A pool is often the centrepiece of a backyard, and the area surrounding it plays a crucial role in both safety and style. Pool surround concreting provides a durable, slip-resistant and visually appealing finish that enhances outdoor living spaces. Whether you’re looking for a sleek seamless edge, a decorative exposed aggregate surface or a practical broom finish, concrete is a versatile solution for properties across Gisborne, Sunbury and Melton.
At Cube Concreting, we specialise in designing and installing pool surrounds that balance function and aesthetics. Concrete provides a strong, long-lasting base that stands up to constant exposure to water, chlorine and the elements. Unlike timber or pavers, it resists shifting, warping or rotting, making it a smart choice for busy families in suburbs such as Woodend, Diggers Rest and Deanside.
Many homeowners in Fraser Rise, Taylors Hill, Macedon and Hillside opt for seamless edge finishes, where the concrete flows right up to the pool’s edge. This design creates a modern, streamlined look while reducing tripping hazards and making the pool area safer for children. Decorative options such as coloured concrete or exposed aggregate may also be used to complement the overall style of the property.

How It Works
Consultation & design
We meet with you in Gisborne, Sunbury, Melton or nearby suburbs to discuss your pool area. Together, we choose the best finish, whether that’s seamless edging, exposed aggregate or coloured concrete.
Preparation
The site is carefully prepared to ensure proper drainage and stability. Correct formwork is installed around the pool to achieve the desired edge design.
Pouring
Concrete is poured and reinforced to create a durable base that handles constant moisture and heavy foot traffic.
Finishing
Depending on your preference, we apply finishes such as exposed aggregate for a decorative look, coloured concrete for style, or broomed/swirl textures for added grip.
Sealing
A sealer is applied to protect against water damage, chlorine, stains and weathering.
Final walkthrough
We inspect the finished surround with you to ensure it meets safety standards and looks exactly as you envisioned.
This process ensures your pool area is both functional and beautiful, ready for years of enjoyment.

Design Options and Flexibility
Pool surrounds don’t just need to be practical — they should also look great and enhance the value of your property.
In Gisborne and Macedon, homeowners often choose natural tones and stone-look exposed aggregate to blend with the environment. In Sunbury and Melton, modern greys and darker tones are popular for contemporary poolscapes. In suburbs such as Fraser Rise, Taylors Hill and Hillside, seamless edge finishes are particularly in demand, creating a sleek, resort-style appearance.
Additional features such as decorative borders, colour matching or integration with alfresco and patio areas allow you to create a cohesive outdoor living space. Concrete’s flexibility means you can achieve almost any look while still enjoying a surface that is practical and durable.
Maintenance and Longevity
Concrete pool surrounds are straightforward to maintain. Regular sweeping and hosing keep them clean, while resealing every few years protects against water absorption, staining and wear.
Sealed concrete resists the effects of chlorine, salt and sun exposure, making it ideal for Melbourne’s climate. Homeowners in suburbs such as Woodend, Diggers Rest and Deanside find that with minimal upkeep, their pool surrounds remain safe and attractive for decades.
Unlike timber decking or loose pavers, concrete does not shift or deteriorate over time. This makes it a cost-effective, long-term solution for families across Gisborne South and Greater Melbourne.
