Project Spotlight: Pool Renovation by Terraform Landscaping in Coorparoo, Brisbane
Terraform Landscaping recently completed a breathtaking swimming pool renovation project for a residential home in Coorparoo, a vibrant suburb located in Brisbane’s inner south. The homeowners sought to rejuvenate their existing pool area, tucked into the back corner of their property. With an eye for modern design and durability, Terraform Landscaping transformed the space by installing a stunning new interior pool lining using Jewels 4 Pools and laying luxurious 200mm x 200mm limestone tiles from Eco Outdoor around the pool area. This project not only revitalized the pool but also turned the outdoor area into an inviting retreat.
The existing pool was positioned in the back corner of the property, somewhat secluded from the main living area. While the location was private and serene, the pool itself had seen better days. Over the years, the original lining had faded and become worn, and the surrounding pool area no longer matched the homeowners’ aesthetic vision. They wanted to upgrade both the interior of the pool and the surrounding deck to create a cohesive, modern look that would blend seamlessly with the rest of their outdoor space.
One of the most dramatic changes in this renovation came from the replacement of the pool’s interior lining. Terraform Landscaping chose Jewels 4 Pools, a high-end pool finishing product known for its sparkling, jewel-like appearance and long-lasting durability. Jewels 4 Pools is created using a combination of crushed glass and advanced polymer additives, resulting in a smooth, eye-catching surface that enhances the pool’s colour and water clarity.
The installation process began with the removal of the old, deteriorating pool lining, followed by careful preparation of the pool shell. The Jewels 4 Pools product was then applied in several layers, ensuring even coverage and a flawless finish. The homeowners selected a shimmering blue hue, which created a sparkling, crystal-clear appearance in the water. The result was a strikingly beautiful pool interior that not only reflected natural sunlight during the day but also gave the pool an alluring glow in the evening under outdoor lighting.
In addition to its visual appeal, the Jewels 4 Pools finish is also extremely durable. It’s resistant to fading, algae growth, and staining, which will help reduce maintenance needs over the years and keep the pool looking as fresh as the day it was installed. This added durability was a key consideration for the homeowners, who wanted a solution that would stand the test of time and maintain its beauty through Brisbane’s hot summers and wet seasons.
For the area surrounding the pool, Terraform Landscaping selected 200mm x 200mm limestone tiles from Eco Outdoor. Limestone is a natural stone that offers a perfect balance of beauty, strength, and slip resistance—an important factor for poolside surfaces. The limestone tiles have a subtle, natural variation in colour, ranging from soft beige to creamy whites, which brings an organic, warm tone to the pool area.
Eco Outdoor is known for its high-quality, sustainably sourced materials, making its limestone tiles an ideal choice for this project. The 200mm x 200mm tile size was chosen for its versatility and modern aesthetic, allowing for a sleek, grid-like pattern that complements the shape and contours of the pool.
Before laying the tiles, Terraform Landscaping carefully prepared the pool deck, ensuring proper drainage and a stable foundation. The team then laid the limestone tiles in a precise, grid pattern, paying close attention to the alignment and spacing. The tiles were grouted with a matching, neutral-toned grout that enhanced the seamless look of the surrounding area. The limestone surface created a soft, natural transition between the pool and the surrounding garden, blending perfectly with the greenery and outdoor furniture.
Limestone is not only visually appealing but also highly practical for pool areas. Its naturally slip-resistant surface provides an added layer of safety for anyone walking barefoot near the water. Furthermore, limestone remains cool underfoot, even in the hot Brisbane sun, making it a comfortable surface to walk on during the warmer months.
One of the main challenges of this project was working within the confined space in the back corner of the property. The pool’s location limited access to large equipment and the proximity to property boundaries required careful planning during the tile installation. However, Terraform Landscaping has extensive experience with projects in tight spaces, and the team was able to overcome these challenges through meticulous planning and coordination.
The installation of both the Jewels 4 Pools interior and the limestone tiles went smoothly, thanks to Terraform’s skilled team and attention to detail. The homeowners were kept informed throughout the process and were thrilled with the outcome.
The completed pool renovation transformed the secluded corner of the backyard into a private oasis that the homeowners can now enjoy year-round. The shimmering blue of the Jewels 4 Pools interior creates a vibrant contrast with the earthy tones of the limestone tiles, giving the space a sophisticated yet natural look. The homeowners were particularly pleased with how the renovation enhanced the overall aesthetic of their outdoor space, creating a seamless connection between the pool and garden.
This project not only rejuvenated the existing pool but also elevated the entire backyard, turning it into a functional, stylish retreat perfect for relaxation and entertaining. Terraform Landscaping’s use of premium materials like Jewels 4 Pools and Eco Outdoor limestone tiles ensured that the renovation would stand the test of time, providing the homeowners with a low-maintenance, visually stunning outdoor area for years to come.
