Already have a swimming pool, or planning to install one soon? The pool itself is only half the picture. The surrounding landscaping is what turns a swimming area into a relaxing, private, and beautifully functional outdoor living space.

At Zones Landscaping Waikato, we design and build poolside landscapes that balance style, safety, practicality, and the unique way your household uses your outdoor space.

Whether you're wanting a resort feel, a family-friendly backyard, or a sleek architectural finish, we’ll create a pool environment that suits you.

Why poolside landscaping matters

A well-designed pool landscape:

• Makes the pool area safer and easier to move around
• Completes the look and feel of your outdoor space
• Adds privacy, shelter, shade and comfort
• Enhances the value of your home
• Extends your usable living space outdoors

Instead of a pool that looks “dropped in”, your backyard becomes a cohesive and inviting place to relax, entertain, and enjoy.

What Zones Landscaping Waikato can design and build

We tailor every design to your home and your lifestyle. Your Landscaping Partner will work with you to refine the look, layout, functionality, and flow of your pool area.

Poolside landscaping services include:

• Pool decking (timber, composite or tile look)
• Paving, coping and hardscaping
• Outdoor showers and changing zones
• Garden and planting design
• Privacy screens and fencing solutions
• Outdoor lighting, heating and entertainment areas
• Pergolas, shade sails and covered areas
• Pathways and lawn integration
• Pool equipment housing and storage solutions

Everything is planned carefully to ensure safety, regulatory compliance and long-lasting durability.

A streamlined process from concept to completion

Managing multiple contractors can be stressful. With Zones, your Landscaping Partner oversees the entire project:

• Design concepts and layout planning
• Council requirements and compliance
• Material selection
• Contractor scheduling and build management
• Clear communication from start to finish

You’ll always know what’s happening next and have one dedicated point of contact.

How much does poolside landscaping cost?

Costs vary depending on materials, size, and the level of transformation you’re after. For example:

• A simple refresh of planting and fencing might be a modest investment.
• Full outdoor living transformations with decking, screens, paving, planting, and lighting can be a larger project.

Because every home is different, the best way to understand your project cost is to book a consultation. We provide concepts and costings before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

Will Zones take care of consents and safety requirements?

Yes. Fencing, drainage and layout around pools must meet specific safety and council regulations. Your Waikato Landscaping Partner manages the compliance process and works with trusted professionals to ensure your pool area is safe and built to code.
