Overview
About Swimming Pool Surrounds
A pool surround has to cope with bare feet, standing water and splash-out, which rules out plenty of surfaces that would be fine elsewhere in a garden. We use materials with texture underfoot and lay them so the falls run away from the pool, so water sheds off the edge rather than back into it. Resin bound and textured porcelain both work well here.

The process
How the job runs
- 1
Set out where it should go
We work out where the sun lands in the afternoon, how the patio meets the back door, and what has to be dug out or built up to reach a level surface.
- 2
Dig out and prepare
The area is excavated, a compacted base is laid, and the finished height is set clear of the damp proof course so water can never track back into the wall.
- 3
Lay to a fall
Paving is bedded on full mortar, not on dabs, with a fall running away from the house. Slabs on dabs are the reason patios rock and joints crack.
- 4
Finish and walk it with you
Joints are filled, the edges finished against the lawn or border, and once the surface is washed down we walk the patio with you and go through how to keep the paving and jointing looking good.
The price
Swimming Pool Surrounds costs
No two jobs price the same, and anyone quoting over the phone without seeing it is guessing. These are the things that actually move the number, and the visit to work them out is free.
- The area of the surround and the shape of the pool it follows
- Material choice, and how much texture you want underfoot
- Whether drainage channels are needed or water can shed to a border
- Level changes between the pool, the surround and the garden
Why choose us
Why people call us for this

Private homes only

- 2
The groundwork gets its time
The groundwork gets the time it needs. That is unglamorous, and it is the whole difference between a surface that lasts and one that moves.
- 3
Waste leaves with us
Waste leaves with us, so you are not left disposing of spoil, old slabs or brash.
- 4
One point of contact
You deal with the person doing the work, so nothing gets lost between a salesman and a fitter.
