The most natural of the four. Planting runs down to the water and a submerged oak beam separates the swim zone from the regeneration zone. Softest look, lowest starting point, and the quickest to settle into an established garden.
A crisper, more architectural pool with a clearly defined swimming area and the regeneration zone set alongside it. Stone or oak edges and clean lines, with the water kept clear by plants and biology rather than chlorine.
All figures above are guides and exclude VAT. Published market prices for this kind of work vary enormously, and anyone giving you a firm number without seeing the site is guessing. We visit, measure, and come back with a real one. No charge, no obligation.
Size and depth of the swimming zone come first, then ground conditions and how much has to be excavated. Access matters more than people expect: if a machine cannot reach the spot, the groundwork costs more. After that it is the finish, natural stone, oak or decking, the filtration we specify, the scale of the planting, and extras such as heating, a jetty or a sauna.
