Custom Concrete Pools for Hawthorn Homes

Considered Pools for Boroondara Family Homes

Pools Designed for How Hawthorn Families Actually Live.

Hawthorn pools have to work for the long run. The pool is used by children for a decade or more, sits in a backyard that's visible from every part of the home, and needs to satisfy a level of safety, finish and council compliance that doesn't allow for shortcuts.

Fine Art Pools designs and builds custom concrete and swimming pools in Hawthorn and across Melbourne's Inner East. Every project is delivered entirely in-house, with full design control from the first walkthrough to the final tiled finish. Pool fencing is designed into the project from concept stage and coordinated with trusted subcontractors so it lands cleanly with the landscape and architecture.

We strictly build one pool at a time. If you are planning a pool that needs to integrate with the home, the garden and how the family actually uses the backyard, we would welcome a conversation.

Why Hawthorn Homes Suit a Custom Concrete Pool.

Hawthorn sits within the City of Boroondara, with parts of the suburb covered by heritage overlays. A custom concrete pool can be shaped to council planning controls in ways a pre-moulded fibreglass shell cannot, which matters when permits depend on the pool reading as part of the home.

Pool fencing is a fixed legal requirement on every Victorian build. We coordinate with trusted fencing subcontractors from concept stage so the fence is designed into the project rather than added on at the end. The AS1926.1 compliance and council registration sit alongside the build and are sequenced into the project plan.

Hawthorn homes are typically planned around indoor-outdoor sightlines from the kitchen and primary living spaces. We design pool form, coping, tile selection and waterline detailing to hold their own visually when the family is in the living room on a winter evening, not just when the pool is in use.

Common Questions About Hawthorn Pool Builds

What are the pool fencing laws in Hawthorn? +
Pool fencing in Hawthorn falls under Victorian state law, which is consistent across Boroondara Council. Every pool and spa must be fenced to the AS1926.1 standard, registered with council and inspected for compliance every four years. We design the fence integration into the project from concept stage and coordinate with trusted fencing subcontractors so the fence is sequenced into the build rather than added on at the end.
Who installs pool fencing in Hawthorn? +
Pool fencing is installed by trusted subcontractors we work with regularly. We design the fence into the project from concept stage and coordinate the install as part of the project sequence, so you are not managing the fencing contractor separately.
How much does a custom concrete pool in Hawthorn cost? +
Custom concrete pools in Hawthorn typically start from $120,000. The final investment depends on the site, the brief, the level of finish and any integrated features such as a spa or infinity edge. We provide a detailed cost breakdown at quoting stage.
How long does a Hawthorn pool build take? +
The construction phase typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. Including design, council permits, scheduling and finishing trades, the full timeline from first conversation to first swim is up to 16 weeks.
