Swimming Pool Paving Service | Transform Your Poolside Experience

The Importance of Professional Installation

Swimming pool paving requires specialised knowledge that extends beyond standard landscape installation techniques. Our approach prioritises:

– Proper drainage engineering to prevent water pooling and structural damage

– Precise levelling for safety and visual appeal

– Expert substrate preparation to prevent future shifting or cracking

– Climate-appropriate sealing to protect against UV damage and water penetration

As a family business with over 20 years of experience, our techniques have been refined across generations. Cameron, who learned directly from his father Neil, brings both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary installation methods to every project.

Comprehensive Solutions Beyond Installation

Our expertise extends beyond new installations to address common issues that develop over time:

Pool paver repair – We specialise in restoring damaged or deteriorating surfaces without necessarily replacing the entire surround. Our repair services address:

– Cracked or loose pavers

– Sinking or uneven sections

– Deteriorating grout lines

– Efflorescence (white mineral deposits)

– Water damage to substrate materials

For older aquatic areas with extensively damaged surrounds, our comprehensive renovation services can completely transform your outdoor space without the expense of full replacement. We carefully integrate new materials with existing structures to create a seamless, updated appearance.

The Bluegum Installation Process

Our meticulous approach begins with a thorough consultation to understand your design preferences and practical requirements. Following this assessment, we develop a detailed proposal outlining:

1. Recommended materials based on your aesthetic preferences and practical needs

2. Precise measurements and layout designs

3. Transparent pricing with no hidden costs

4. Realistic timelines that minimise disruption to your property

The installation follows a carefully sequenced process:

– Thorough preparation of the substrate to ensure structural integrity

– Precision cutting and placement for perfect alignment

– Quality grouting with materials resistant to chemical damage

– Application of specialised sealants for long-term protection

– Final inspection and clean-up to ensure impeccable results

Every project is completed by our own team—never subcontracted—ensuring consistent quality throughout.

Coping: The Essential Finishing Touch

Pool pavers and coping work in tandem to create a cohesive, safe surround. Coping refers to the specialised edge treatment that caps the perimeter, creating the transition between the shell and surrounding paved areas.

Beyond aesthetics, quality coping serves several crucial functions:

– Provides a comfortable, non-slip surface for entry and exit

– Protects the shell from water damage

– Creates a clean, finished edge that elevates the entire appearance

– Incorporates safety features like rounded edges for family-friendly environments

We offer various styles including bullnose, square edge, and rounded designs, available in materials that either match or contrast with your primary paving selection.

Maintaining Your Investment

Proper maintenance ensures your surrounds retain their beauty and functionality for decades. Our completion process includes detailed care instructions specific to your selected materials.

General maintenance typically involves:

– Regular cleaning with appropriate non-acidic solutions

– Periodic resealing according to material requirements

– Prompt attention to minor issues before they require major repairs

– Seasonal inspections to identify potential problems

For clients seeking worry-free maintenance, our optional care programs provide scheduled professional cleaning and assessment services to keep your surrounds in peak condition year-round.
