Concrete Pool Surrounds Melbourne
A concrete pool surround is more than just a border—it’s what makes your pool area safe, functional, and easy to maintain.
At Lux Concrete Co, we install durable concrete pool surrounds across Melbourne, ensuring they stand up to heat, water, and daily wear without cracking or becoming slippery. Whether it’s a new pool build or a renovation, we handle everything from exposed aggregate surrounds to smooth, honed concrete finishes.
Every pool area is different, which is why we offer custom finishes to suit your design. With years of experience working with residential and commercial pools, we know what works. Our goal is simple—concrete surrounds that last, look great, and require minimal upkeep.
Why Choose a Concrete Pool Surround?
Not all pool surrounds are built the same. Some materials fade, crack, or become slippery over time. Concrete is the preferred choice for long-term durability and safety. It provides a solid, non-slip surface that holds up in all weather conditions and requires very little maintenance.
- Strong enough to handle years of water exposure without breaking down
- Customisable with a variety of finishes, colours, and textures
- Slip-resistant, even when wet
- Handles Melbourne’s extreme temperatures without expanding or cracking
- A seamless, modern look that complements any outdoor area
Benefits of Concrete Pool Surrounds
Concrete Pool Surround Finishes
Concrete offers several finish options to match different styles and safety needs. Whether you want a high-end, honed look or something with more grip, we can customise the surface to your preference.
- Exposed aggregate: One of the most popular choices. The mix of small stones provides great traction and a decorative finish.
- Honed concrete: A smooth, polished surface that still has enough texture to prevent slipping.
- Coloured concrete: Integrates pigments for a custom look that blends with your outdoor space.
- Stamped concrete: Mimics the look of stone or pavers without the movement or maintenance issues.
Slip-Resistant & Heat-Resistant Concrete
Concrete also absorbs less heat than other materials like tiles, keeping your poolside area comfortable to walk on during summer. If you’ve ever stepped onto scorching hot pavers, you’ll know how much of a difference this makes.
How Much Does a Concrete Pool Surround Cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the area, the type of concrete finish, and any additional features like pool coping or drainage solutions. Compared to pavers or timber decking, concrete is a cost-effective option that lasts much longer with minimal maintenance.
Cost Factors for Concrete Pool Surrounds
- Size of the pool surround – Larger areas require more materials and labour.
- Finish type – Exposed aggregate and decorative stamped concrete cost more than basic smooth finishes.
- Site preparation – Levelling, reinforcing, and drainage considerations impact the overall cost.
- Sealing and maintenance – Some finishes require additional sealing for extra protection.
Concrete Pool vs. Other Pool Surround Materials
- Concrete vs. Pavers: Concrete won’t shift or become uneven like pavers do over time. It also requires less maintenance.
- Concrete vs. Tiles: Tiles can become slippery and often require replacement due to cracking. Concrete offers better durability and a lower cost per square metre.
- Concrete vs. Timber Decking: Timber needs regular sealing and can be a slipping hazard. Concrete offers a safer and longer-lasting alternative.
Our Concrete Pool Surround Installation Process
Proper installation is key to ensuring a long-lasting, crack-free surface. At Lux Concrete Co, we follow a proven process that guarantees strong, well-finished results.
Preparing the Pool Area
Before pouring the concrete, we prepare the site by:
- Ensuring the ground is level and properly compacted to prevent movement.
- Installing reinforcement mesh to improve strength and durability.
- Setting up the formwork to create clean edges and smooth transitions around the pool.
Pouring & Finishing the Concrete
Once the prep work is complete, we:
- Pour the concrete evenly to avoid weak spots or uneven sections.
- Apply the chosen finish—exposed aggregate, honed, coloured, or stamped.
- Seal the surface to protect against moisture, stains, and wear.
After curing, the result is a solid, seamless pool surround that will last for years without issues.
