LUXURY POOL BUILDER IN BLACK ROCK
A Bespoke Pool and Spa Builder for Black Rock's Coastal Homes.
Based in Mornington, Aquarius Pools is a multi-award-winning builder of bespoke concrete swimming pools and spas. We bring decades of experience to homes in Black Rock and across Melbourne's bayside suburbs.
From architectural lap pools and intimate plunge pools to infinity-edge designs and integrated spas, we plan each project around your home's architecture and how you'll use the space.
Designed Around Your Architecture and Coastal Setting.
Black Rock has a mix of contemporary coastal residences and established period homes, and each style calls for a different approach to pool design. We start with the available space and existing landscaping, then consider how the pool will connect to your indoor living areas.
We work with homeowners, architects and landscape designers to match each pool to the home's proportions and materials.
Our specialities include:
Luxurious spas
Round pools or
freeform pools
In-ground concrete
swimming pools and spas
Rooftop pools
Domestic swimming
pool renovations
Engineered for Black Rock's Sandstone Bluffs.
Many Black Rock homes sit on elevated, sloping land around Red Bluff and Half Moon Bay, where sandy topsoil gives way to clay and soft sandstone. Sloping sites may require extra excavation planning, structural engineering, or retaining works, so we assess ground conditions at each property before construction starts.
Homes near Port Phillip Bay also deal with salt-laden air, which corrodes unprotected metal over time. We choose corrosion-resistant fittings and finishes for these sites so your pool holds up in coastal conditions.
Tailored Pool Designs for Black Rock Residences.
Plunge pools in Black Rock suit contemporary homes with compact outdoor spaces. They take up little yard space, so there's still room for entertaining, and with heating, they can be used year-round.
Deeper blocks near Beach Road and Ebden Avenue can accommodate architectural lap pools, which sit well beside multi-storey modern homes. On elevated cliff-top sites, an infinity pool can frame the bay view. Where ground space is limited, a rooftop pool may suit a new build.
Larger family homes can take a full entertainer's pool, with a wide shallow ledge for lounging and a luxurious spa for cooler evenings after a day at Half Moon Bay.
From Architectural Concept to Completion.
We look after each stage of your build, from engineering and site preparation to construction and final handover. We'll keep you updated as the work progresses.
We discuss your vision, your property's architecture and practical requirements to establish the design direction and prepare a tailored quotation.
1. Consultation and Quotation
2. Pre-construction and Preliminaries
We coordinate the necessary engineering, documentation, approvals and site preparations before construction begins.
3. Construction Excellence
From excavation and concrete spraying to waterproofing, tiling and finishes, our team oversees each stage with precision and attention to detail.
Once your pool or spa is complete, we commission the equipment and guide you through its operation, maintenance and ongoing care.
4. Finishing Touches and Handover

Navigating Bayside City Council Permits.
New swimming pools and spas in Black Rock generally require a building permit, and additional planning approvals may apply, depending on the property.
Parts of Black Rock, including residential land, are covered by a Vegetation Protection Overlay. Heritage Overlays apply to some properties, and sites near the coastal cliffs may be subject to erosion controls. Excavation, retaining works or tree removal on these properties may need further assessment.
Our in-house team handles the documentation and permits for your pool and works with consultants and Bayside City Council before construction begins.

Your main involvement is during the initial consultation and key design decisions, when we establish the pool's layout, finishes, equipment and project requirements.
From there, we handle construction, with regular progress updates and check-ins whenever we need your input. If your pool forms part of a larger home renovation or new build, we can also liaise with your architect, builder or landscape designer.
