Pool Surround Renovation in Progress

Old paving around a pool being replaced — photos straight from site, in the order they were taken. Follow the full job →

Why It Works

What Matters Around a Pool

01

Grip when wet

Anti-slip rated or naturally textured surfaces so wet feet don't slip.

02

Cool underfoot

Light stones like travertine and limestone stay much cooler than dark stone in summer.

03

Falls away from the pool

Surrounds graded so splash water and rain drain away rather than into the pool.

04

Proper coping

Coping that sits flush, overhangs neatly and is bedded to handle people sitting on the edge.

05

Chemical resistance

Sealed natural stone or porcelain that stands up to chlorine and salt.

06

Safety compliance

Paving planned around your pool fence and gate so compliance isn't compromised.

Pricing

Pool Paving Cost in Melbourne

Most pool paving jobs we quote cost $200–$320 per m² supplied and laid. A typical 20m² job — including demolition, base preparation and clean-up — usually lands around $4,000–$6,400.

Pool paving costs more than a standard patio because of coping, cutting around curves and the extra care needed near the pool shell. Where your job lands depends on:

  • Material and copingTravertine, bluestone and bullnosed coping cost more than pavers.
  • Removing old pavingLifting old surrounds carefully without damaging the pool.
  • ShapeCurved and freeform pools need far more cuts than rectangular ones.
  • DrainageGrated channels and falls around the pool.
  • AccessBackyards with no machine access take more labour.

Antonio completed our bluestone paving in Hampton and the result is outstanding. The levels, drainage and finishing details are flawless. Highly recommended for high-end paving.

We had a fairly complicated drainage issue on the site, but Antonio came up with a solution and executed it perfectly. The workmanship was top quality, and there were no unexpected surprises along the way.

Common Questions

Pool Paving — FAQ

Do you use grout or polymeric sand in the joints?

It depends on the job. Stone laid on a mortar bed — crazy paving, and bluestone or travertine around pools and patios — usually gets grouted joints, which are firm and easy to keep clean. Pavers laid on a compacted sand and crushed-rock base, like brick and concrete pavers on driveways and paths, get polymeric sand, which sets firm, stays slightly flexible and helps keep weeds and ants out. We recommend the right one for your area on the site visit.

What is pool paving?

Pool paving is laid to an anti-slip rating around swimming pools, with correctly graded falls so water drains away from the coping edge rather than pooling. Coping (the edge piece overhanging the pool shell) is included as standard.

How much does pool paving cost?

Most pool paving jobs we quote cost $200–$320 per m² supplied and laid, and a typical 20m² surround usually lands around $4,000–$6,400. Every quote is free and confirmed in writing after an on-site measure-up.

What's the best paving around a pool?

For full-sun pools, travertine and limestone are the most popular because they stay cooler underfoot and have good grip. Porcelain is the lowest-maintenance option. Bluestone looks great but gets hot in full sun.

Can you replace old paving around an existing pool?

Yes — see the pool surround renovation above. We protect the pool, carefully remove the old paving, rebuild the base with correct falls and lay new coping and paving.

Is coping included?

Coping is included in pool paving quotes, and we'll talk you through bullnose and square-edge options at the quote.

Do you provide free quotes?

Yes. Call 0406 170 544 or use the form below and Antonio will arrange a free, no-obligation on-site visit.

Are you insured?

Yes — ABN registered (39 104 568 456) with $20M public liability insurance. Certificates are provided with every written quote.
