Matt & his team are the best! After inspecting our pool, our Independent Certifier said Matt's pool was the best constructed he'd seen & was the only pool place he would recommend now! And he's very particular! Matt's team worked through soaking rain & long hours to get our pool finished in time for Christmas. He cleverly designed the pool fencing so it didn't block our ocean views. Honest, hard-working & so accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble!

We recently had Matt and his team build a pool for our house and honestly could not be happier. Great ideas, beautiful finish and a pleasure to work with. I have further recommended Saltleaf to friends and clients who have also had similar experience.

Everything you need to know

Concrete pools offer high customisation, allowing for unique shapes and designs. Saltleaf can guide you through all your options to ensure a successful project. Concrete pools are also highly durable and can be designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
All of our pool systems allow for our clients to choose from salt and mineral water. Once we have finished you can change between salt and mineral at any time to allow you to be the best judge of what's best for you. We believe in a transparent discussion around your water sanitation system to ensure your family is swimming in only the best kept water.

When designing your pool, the possibilities are nearly endless, and you can create a space that's as simple or as luxurious as you desire. Here are some popular features you can consider:

  1. Water Features: Waterfalls, fountains, and jets add visual interest and soothing sounds to your pool.
  2. Spa Integration: A built-in spa can provide a relaxing retreat within your pool area.
  3. Lighting: LED lighting can create a stunning ambiance, allowing you to enjoy your pool even after the sun goes down long into the night.
  4. Tanning Ledges: Shallow ledges allow for lounging and sunbathing within the pool, perfect for relaxation.
  5. Swim-Up Bars: For the ultimate in luxury, a swim-up bar allows you to enjoy refreshments without leaving the water.
  6. Infinity Edges: This design feature creates the illusion that the pool extends to the horizon, adding a touch of sophistication.
  7. Automated Systems: Smart technology can automate cleaning, heating, and lighting, making pool maintenance more convenient.
  8. Energy-Efficient Equipment: Solar heaters, variable-speed pumps, and other energy-saving features can reduce operating costs.
  9. Covers: Keep it energy efficient with a cover, a simple thermal cover up to an automated Remco system.
  10. Secondary Sanitation: Add UV sterilisation or ozone injection for the ultimate in water sanitation.
  11. Landscaping: At Saltleaf we love working on the bigger picture. Integrating the pool with surrounding gardens, decks, and outdoor living spaces creates a cohesive and inviting environment.
  12. Fencing: Fencing is a requirement and protects your family. We work with the best subcontractors in the highlands to keep your family safe.

Building a concrete pool typically takes anywhere from 3 to 6 months on average. Depending on the scope of either just a pool or additional landscaping and structures can affect timelines. Generally your pool will be installed within 2 weeks and then it is required to cure for 4 weeks before the finishes can start. We normally use these 4 weeks to get the landscaping started around the pool area.
