Who are Saltwater Pools & Landscapes?
Saltwater Pools & Landscapes is a family-run business with over 30 years of experience creating bespoke pools and landscapes across Melbourne and beyond.
Based in the eastern suburbs, we pride ourselves on honesty, integrity, and excellence. From inner-city courtyards to sprawling country properties, we design and build outdoor spaces tailored to your lifestyle. Many of our clients return to us after moving or recommend us to family, a testament to our commitment to quality and personal service.
With trusted contractors and a collaborative approach, we transform backyards into stunning outdoor destinations you’ll love for years to come.
Our Story
2019 I needed a change: running a crew of 25 people in landscape and pool building had been exciting and successful, but I was ready for something new.
​
My wife (a landscape designer) and I had great expectations about the year 2020: we were ready for new beginnings! Little did we know what was in store for the world…enter, Covid lockdowns!
​
So, in 2020, we found ourselves unemployed, locked up, and with plenty of thinking time! Our middle son (we have 3 children) was planning on doing his landscape apprenticeship after school, but as life played out, he ended up leaving school earlier than planned that year and we decided to take it slower, with less projects, and work this dream together.
​
The name? Well 'Saltwater Pools and Landscapes' was born out of my love for surfing, or any kind of water sport involving the ocean.
​
Will is now a fully qualified landscaper and part of the Saltwater team. In addition to him, I have many contractors that over the years have become trusted friends: steel fixers, concreters, tilers, plumbers, electricians, stone masons, even outdoor art and pottery suppliers.
We are not the biggest, but we aim to be one of the best family run landscape and pool businesses in Australia.
