Above Ground Pools

Our custom engineered above-ground and semi-in-ground concrete pools transform any backyard

What we do

Premium architectural pools that elevate your lifestyle—and your view.

Where mass-produced fibreglass pools fail, Ocean Blu excels. Rigid pre-moulded shells require extensive, ugly retaining walls and costly earthmoving to work on sloped land. A custom concrete shell, however, is its own retaining structure.

We engineer our above-ground walls to bear immense structural loads, allowing us to build directly out of the earth. This opens up incredible design possibilities: creating dramatic exposed concrete facades, integrating flush glass viewing panels, or matching the pool level perfectly to an elevated second-story alfresco. We don’t fight your property’s slope; we use it to create a multi-level resort experience.

Engineered to Defy Gravity

Above-ground concrete pools build demand for high-level engineering. Every pool is constructed with heavy-gauge, custom-bent steel rebar cages and commercial-grade shotcrete formulations, ensuring the exposed walls possess absolute structural integrity designed to stand forever.

Finishes of Distinction

An exposed pool wall is a major visual element of your home. We finish our above-ground exteriors to match your home’s aesthetic—offering architectural off-form concrete looks, premium stone cladding, custom rendering, or seamless timber feature wrapping.

Precision Water Flow

Elevated pools require specialised water flow engineering, especially when paired with a semi-infinity catch tank. We install ultra-quiet, commercial-spec pump systems and intelligent automation to ensure flawless water circulation and crystal-clear clarity.

Built Like its Our Own Pool

The Elevated Beauty of Concrete

An above-ground pool naturally creates a stunning backyard. Our integrated landscape design process ensures these varying levels flow together effortlessly. We plan the entire footprint simultaneously—coordinating the pool’s structural walls with custom terraced steps, structural paving, frameless glass balustrades, and waterwise native plantings. This complete approach guarantees that your elevated pool feels like a natural, extension of the landscape rather than an imposing obstruction.

Building out of the ground requires a level of oversight that big brandname pool companies simply cannot provide. Because Ocean Blu is a boutique, family-owned company, our director, Jason Lardi, personally oversees your project’s engineering layout from day one. We treat your home’s structural foundation exactly as we would our own, refusing to rush curing phases or compromise on structural thickness. Jason is on-site ensuring millimeter-perfect accuracy, delivering absolute peace of mind for your family.

FAQ’s

Frequently asked questions

Because an above-ground or semi-in-ground concrete pool wall must act as its own engineered retaining wall to hold thousands of liters of water above the earth, they do require more steel reinforcement, specialized formwork, and higher-strength concrete mixtures. While the structural engineering costs are higher upfront, they often save homeowners tens of thousands of dollars by eliminating the need for separate, massive backyard retaining walls, extensive excavation, and complex soil-removal logistics.

Yes, absolutely. This is one of the most breathtaking luxury features available with custom concrete engineering. Because the concrete shell is incredibly rigid and stable, we can engineer custom structural rebates into the exposed walls to house thick, structural acrylic or laminated glass panels. This creates a stunning “aquarium effect,” allowing you to see directly into the sparkling blue water from your lower garden or alfresco area.

We tailor the exterior finish to complement your home’s architecture. Popular high-end options include a clean, minimalist off-form architectural concrete look, premium natural stone cladding (such as limestone or travertine), or custom exterior texture coats that match your home’s existing render. We can also integrate modern timber or composite cladding to soften the structure into the surrounding landscape.

Western Australian pool safety laws are strict, but an above-ground pool offers clever ways to achieve compliance beautifully. If the exposed pool wall stands 1.2 meters or higher above the surrounding ground and has no climbing footholds, the wall itself can often form part of your safety barrier. We integrate elegant, frameless glass balustrades along the top edges and decks to ensure total council compliance without blocking your views.
