At Laguna, we custom design and build pools with purpose, working alongside leading landscape architects and designers to create outdoor environments where everything feels effortlessly connected. Each pool is shaped by the home’s architecture, landscape and lifestyle, integrating seamlessly into the overall vision.
The success of this approach is reflected in our multi-award winning Clifton Hill project, which received eight awards including SPASA Gold at both the Australian and Victorian Awards in 2025. Delivered in collaboration with a leading landscape design partner, the project brings the pool and surrounding environment together as a complete outdoor space – a striking, beautifully realised outcome shaped around the way the space is lived in.
Achieving your dream outdoor space begins with a quick, obligation-free chat with one of our friendly Laguna team members. We’re here to bring your dream pool to life.
Our process is built around collaboration, working alongside your landscape architect or one of our trusted design partners from the outset. Laguna leads the pool design and construction, coordinating closely with the wider project team to ensure alignment at every stage.
Upon receipt of your enquiry, one of our friendly sales team members will contact you for a chat about your project.
We take the time to understand both your vision for the pool and the broader direction of your outdoor space. Where a landscape architect or designer is already involved, we work alongside them from day one.
We will discuss:
- Site details including block size, site access, easements and overlays.
- Desired pool size, usage and key features
- Architectural style and outdoor living priorities
- Integration with the surrounding landscape design
Following this, we prepare a tailored proposal focused on the pool design and how it will align with the wider project.
Once engaged, Laguna begins the pool design process, working alongside your architect or landscape designer, whether starting from a blank canvas or refining an existing concept.
A large proportion of externally provided pool concepts require further development. Our role is to translate these ideas into detailed, buildable pool designs that meet structural, hydraulic and regulatory requirements, while maintaining alignment with the overall project direction.
We develop a customised pool design in collaboration with your landscape architect or designer, ensuring it aligns with both the architectural vision and the landscape framework.
This includes:
- Pool shape, layout and positioning
- Material selection and internal finishes
- Integration with levels, retaining and surrounding structures
- Consideration of sightlines, movement and usability
Throughout this stage, we coordinate closely with your landscape architect or designer to ensure the pool is developed as part of the overall outdoor design.
We encourage you to review your design and provide feedback. Refinements are made in collaboration with your landscape architect or designer, ensuring the pool design continues to meet your expectations as the project evolves.
Once finalised, Laguna prepares detailed documentation for the pool, including engineering, hydraulic design and construction specifications.
A comprehensive pool construction quotation is then provided, along with guidance on approvals and ongoing coordination with your landscape architect or designer.
Laguna manages the complete pool construction process, while continuing to work alongside your landscape architect and builder as the project progresses. This ensures the pool and surrounding landscape are delivered in alignment, as the surrounding environment comes together on site.
Laguna is Australia’s leading concrete pool builder, with over 1,000 projects delivered and more than 140 industry awards.
Our focus is on pool design and construction, shaping pools that form a considered connection between the home, the landscape and how the space is lived in.
Every project is approached individually. There is no rinse-and-repeat, each pool is designed in response to its setting, whether that’s coastal conditions, inner-city constraints or a strong architectural vision.
We work alongside leading landscape architects and designers, ensuring the pool is developed as part of the overall design – not as a separate feature, but as a defining element within it.
Our role is to deliver the technical design and engineering behind the pool, including:
- Translating architectural concepts into buildable pool designs
- Engineering and technical design for complex and challenging sites
- Material selection focused on performance, durability and finish
- Superior water filtration systems for efficient performance and consistently clear water
By combining this depth of pool design with a collaborative approach, each project benefits from the right focus at every stage, resulting in an outdoor space where the pool and landscape work seamlessly together.

"We were blown away by the 3D concept renders for our new backyard! The designers at Laguna have thought of everything, from entertaining space, appropriate planting, an outdoor fireplace and access from the house, not to mention a seriously impressive pool design that we cannot wait to start building. Thank you Laguna!"
Shaun and Claire
“From the initial contact we had with the entire team at Laguna, right through to completion of our pool, we could not have been happier with the quality of service and product. Attention to detail, building to requirements and understanding that everyone has a budget was really important to us. Laguna Pools worked with us through the entire process to ensure our family has a beautiful, high-quality pool to complement our new family home. We would highly recommend anyone thinking of installing a new pool to get in touch with the team at Laguna."
Steve & Katrina
"When we started the process with Laguna, Glenn strongly recommended a landscape design for our pool and yard. Glenn assured us that designing a liveable yard is just as important as a design for a beautiful liveable house. I was of the opinion that a “pool is a pool…just dig a hole?” I was wrong, and we were so glad to have the plans complete, not only providing new fresh ideas that had no envisioned, including space for a car, lawn, BBQ and entertaining. The trees in the design were chosen to screen neighbouring houses for privacy in an inner-city suburb, as well as much needed shade in summer. The value that this design has added to the outcome of ‘getting a pool’ has really outweighed the cost. Thanks again Laguna for all the advice and work you put in. We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful yard.”
Laguna Clients
“The whole idea of building a pool, we found somewhat daunting. Then you start buying pool magazines thinking it’s going to help you with what you think you may want but it really just confused us more. So after looking at websites of pool builders, we decided on Laguna, and it’s been one of the best decisions we have made. We emailed Laguna, and decided to go with an actual concept and drawings so we could see what the end result was going to look like has been a blessing. Matt has been with us all the whole journey. He visited us at the property, he threw some ideas around and we gave our wish list. Like any wish list you really don’t expect to get them all, but Matt has made them all happen. Matt has made our journey from what we thought was daunting to seamless.”
Carlo and Sue
“I love working with Laguna! I have worked with their team on many high-end projects, and their fastidious, hands-on approach, ensures the design and building process is seamless and stress free. Laguna achieves amazing results for their clients, where the end-result is always beautiful. I look forward to working together in the future.”
Heath Blair
"Having a broad understanding of the complexities of high-end residential construction ensures Laguna make informed decisions when assessing the design requirements for any new project. They are a company that complements our range of designs and are able to deliver a product of outstanding quality, which is the reason we continue to recommend and engage Laguna."
Greg Thompson
“We have been using Laguna to build cutting edge pools and spas on our award-winning projects for a number of years now, and we have always been impressed with every level of their entire process. From their customer service, their efficient and sound construction practices through to their commitment to deliver the finest detail, the entire team at Laguna is one we love to work with, recommend and look forward to building an even better portfolio of work with.”

No. If you already have a landscape architect or designer, we’ll work closely with them from the outset. If not, we can connect you with trusted, award-winning landscape design partners who align with the direction and scale of your project.
This flexibility allows you to either bring your own design team or be introduced to experienced professionals, ensuring the right combination of expertise for your project.
Yes. In many cases, Laguna is engaged after an initial concept has been prepared. While these concepts often capture the design intent, the pool component typically requires further development to ensure it can be built correctly.
Our role is to refine the pool design, addressing structure, hydraulics, levels and construction detail, so that the original vision can be realised without compromise. This process is carried out in collaboration with the designer, maintaining alignment with the overall project.
No, at Laguna our expertise lies in pool design and construction. The surrounding landscape is designed by your chosen landscape architect or one of our trusted design partners.
Rather than offering a single, generalised service, this approach brings together dedicated specialists, allowing each aspect of the project to be handled by those with the most relevant expertise, resulting in a more considered and cohesive outcome.
The pool is developed in step with the entire outdoor design, not applied after the fact. We coordinate closely with the landscape designer to ensure alignment across key elements such as layout, levels, materials and spatial flow.
This ensures the pool feels fully integrated within the space, visually connected, functionally aligned and consistent with the overall design direction.
If you’re still exploring ideas, our team will guide you through the pool design process, helping define how the pool should function, how it connects to the home and how it fits within the outdoor space and your lifestyle.
Where a landscape designer is involved, we work collaboratively to ensure all elements work well together. You can also explore our portfolio of completed projects to see how different sites, styles and requirements have been approached.
Yes. Pool design is typically refined throughout the process, particularly as the project develops. Changes to layout, levels or surrounding elements can all influence how the pool is detailed.
We work closely with your landscape design team to manage these adjustments, ensuring the pool remains aligned with both the practical requirements of construction and the overall vision for the space.

“My wife Bec and I are heading into the second phase of the planning process with Laguna, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Laguna has been thoroughly professional and have won our confidence through their thoughtful response to the brief we provided. The initial design documentation was of the highest quality and made it easy for us to fine tune and discuss alternatives. We can’t wait to see the final!”
