If you’re considering adding a pool to your landscaping project, get in touch with your local Zones Landscaping Partner in Wellington to discuss swimming pool designs.

Why choose Zones Landscaping?

Installing a swimming pool on your property requires a lot of planning and consent. What’s more, some swimming pool companies only install pools, so any fencing and landscaping around the pool area needs to be undertaken by other contractors and that requires project management.

At Zones, our Landscaping Partners specialise in keeping all the balls in the air, particularly on projects such as these. Whether it’s liaising with swimming pool contractors or working with landscape designers, your local Zones Landscaping Partner can oversee the entire process, ensuring you get to enjoy a stress-free landscaping experience along the way.

Whatever your landscaping project may be, your local Zones Landscaping Partner can help guide you through the process. It starts with a free, no-obligation consultation, giving you the opportunity to discuss your ideas. Your Landscaping Partner can then prepare your landscaping concept and design, establish timelines, confirm budgets, and manage the entire project, ensuring all contractors are on site when they need to be. Throughout it all, your Landscaping Partner remains your number one point of contact.

What’s more, not only can you rest assured that your Landscaping Partner has the project in hand; you can also be assured that those working on your project will deliver quality results. That’s because, at Zones Landscaping, our Landscaping Partners have a trusted network of professionals and landscaping suppliers who have proved their workmanship before.

What are popular swimming pool ideas in Wellington?

Fibreglass swimming pools are a popular option by many homeowners due in part to the relatively quick install time once council consent has been given. Not only do fibreglass pools require less maintenance, they also come in a range of designs to suit all shapes and sizes of backyards and, once made, can be installed and swum in within a few days. Their flexibility also makes them ideal for earthquake-prone areas.

The only real challenge that a fibreglass pool poses is access. Because they arrive on site in their completed form, transporting them onsite, particularly with Wellington’s geographical constraints, isn’t always easy. 

Popular landscaping around swimming pools includes glass fencing, particularly in gardens that have a view. Making the most of Wellington’s natural vistas can add a resort-like feel to any swimming pool area. Locating your pool near an outdoor entertaining area will also help to extend the living area of your home, adding to resale value and enticing a range of buyers should the time come to sell your property.
