DG. Gardens — Brisbane
Pool Landscaping
Resort Living in Your Own Backyard
A swimming pool is the centrepiece of Brisbane's outdoor lifestyle — but a truly exceptional pool area extends far beyond the water's edge. At DG. Gardens, we specialise in transforming ordinary pool areas into luxurious, private sanctuaries that reflect your personal style and enhance your home's value. From premium pool surrounds and privacy screening to outdoor kitchens and cabanas, we design and build complete pool landscapes that feel like a five-star resort.
Everything You Need,
Under One Roof
Pool Surrounds & Paving
The pool surround sets the tone for the entire outdoor space. We work with a curated selection of premium materials — natural travertine, honed granite, brushed concrete, and composite timber — to create pool surrounds that are both beautiful and safe. Every material we specify is selected for its slip resistance, heat retention properties, and durability in Brisbane's subtropical climate.
Privacy Screening & Tropical Planting
Privacy is paramount in Brisbane's inner suburbs. We design lush, layered planting schemes that create a sense of seclusion without sacrificing light or airflow. Our horticulturalists select species that thrive in Brisbane's climate — from sculptural Bangalow palms and Frangipani to dense Lilly Pilly hedges and tropical gingers — creating a verdant backdrop that frames the pool beautifully.
Outdoor Entertaining & Cabanas
The best pool landscapes are designed for living, not just swimming. We integrate outdoor kitchens, covered entertaining areas, fire features, and custom-built cabanas that extend the functionality of the pool area into a true outdoor room. Every element is designed to work harmoniously with the pool and the broader landscape, creating a cohesive and luxurious outdoor living experience.
Common Questions
What is the best paving for pool surrounds in Brisbane?
For Brisbane's climate, we recommend natural travertine, honed granite, or brushed concrete for pool surrounds. These materials offer excellent slip resistance when wet, don't retain excessive heat underfoot, and age beautifully in subtropical conditions. We avoid highly polished surfaces and dark-coloured stones that can become dangerously hot in the Queensland sun.
How much does pool landscaping cost in Brisbane?
Pool landscaping projects at DG. Gardens typically range from $30,000 for a basic surround and planting package to $150,000+ for a full resort-style transformation including outdoor kitchen, cabana, lighting, and premium paving. The final cost depends on the size of the area, materials selected, and the complexity of the design. We provide a detailed fixed-price quote after a site consultation.
Can you help with pool fence compliance in Brisbane?
Yes. All pool fences in Queensland must comply with the Queensland Development Code and Australian Standard AS 1926. We design and install pool fences that meet all compliance requirements while complementing the aesthetic of the landscape. We also manage the required pool safety inspection and certification process.
