There's nothing quite like jumping into your pool on a hot summer's day, but here in Victoria, those perfect swimming days don't always last as long as we'd like. While a swimming pool is often associated with the height of summer, adding heating can make it possible to enjoy your pool well beyond those few months of consistently warm weather. Whether you're hoping to start swimming earlier in spring, continue enjoying the water into autumn or simply maintain a more comfortab

If you've been researching swimming pools, you've probably noticed that fibreglass pools are really popular... and there's a good reason for that! Fibreglass pools have become an incredibly popular choice for Australian backyards, offering a combination of durability, beautiful finishes and a huge variety of designs. From compact plunge pools through to large family pools, today's fibreglass options are a long way from a one-size-fits-all solution. At GV Unique Pools & Landsc

For most people, the dream is pretty simple: spend more time enjoying the pool and less time cleaning it. While every swimming pool requires some level of ongoing care, there are plenty of choices you can make during the planning stage that can make maintaining your pool much easier. From the equipment you choose to where the pool is positioned and even what you plant around it, the overall design of your backyard can have a surprisingly big impact on your regular maintenance

When you're building a new home, there are already hundreds of decisions to make, so it can be tempting to leave the backyard and pool until after the house is finished. But if you already know that a pool is part of your future plans, getting it into the conversation early can make the entire process much easier. You don't necessarily need to install your pool at the same time as your house is being built. However, knowing where it will eventually go can influence everything

When planning a new pool, one of the first questions is usually: How big can we go? But a better question might be: How big should we go? The largest pool that physically fits in your backyard isn't necessarily the pool that will work best for your home or lifestyle. The right pool should feel proportional to the space, give you enough room for the way you want to use it and still allow the rest of your backyard to function. At GV Unique Pools & Landscaping, our fibreglass po

Choosing the pool itself is only the beginning. The shape, size and colour create the foundation, but it's often the details added around and within the pool that completely transform the finished result. From the materials surrounding the water to lighting, landscaping and carefully selected features, these choices can turn a beautiful pool into a space that feels completely considered. At GV Unique Pools & Landscaping, we encourage our clients to think beyond simply “Which

Installing a beautiful pool is a big part of transforming a backyard, but the pool itself is only one piece of the picture. The landscaping surrounding your pool can completely change how the finished space looks, feels and functions. From the materials to planting, lawn areas, pathways and entertaining spaces... good landscaping helps connect your new pool with your home and the rest of your property. At GV Unique Pools & Landscaping, we believe landscaping should be conside

Choosing your pool colour is one of the most exciting parts of designing a new pool, but it can also be one of the hardest decisions to make. A colour that looks perfect in one backyard can feel completely different in another. Your home's exterior, landscaping, pool surrounds, sunlight and even the atmosphere you want to create can all influence which colour works best... And unlike choosing a paint colour, you can't simply change it later on. Start With the Style of Your Ho

Deciding to put in a swimming pool is exciting, but there’s a lot more to consider than simply choosing the pool you like best... The size and shape of your backyard, access to the property, how you want to use the space, landscaping, tiles or concrete, heating, filtration and even where the afternoon sun falls can all influence the final result. Taking the time to look at the entire outdoor space from the beginning can make all the difference between having a pool in the bac
