Freeform pools
Designed by the landscape, not the ruler.
Freeform pools embrace the natural curves and irregular contours of the landscape rather than the sharp geometric lines of a classic pool. Their flowing, organic shapes echo natural lagoons, ponds and winding rivers, and they blend into a garden rather than sitting apart from it.
The finished pool feels like a natural part of the garden rather than something added to it. Flowing edges, varied depths and carefully chosen finishes create a resort-style atmosphere at home.
Why homeowners choose freeform pools
Softer, more natural look. Curves, gentle bays and irregular edges suit lush, tropical and resort-style gardens, as well as bush settings.
Ideal for awkward yards. Freeform shapes can work around trees, rock outcrops, level changes and boundary quirks that make geometric designs difficult.
Design freedom in concrete. Concrete gives you complete flexibility over shape, depth and detail, so features like boulders, waterfalls, beach entries and shallow lounging areas can be built into the design from the start.
What to know: A freeform pool is a piece of custom design, shaped around your site and how you want to use it. Its surrounds, planting, lighting and finishes are as important as the pool itself, and we recommend planning them together.
Best suited to: landscaped gardens, irregular or sloping sites, and homeowners who want a pool that feels like part of the natural landscape.

What shapes the cost
We do not publish fixed prices because no two sites are the same. These are the main things that move the figure for a pool build.
Size and depth
Water volume drives excavation, concrete and equipment needed.
Site access
Tight or sloping access can change the machinery and method.
Finish and coping
Tile, render and stone can sit at very different price points.
Features
Heating, lighting, spas and water features all add up.
