Pool surrounds designed for Clarence Valley blocks and the New England and North West climate, using durable, low-maintenance materials around the water.
Good pool landscaping is what makes a Shannondale pool feel like a destination instead of a utility, and it is best planned as one connected scheme rather than piece by piece. The surrounds bring together paving, decking, coping, garden beds, retaining, screening and lighting, all working to a single look that suits the home and the Clarence Valley block. Because everything sits next to water, durability and safety drive the choices. Paving needs a slip-resistant surface that stays comfortable underfoot in the New England and North West heat, coping should be smooth and rounded at the edge, and any timber has to be a species or composite that handles constant moisture. Planting is selected for the conditions and the upkeep: hardy, splash-tolerant species that frame the pool and add greenery without dumping leaves and seed pods into the skimmer. We also use planting and screens to manage privacy and wind, which can make a real difference to how often a Shannondale pool gets used. On blocks that slope, retaining and terracing are central to the Pool Landscaping & Surrounds, holding back the ground and carving out the level entertaining areas that make a pool worth having. Lighting is the detail that pulls it together after dark, with low, warm fittings around steps, beds and the waterline for both ambience and safety. The Pool Landscaping & Surrounds works whether it forms part of a new build, where it is sequenced with the construction, or as a later improvement to an established Clarence Valley pool. The end result is a coherent, low-maintenance outdoor area that lifts the value and enjoyment of the whole Shannondale property.
