Notes from real Auckland pool and landscape builds: what the ground, the access and the details asked of each job.
From concept render to finished build: how a design becomes a yard
A render isn't just a picture of a nice yard. It's where the layout, the heights and the order of the build get worked out, before anything is dug.
Pool delivery day, hour by hour: what happens when the shell arrives
Delivery day is the shortest part of a pool job and the one everyone remembers. How it runs, from the 7:30 start to the first water in the pool.
Stainless or fibreglass plunge pool? What changes around each one
We don't sell pools. We build around them, and the shell you choose changes the access, the base and the edge. Three jobs, two materials.
Rock, fall and dead ground: putting a pool on an awkward Auckland section
Rock a metre down, several metres of fall, a strip of dead ground behind a failing wall. Three pool jobs and what the ground asked of each.
Tight access: getting a plunge pool into a back yard with 850 mm to work with
Less than 850 mm of access, a 2.2 m ceiling and a concrete fireplace in the way. How a Herne Bay pool job got in, and how the spoil got out.
Decking around a pool: curves, cut lines and what holds them up
A pool deck is judged at the edge. How three decks were cut to three pools, and the framing that keeps each line true.
What makes a plunge pool project cost more, or less, in Auckland
We don't publish prices. We can show you what moves one, using three plunge pool jobs we've built around.
Pool fencing and consents in Auckland: how it worked on three of our jobs
Barriers are the part of a pool people think about last and councils think about first. What the official sources say, and how three of our jobs handled it.
Above ground, partly in or fully in: what decides where a plunge pool sits
Most people assume a pool means a hole. A plunge pool doesn't have to. Three of our jobs, and what put each pool where it is.
