The Challenges and Opportunities

Assessing Terrain: A Foundation for Success
At Environ Pools, we understand the complexities and difficulties of building on a steep slope, which is why we always make sure we know what we are dealing with, to minimise any nasty surprises. As a start, we consider;

Geological Survey: Conducting thorough geological assessments to understand the soil composition and bedrock characteristics.
Slope Analysis: Evaluating the degree and nature of the slope to determine the best approach for construction and design.
Site Accessibility: Considering access for construction materials and equipment, ensuring a smooth and feasible building process.

Customised Design: Harmonising with Nature

Building a pool on a steep site works best when you work with nature and not against it. Which is why, at Environ Pools, we design pools to work in harmony with your site.

Leveraging Topography: Utilising the site’s natural topography to inspire unique pool designs that complement the landscape.
View Optimisation: Designing pools that maximise the scenic vistas available from steep sites, and turning your pool area into a visual retreat.
Space Utilisation: Ingeniously using available space, ensuring that the pool area is functional, beautiful, and harmonious with its surroundings.

Engineering Solutions: Building with Confidence

As Brisbane’s specialists in building pools on steep sites, we ensure that all engineering aspects are met so that you will have an amazing, worry-free pool experience.

Structural Stability: Employing advanced engineering methods such as retaining walls and reinforced foundations to ensure the pool’s stability and safety.
Innovative Drainage Solutions: Implementing effective water management and drainage systems to handle the unique demands of steep landscapes.

Expertise and Precision in Every Step

At Environ Pools, we have years of experience building pools in Brisbane’s steep backyards. Our process ensures that your pool is not only structurally the best it can be but perfectly complements your backyard and home so that in the end, you are glad that you don’t have a boring old flat site.

1. Site Evaluation: Laying the Groundwork for Excellence

Topographical Analysis: We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the land’s topography, understanding every nuance of the slope and its implications for pool construction.
Soil Assessment: Our team examines the soil composition to determine the best construction techniques and materials to be used, ensuring stability and suitability.
Orientation and Exposure: We consider the pool’s orientation relative to the sun, wind, and surrounding landscape to optimise comfort and aesthetics.

2. Design Adaptation: Melding Art with Environment

Harmonising with Nature: Our designs are crafted to embrace the site’s natural contours, creating a pool that looks like it has always belonged there.
Maximising Views: We strategically design pools to capitalise on the stunning views often afforded by steep sites, enhancing the overall swimming experience.
Aesthetic Integration: Our pools are not only functional but also serve as artistic statements, integrating features such as infinity edges and glass walls that complement the site’s characteristics.

3. Structural Integrity: Building with Safety and Longevity in Mind

Robust Foundations: We employ advanced engineering techniques, such as reinforced retaining walls and piling, to ensure the pool’s foundation is secure and stable.
Durable Materials: The selection of materials is key in steep site construction. We use high-quality, durable materials that can withstand the unique stresses of a sloped site.
Water Management: Effective drainage systems are crucial in steep terrain. Our team designs comprehensive water management solutions to prevent erosion and maintain structural integrity.

Harnessing the Unique Vistas of Brisbane’s Steep Sites

At Environ Pools, we view the challenges of steep site pool construction not as obstacles but as opportunities for crafting truly spectacular aquatic environments. Our innovative approach and creative designs are tailored to maximise the potential of Brisbane’s unique sloping terrains.

Infinity Edge Pools: These are a natural choice for steep sites where the pool’s edge visually merges with the horizon. The result is a stunning, seamless vista that makes your pool appear as if it’s floating in the landscape, offering an unmatched visual experience.
Terraced Landscaping: We adeptly use the natural gradient of your land to introduce terraced levels in the design. This approach allows for a multi-dimensional aesthetic that is both functional and visually appealing, providing distinct areas for relaxation and enjoyment.
Elevated Pool Decks: By constructing elevated decks, we ensure that your pool area is not just a place for swimming but a vantage point to enjoy the breathtaking views that your property offers. These elevated decks can become perfect spots for lounging, dining, or entertaining, thereby maximising the usable space of your steep site.

Innovative Design Features for Steep Sites

Custom Features to Enhance Your Pool

Waterfalls and Cascades: Utilising the natural slope of your site, we incorporate water features such as waterfalls and cascades. These features add a dynamic element to your pool, creating a serene atmosphere while also serving as a visual centrepiece.
Cantilevered Designs: For a truly dramatic effect, cantilevered pool designs extend over the edge of the slope. This architectural feat not only adds an element of excitement to your pool but also enhances the overall aesthetics of your property.
Integrated Retaining Walls: In steep terrain, retaining walls are essential for structural stability. However, at Environ Pools, we go beyond mere functionality. Our retaining walls are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, often incorporating elements such as built-in seating or garden beds, thereby enhancing the overall style and utility of your pool area

Embrace the Natural Contours: Every design decision is made to ensure that your pool complements the unique characteristics of your site.
Create Multi-Functional Spaces: We aim to design pools that serve multiple purposes – from a tranquil retreat to an entertainer’s paradise.
Ensure Longevity and Safety: Using the best materials and construction techniques, we ensure that your pool is not only beautiful but also built to last.

We have built a pool with Environ 2 times now.

Each time they have delivered a high quality finish in a highly professional manner. Environ and their trades were prompt and easy to deal with.

Our finished pool looks beautiful and the colour of the water is magnificent. It is where we will be spending all of this coming summer.

All the tradies worked as a team effectively and responsibly. The advice and response that I received at each stage is adequate and timely.

The team communicates clearly especially the manager Mark and operational officer Jenessa.

Pool shop owner Tim is also very helpful and look forward to using their services going forward.

“You built this for us four years ago and we still just love it.”

Just an after note on our pool. You built this for us four years ago and we still just love it. You built exactly what we wanted. We have just sold the house and will miss the pool so much.

Our new house has a fibreglass pool and as soon as we can, we want to remove it and get you to build the same one as we had. The photos we include do not do it justice. Once again was a pleasure working with you and your team.

“…it was a pleasure to deal with someone as honest, frank, understanding and responsive.”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for your assistance and commitment to us from the initial quote stage with Peter and the construction stage with Mark.

I found dealing with Peter from the moment he arrived at the premises to quote on the project and through to the stage we made the commitment to run with Environ Pools, it was a pleasure to deal with someone as honest, frank, understanding and responsive. I would like to mention it was Peter’s honesty, commitment and follow up that won the project for Environ Pools.

Also, Mark was excellent in his role as project organiser. He also was honest and committed in all stages. Last but not least I would like to mention the trades people that Environ have on their books are reliable with the correct attitude which should endeavour an excellent word of mouth for further projects. I would have no hesitation in recommending Environ Pools.

“We want to thank you for your great service and look forward to many years of enjoyment in our lovely pool.”

The end result is a perfect pool for our family, and even though the kids especially love it, mum and dad are not far behind.

“We know we made the right choice.”

We researched pool builders extensively and decided on Environ, from plan to build and first swim, we know we made the right choice.

“It is refreshing to have someone that just sees something that needs to be done and does it!”

I just wanted to put a good word forward for Bob, our Supervisor. Thanks for allocating him to our job. It is refreshing to have someone that just sees something that needs to be done and does it! Some of the finer things only come to light at certain stages of the project and Bob just deals with it – no problems, no delays. Very happy, thanks again.

WADE

“Fantastic – always happy to refer people to Environ Pools.”

We were exceptionally happy with the quality and professionalism we had when our pool was built. Word of mouth is always a good thing. Hopefully I will send a few more your way. Thanks again.

“Everyone was so professional, the guys even cleaned up after themselves.”

Would highly recommend Environ Pools, right from the beginning with the first meeting with Peter, everything was clearly explained and hassle free. Everyone involved on the pool site was great. The dig went very smoothly, which I must admit was a little stressed over, but really didn’t have to be. Everyone was so professional, the guys even cleaned up after themselves. Bob, our supervisor, was courteous and a pleasure to deal with. We are now enjoying the summer swimming in our beautiful pool. Would definitely use Environ Pools again.

ANDREW & FAMILY

“We have been very happy with the service and knowledge your team has provided throughout the entire process.”

As the construction of our pool is almost finalised, we wish to thank Peter, Matt, Mark and yourself. We have been very happy with the service and knowledge your team has provided throughout the entire process. As such we had no hesitation in recommending Environ to our family and their friends, two of which have chosen to enlist you to build their pools as well. At times it seemed we had an endless list of questions, yet Matt and Mark were always willing to answer our calls to provide information and advice, and rectify any concerns. Once again, much appreciation to you and the Environ Team.
