makes cleaning easier and extends the lifespan of the concrete.
