Cityscapes Pools and Landscapes creates pool landscaping for Brisbane homes, bringing the pool, surrounds, planting, levels and outdoor living areas together from the beginning.
Whether you are creating a new pool or planning a complete backyard transformation, thoughtful landscape design helps the finished space feel connected to your home and the way your family lives.
YOUR POOL & LANDSCAPE SHOULD WORK TOGETHER
A swimming pool is only one part of your backyard.
The position of the pool, paving, planting, retaining, fencing, entertaining areas and connections back to the house all influence how the finished space looks and functions.
Planning these elements together from the start can create a more cohesive result and help avoid decisions being made in isolation later in the project.
LANDSCAPING DESIGNED AROUND YOUR HOME
Every property is different, so the landscape around your pool should respond to your home, block and lifestyle.
We consider how you want to use the space, the architecture of your home, available levels, access, maintenance preferences and Brisbane’s climate when planning the landscape around your new pool.
DESIGNED FOR BRISBANE
DESIGNED FOR YOUR PROPERTY
DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE
Plant selection and landscape materials should be considered for local conditions as well as how they perform around a swimming pool.
Compact blocks, sloping sites, retaining requirements and unusual levels can all influence the landscape design.
Family entertaining, quiet relaxation, space for children, low-maintenance living or a more detailed garden — the landscape should suit the way you want to live.
WHAT CAN BE INCLUDED?
Depending on the project, the landscaping surrounding your new pool may include:
Pool paving, tiling and surrounds
Decking and outdoor entertaining areas
Retaining and feature walls
Pool, boundary and feature fencing
Planting and garden beds
Natural or artificial turf
Irrigation
Outdoor lighting
Water features
Fire pits and feature elements
Concreting and pathways
Other complementary landscape works required for the overall design
PLANTING THAT COMPLEMENTS THE POOL
Good poolside planting should do more than simply look attractive.
Plant choices can be considered around the amount of maintenance you want, the available space, privacy, the style of your home and how the plants will perform in Brisbane conditions.
The aim is to create planting that softens and completes the pool area without making the backyard unnecessarily difficult to maintain.
CHALLENGING BLOCK? PLAN THE LANDSCAPE EARLY.
Sloping blocks, retaining walls, narrow access, drainage, changing ground levels and neighbouring boundaries can all affect both the pool and the surrounding landscape.
These considerations are best identified early, while the pool and outdoor space are still being designed.
Cityscapes has extensive experience working with challenging Brisbane sites and designing pool and landscape solutions around the realities of the property.
FROM POOL TO COMPLETE BACKYARD
A successful outdoor area should feel like it belongs together.
By considering the pool, surrounds and landscaping as part of the same project, the transition between your home, swimming pool and outdoor living areas can be planned more carefully.
Cityscapes coordinates the swimming pool project with the associated landscaping components, helping reduce the need for homeowners to manage multiple disconnected parts of the backyard transformation themselves.

PLANNING A NEW POOL?
The earlier the pool and surrounding landscape are considered together, the more opportunity there is to create a backyard that feels intentional from the beginning.
