Pool surrounds designed for Bellingen blocks and the New England and North West climate, using durable, low-maintenance materials around the water.
The area around a pool does as much for daily use as the water itself, and thoughtful landscaping is what turns a bare Dorrigo North backyard into a place the family actually lives in. Pool Landscaping & Surrounds covers the hard and soft elements that frame the pool: coping that caps the edge safely, paving or decking for the lounging zone, garden beds and plantings, retaining where the ground falls away, privacy screening and outdoor lighting. Material selection matters more poolside than almost anywhere else on a Bellingen property, because surfaces cope with wet feet, chlorinated splash-out, reflected heat and full New England and North West sun. We lean toward slip-resistant pavers, salt-tolerant plants and finishes that hold their colour rather than fade or grow slippery. Planting is chosen to soften the edges without dropping heavy leaf litter into the water, so palms, grasses, succulents and clipped hedging tend to do better than messy deciduous trees near the pool. On sloping Dorrigo North sites, retaining walls and terracing create usable flat space and frame the pool as a feature rather than a hole in the yard. Lighting extends the area into the evening and lifts the whole scene, while screens and pergolas add privacy and shade. The Pool Landscaping & Surrounds can be delivered alongside a new pool build, so excavation spoil and access are planned together, or as a standalone upgrade to lift an existing Dorrigo North pool. Either way the aim is a single, considered outdoor room where the pool, the paving and the planting all read as one cohesive design rather than a series of afterthoughts added piecemeal over the years.
