Old paving around a pool being replaced — photos straight from site, in the order they were taken. Follow the full job →
Anti-slip rated or naturally textured surfaces so wet feet don't slip.
Light stones like travertine and limestone stay much cooler than dark stone in summer.
Surrounds graded so splash water and rain drain away rather than into the pool.
Coping that sits flush, overhangs neatly and is bedded to handle people sitting on the edge.
Sealed natural stone or porcelain that stands up to chlorine and salt.
Paving planned around your pool fence and gate so compliance isn't compromised.

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:

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.
Antonio runs a very professional small business. Friendly, punctual and hard working. Built 2 retaining walls and remodelled our driveway paving. Would use Antonio's service again.
Antonio and his colleague did a great job with our backyard brick laying. Easy to deal with, on time and professional.
Antonio just completed some brick paving alongside our front fence. The paving looks fabulous and was completed in 2 days. He was reliable and the work was completed to a high standard.
Antonio cleared out our small backyard, laid some pavers and built a step around our existing deck. He was quick to respond, well priced, and was happy to change and vary the scope of works as needed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Coping is included in pool paving quotes, and we'll talk you through bullnose and square-edge options at the quote.
