Our Process for pool surrounds

Our Process for Pool Surrounds

Precision, Safety, and Seamless Style Delivered Step by Step

At MercsCon, our pool surrounds are designed with more than concrete, they’re built on craftsmanship, smart planning, and a passion for creating beautiful spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and living. Whether you're after exposed aggregate, coloured concrete, or a high-end polished concrete finish, our process ensures the result is as durable as it is stunning.

1. On-Site Consultation & Design Brief

We start with a detailed on-site inspection to assess the pool area, listen to your vision, and recommend the best material for your needs. We’ll guide you through finishes like:

Exposed Aggregate for grip and texture
Coloured Concrete for bold or subtle design
Floating edges for seamless elegance
Polished Concrete (via grinding) for a sleek, modern finish
We also discuss layout, steps, drainage, and how the surface will function in your outdoor lifestyle.

2. 3D Visualisation & Quote

We provide AI-powered 3D render previews to help you visualise the final look, especially helpful for polished finishes or curved edge designs. You'll also receive a clear, fixed price quote that covers everything from excavation to finishing touches.

3. Site Preparation & Excavation

We clear, level, and prepare the area with attention to detail, ensuring optimal drainage and a solid sub base. Proper prep is crucial for long term durability, especially around pools where ground movement and moisture are factors.

4. Formwork & Reinforcement

Using laser levels, we install clean formwork and lay reinforced mesh to strengthen the slab. This step guarantees longevity and prevents cracking from expansion or water exposure.

5. Concrete Pour & Floating Edge Setup

Concrete is poured and screeded with care. If you’re opting for a floating edge, a sleek, seamless transition around the pool, we build this into the pour. It's a standout feature for modern entertaining areas.

6. Surface Finishing: Aggregate, Colour, or Polishing

Depending on your chosen finish:

Exposed Aggregate: Surface is washed back to reveal the natural stones
Coloured Concrete: Smoothed and finished with your selected pigment
Polished Concrete: Once cured, we return to grind and polish the surface using industrial-grade polishing tools, gradually refining it to your desired sheen, matte, semi-gloss, or high-gloss
This finish offers luxury aesthetics, easy maintenance, and a heat-friendly surface for barefoot use.

7. Sealing & Protection

Every surface is sealed using premium concrete sealers, improving slip resistance and extending life, especially important for high-moisture areas. For polished concrete, sealing adds shine, UV protection, and guards against staining.

8. Clean Up & Handover

We leave the site spotless and ready to enjoy. You’ll receive simple maintenance tips and resealing timelines to protect your new concrete pool surround for decades to come.
