Whether you’re building a new pool or updating an existing space, we’ll deliver a premium quality pool area you’ll love spending time in. We also pour driveways, footpaths and slabs.

Different Elements To A Pool Surrounds

Your pool surround is more than just a concrete edge — it’s the foundation of your outdoor entertaining space. We take a holistic approach, designing surrounds that integrate with your landscape and lifestyle.



Key elements include:

  • Non-slip surface finishes
  • Drainage channels or falls for water runoff
  • Expansion joints to prevent cracking
  • Step-downs or coping edges
  • Seamless connections to patios or alfresco areas
  • Decorative edging or borders
  • Integration with fencing and landscaping.

The Importance Of Quality Work For Pool Areas

Pool areas are exposed to constant moisture, UV rays and high foot traffic — which is why quality workmanship is essential. Poorly poured or finished concrete can lead to cracking, water damage, slippery surfaces and uneven levels.


At J Willow Concrete, we take every step to ensure your pool surround is properly graded for drainage, reinforced to prevent movement and finished with slip-resistant textures. Our goal is to create a durable, long-lasting surface that looks good even in wet and high-use environments.

Pool Surrounds FAQs

  • Q: What’s the best finish for a concrete pool surround?

    Exposed aggregate and honed concrete are popular for pool areas because they’re both stylish and slip-resistant. Coloured concrete is also a great option. We’ll help you choose the finish that suits your space, safety needs, and budget.

  • Q: How long before I can use my new pool surround?

    You can usually walk on your new concrete surface after 24–48 hours, but we recommend waiting 7 days before placing heavy furniture or using it heavily. Full curing takes up to 28 days for maximum durability.

  • Q: Does my pool surround need to be sealed?

    Yes, sealing protects the concrete from water, chlorine, stains and fading. It also enhances the colour and finish. We always recommend sealing and can apply a high-quality sealer after the concrete has cured.

  • Q: Can you match the pool surround to my existing concrete?

    In many cases, yes. We can closely match colours, finishes, and textures to blend with your existing surfaces. While exact matching depends on age and weathering, we aim for a seamless look that complements your outdoor area.
