Our Newport office covers the northern beaches, including Palm Beach, Avalon Beach, Bilgola, Clareville, Whale Beach, Bayview and Mona Vale. The peninsula has its own conditions, and they matter more than most people expect when planning a pool.
Proximity to the ocean means salt in the air. Salt is corrosive, and over time it acts on fixings, fittings, handrails, equipment and any exposed metal around the pool. Material selection on a beachside property is not a cosmetic decision, it is a durability one, and it deserves attention at the specification stage rather than after the fact.
The ground varies considerably across the peninsula, and so does the terrain. A pool here is shaped as much by the setting as by the brief.
