ROBINSON LANDSCAPES – Premium Pool Surround Installation – Torquay, Bellbrae & Geelong
Pool Surrounds
Pool surrounds must do more than look good — they must perform under intense and constantly changing conditions. Sun exposure, water, salt, chlorine, foot traffic and ongoing moisture all contribute to wear and deterioration if the wrong materials or installation methods are used. At Robinson Landscapes, we design and construct high-quality pool surrounds throughout Torquay, Bellbrae, Geelong and the Surf Coast, using premium natural stone and outdoor porcelain to deliver safe, durable and visually striking finishes built for coastal living.
A pool is often the centrepiece of an outdoor space, and the surrounding area plays a major role in both appearance and functionality. Poorly installed surrounds can result in uneven surfaces, drainage issues, slippery zones, heat retention problems and long-term structural concerns around the pool shell. Our experience with coastal landscapes ensures that every detail — from fall direction and substrate preparation to material choice and coping alignment — is completed with precision, giving you a surround that performs exceptionally well for years to come.
WHY QUALITY POOL SURROUNDS MATTER
A well-constructed pool surround ensures:
• Slip resistance for safety
• Heat-reflective properties for comfort underfoot
• Correct drainage to avoid pooling or structural compromise
• Long-term stability around the pool shell
• A cohesive connection to the broader landscape
• Enhanced usability for lounging, entertaining and movement
• A visually polished finish that elevates the pool’s presence
Because pool areas are high-use zones, the materials and workmanship must be exceptional. Poolside surfaces endure constant water exposure, sunscreen residue, chemical contact and frequent foot traffic — meaning durability is as important as aesthetics. When installed properly, your pool surround becomes both a functional outdoor floor and a design feature that anchors the entire landscape.
OUR POOL SURROUND SERVICES
STONE & PORCELAIN PAVING
We install premium natural stone and outdoor porcelain chosen specifically for their durability, slip resistance and consistent colour. These materials offer exceptional performance in the Surf Coast climate, maintaining strength and visual appeal under prolonged UV exposure, saltwater and seasonal temperature changes.
POOL COPING INSTALLATION
Coping is the transition edge between the pool shell and the surrounding paving — a critical structural and aesthetic component. Our precision installation ensures smooth lines, level surfaces and secure placement that prevents movement, trip hazards or water infiltration. Proper coping is essential for both safety and longevity.
• Removing old vegetation and organic debris
• Levelling the surface accurately
• Correcting drainage problems to avoid pooling
• Applying nutrient-rich soil blends
• Compacting the base to prevent future sinking
This meticulous preparation ensures a smooth, even foundation for strong turf establishment.
DRAINAGE & WATER MANAGEMENT
Correct fall is essential around pools. We grade all surfaces accurately to direct water away from the pool edge, preventing puddling, slipperiness and long-term structural issues. Our drainage planning ensures the surrounding landscape remains functional and visually seamless.
INTEGRATION WITH LANDSCAPING
Your pool is part of a larger outdoor environment, and the surrounding area must connect naturally with the rest of your landscape design. We integrate paving with planting zones, pathways, retaining walls, seating areas and architectural features to ensure a cohesive, polished result that enhances the entire garden.
