Non-slip spray-crete around the pool and coping. Cool underfoot, chlorine tolerant, and no more lifting or cracked pavers. We quote Gordon jobs after we have seen the slab, never over the phone.
We work across Gordon 2072 and the wider North Shore most weeks, so a site assessment is usually a two or three day wait rather than a fortnight.
Pool surrounds take the worst of it — chlorine, salt, UV, bare feet and constant wetting. We resurface the whole area in a light-toned spray-crete with a fine broadcast texture, carried neatly up to the coping and around the edges of the shell.
Light colours matter here: a pale sandstone or beige stays noticeably cooler underfoot than dark concrete in February. The finish is rated for wet-area slip resistance and it will not lift the way pavers do when the ground moves.

In a light colour, yes — that is why we steer people away from charcoal around a pool. A pale sandstone or beige is dramatically cooler underfoot than dark concrete in summer.
No. The sealer we use around pools is specified for chlorinated and salt water. What does damage a surround is acid washing, so keep acids off it.
Yes, we detail the coping and step edges by hand so the finish terminates cleanly rather than stopping in a straight line across the paving.
Usually within two or three business days. The assessment takes about 45 minutes — we measure up, probe the slab for moisture and photograph any cracks — and the written quote follows within two business days of that.
We cover North Shore and the surrounding areas. Same crew, same preparation standard, no travel loading inside the metro area.
Free on-site assessment across North Shore — Mon–Sat, 6:30am–5pm.
