Shell Construction
We build the pool shell using proven techniques, then allow it time to cure into a strong, long-lasting structure.

But they typically start out anywhere from $40,000 to well over $100,000. For a personalised quote tailored to your needs, feel free to contact us.
What maintenance is required for a concrete pool?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning, checking filtration, and balancing water chemistry. We can guide you on maintenance routines.
Can I customise my pool design?
Absolutely! We work with you to create a pool that fits your vision and your home, including custom shapes, finishes, and features like lighting or waterfalls. If you have something in mind, we’d love to discuss your ideas and work out the best way to achieve them.
What materials do you use for pool construction?
We use high-quality concrete and materials designed for durability, safety, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring your pool lasts for decades.
Do you offer landscaping services with pool construction?
Yes, we provide complete landscaping and pool building solutions, including decking, fencing, plants and outdoor features.

Some of the safety features we incorporate include non-slip surfaces, pool fences, and compliant drain covers to ensure your pool is safe for all ages.

After pool construction is complete, it typically takes a few days for the pool to be filled, treated, and ready for use.
What warranties do you offer?
We offer warranties on both the structure and equipment, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
Can you help with pool renovations or upgrades?
Yes, we offer renovation services for existing pools, including upgrades to finishes, filtration systems, and adding modern features.
What are the most popular pool sizes, and how do I know where it should go on my block?
Choosing the right pool size for your property will depend on a few factors: how much of your yard you want to allocate for the pool, your budget, and any specific site conditions like the position of water or sewer mains, nearby trees, or access to other parts of the block.
Here are some typical sizes for different types of pools:
- Plunge pools: 5×3 metres, 6×4 metres, 7×3 metres
- Family pools: 7×3 metres, 8×4 metres, 9×4 metres
- Lap pools: 9×2.5 metres, 10×3 metres, 15×3 metres
Your decision should also take into account any landscaping plans and how the pool will integrate into the overall outdoor space.
I have a small backyard with limited space. Can I still get a pool?
Yes, even if you don’t have much space, it’s still possible to get a pool. We specialise in building pools in tight or challenging spaces, however its important to keep in mind that difficult sites can sometimes lead to higher costs.
The best way to find out what’s possible with your block is to book a site assessment with our team. We can assess your space, discuss design options, and provide advice before you decide to proceed.
What are the main stages of pool construction?
There are three key stages in building a pool:
Pre-construction:
This includes the site assessment, design, and proposal, as well as engineering work.
Council approval:
Most pools require council approval, which we can manage for you.
Construction and finishing:
This covers everything from excavation to building the pool, installing fencing, and completing any landscaping.
Why should I choose a concrete pool?
While concrete pools can be more expensive upfront than fibreglass pools, they offer several key advantages:
- Flexibility: Concrete pools can be built to any shape, size, or depth, so they are tailored to your specific space and needs. They can be constructed both in-ground and out-of-ground.
- Customisation: Concrete allows for a range of features like steps, ledges, wet edges, or unique design elements such as beach entrances.
- Finishes: With concrete pools, you have a wide variety of finishing options, including tiles, pebbles, quartz, and coloured render, giving your pool a more refined look.
Durability: Concrete pools are long-lasting, resistant to scratches and stains, and with correct maintenance, can last for 50 years or more.
What is pool coping?
Coping refers to the edge or flat walking surface around your pool. Natural stone, such as sandstone, limestone, or travertine, is a popular choice due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. These materials tend to last longer and resist movement better than some man-made alternatives.
Tip: If you’re using sandstone around a saltwater pool, we suggest sealing it to prevent salt damage over time.
How do I choose the best location for my pool?
The ideal location for your pool will depend on several factors, including sun exposure for natural heating of the water, shelter from wind, maximum privacy, and of course how it fits within your overall backyard layout. Allowing for safe supervision of children is another top concern for many families, as well as avoiding challenging conditions such as hitting rock during excavation, sewer and water lines.
Our team can provide recommendations based on your block’s characteristics during the planning phase.
Can I add a spa to my pool design?
Yes! A spa can be integrated into your pool design or installed as a separate feature. Spas are a great addition for year-round use. We can discuss the different options for heating, jet systems, and positioning to create a seamless and functional pool-spa combination.
What is the difference between saltwater and chlorine pools?
Saltwater pools use a salt chlorinator to generate chlorine, which means less handling of chemicals and softer water that’s gentler on the skin and eyes. Chlorine pools, on the other hand, require manual addition of chlorine.
Both options keep the water clean and safe, but many people prefer the low-maintenance appeal of saltwater systems. We can advise on the best option for your lifestyle.
Can I install a pool if I have a sloping block?
Yes, a pool can be installed on a sloping block, though it may require additional engineering solutions such as retaining walls or terracing. Infinity edge pools are a popular choice for sloping sites, allowing you to make the most of any views. We have experience in designing pools for challenging landscapes and can create a plan that works with your block’s natural contours.
What’s the best way to heat my pool?
There are a few options for heating your pool, including solar heating, electric heat pumps, and gas heaters. Solar heating is eco-friendly and cost-effective in the long term, while heat pumps and gas heaters provide faster heating, especially in cooler months.
What features can I add to customise my pool?
There are plenty of great features you can add to enhance your pool, including waterfalls, lighting, integrated spas, swim jets, and in-floor cleaning systems. You can also choose custom finishes like mosaic tiles or pebbles, as well as landscaping features such as decking or fire pits. These options allow you to create a pool that not only looks great but turns your backyard into a practical outdoor space that enhances your lifestyle.

“We really love the transformation of our backyard. Adam was the only person willing to take on our difficult project. It was difficult because of the enormous retaining wall which needed to be excavated and replaced with our gorgeous new retaining wall! We also had difficult access and they made it work. Our pool has been rejuvenated from a very dated 80s style pool to a terrific modern oasis… Adam and Greg were so available for communication and very easy to deal with. Their whole team were very professional and we would use Lynx again if we had another project.”
- N. Jarrett, Broadbeach Waters
“I worked with LYNX Landscape Design & Construction on a backyard renovation project last year, from design through to construction and final delivery. The entire team was professional, efficient, and detail-oriented throughout the process.
The project manager was particularly impressive, demonstrating strong organisational skills, quick responsiveness, and a high level of responsibility. Communication was clear and timely at every stage. The quality of the work and the final result exceeded my expectations. The finished landscape is both beautiful and highly functional. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend LYNX to anyone looking for a professional and reliable landscape design and construction company.“
