Pool Surrounds & Perimeter Packages in Newcastle
Pool decking, compliant fencing, retaining and landscaping finished as one coordinated package.
The pool shell is one trade. Everything around it, the decking, the fence, the retaining, the paving and the drainage, is where most of the cost and all of the compliance sits. We take on that perimeter work as a single package so you are not coordinating four contractors and hoping the fence certifier signs off at the end.
What this covers
- Pool decking in timber and composite
- Compliant pool fencing and gates to AS 1926
- Retaining walls and level changes
- Paving, coping and pool surrounds
- Drainage and stormwater around the pool zone
- Screening, privacy walls and poolside structures

FAQ
Pool & Perimeter Packages questions
Will the pool fence pass certification?
That is the point of doing it as a package. We build to AS 1926 including the non-climbable zone, gate hardware and gap tolerances, so the certifier signs it off the first time rather than issuing a list.
Can you do the surrounds if someone else builds the pool?
Yes, and it is common. We coordinate with your pool builder around their program so the decking and fencing follow straight on from handover.
