Summer Pools Are Made in Winter
Don’t wait for the sun to shine – plan your dream pool space now.
Winter might not be the season where you think about grabbing your swimmers and diving into the deep end, but for us at Yards Apart, this is exactly the time to get things moving. Why? Because summer-ready backyards don’t just appear when the weather heats up – they take time, planning, and the right team.
If you’ve been dreaming of lounging by a pool, enjoying a BBQ with the family, or hosting the kind of Christmas lunch that Aunt Leanne will be talking about for years, then now is the time to get that ball rolling.
We don’t build the pools – we make everything around them amazing.
At Yards Apart, we specialise in everything that makes your pool area shine:
Garden beds (lush, layered, and low-maintenance if that’s your vibe)
Real and artificial turf (because green matters)
Paving (hello, Flamed Granite!)
Retaining walls (that work and look great)
Outdoor lighting (yep, we do it, but we also rate BJP Electrical – ask for Ben)
When it comes to the pool itself, we always recommend Luke from Supreme Pools – he’s our go-to guy for making a splash.
Not sure how to make it all fit? Whether it’s a new build or an existing space that needs some vision, we recommend chatting to Andrew Plant or Anthea Dunlop – both top-notch landscape architects who can help you figure out how it all flows.
What the quote process looks like: Our quotes are completely obligation-free. Just send us an email at hello@yardsapart.com.au with some info about your project, and we’ll tee up a site visit. In some cases – like brand new builds – Alex can work off plans or satellite images. Once he’s had a look, you’ll usually get your quote within a week.
Below are a few standout project photos that showcase the kind of poolside spaces we’ve had the pleasure of working on—spaces we’re proud of, and that reflect the quality and creativity we bring to every job:

So if you're thinking of dipping a toe in, don’t wait for the heat. Planning now means enjoying your summer (and showing off at Christmas) in a backyard that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
