Sienna Pools — Concrete Pools Melbourne
Concrete Pools Melbourne
Reinforced steel, hand-shaped shotcrete, and a finish chosen entirely by you. Sienna Pools designs and builds fully bespoke concrete pools for Melbourne backyards — direct with the owners, no templates, no middlemen.
Some pools are installed. Others are engineered.
Every Sienna Pool starts with steel, not a mould.
Poured on site, shaped to your block
Unlike a pre-formed shell, every Sienna Pools concrete pool is built entirely from scratch, on your site, to your exact dimensions. Reinforced steel is set out first, then shotcrete — a high-pressure concrete mix — is sprayed and hand-shaped around it, so the pool takes whatever form your block and your vision call for.
That makes concrete the right choice for sloping blocks, narrow lots and irregular boundaries — sites where a fibreglass shell would never fit. And because you deal directly with Steve and Patrick from first call to handover, nothing gets lost between the design and what actually gets built.

Decades of experience and a reputation for straight answers — Sienna Pools is a trusted local choice.
No call centre. No project managers you've never met.
Every Sienna Pools build is run personally by Steve and Patrick, from the first site visit to the day you swim. There's no rotating cast of subcontractors relaying decisions back and forth — the person who quotes your pool is the person who oversees it being built.
It's a smaller way of building pools. But it means every call made on your site is made by someone who has been building pools around Melbourne for over two decades, not passed along a chain.

Anatomy of a Sienna Pool
Every wall is a structure, not a mould. Here's what's actually inside it.
Concrete pools vs. fibreglass pools in Melbourne
Both are legitimate ways to build a pool. Here's where they actually differ.
Concrete pools Melbourne: built for reactive clay
Large parts of Melbourne sit on reactive clay — soil classified H1, H2 or even E under AS 2870 — that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. It's one of the most common causes of cracked driveways, paths and pool shells across the city.
Site-specific geotechnical assessment
Every Sienna Pools build starts with soil testing, not a generic footing spec off a shelf.
Footings anchored below the active zone
Engineered footings sit beneath the reactive layer, in stable ground that isn't moving with the seasons.
Steel-tied shell, not a rigid shape
The reinforced concrete shell is tied and poured as one structure, resisting movement a lightweight shell can't.
Built to AS 2870
Footing and slab design follows the Australian Standard for residential slabs and footings on reactive sites.
Concrete pools in Melbourne: built for tricky blocks
A fibreglass shell arrives whole, which means it needs a clear path wide enough to carry or crane it through — and a level pad to sit it on. Sloping blocks, tight side access and overhanging trees can rule it out before you've even started.
Concrete is built in place. Steel is carried in, shotcrete is pumped through a hose from the truck on the street, and the shape is hand-formed to follow the fall of your block — steps, split-levels and all.

Consultation & design
Talk to Steve or Patrick for a no-obligation consultation. We discuss your space, style and budget, then handle permits, engineering and material selection before anything is built.
Construction & installation
Excavation, steel reinforcement, plumbing and shotcrete are completed by our team, followed by a 28-day cure and your chosen interior finish — checked at every stage.
Enjoy your pool
We balance the water and walk you through your new equipment. Once complete, your pool is ready to enjoy immediately.
Choose your finish
Each finish produces a distinct water colour, texture and character — from glass beads to natural stone.
Custom colour options let your pool reflect your home's style and surrounding landscape — from soft coastal blues to deep, modern charcoals — enhancing water tone and reducing glare.
View colour rangeSign in the cooler months, swim by summer
A concrete pool takes 10–16 weeks from permit to handover, including a 28-day structural cure. Starting the process in autumn or winter lines your build up with Melbourne's summer swim season.
Make the most of Melbourne's shoulder seasons
A well-heated, well-covered pool doesn't have to sit idle from April to November.
Solar heating
Roof-mounted panels use the sun to warm the water at close to no running cost — ideal paired with Melbourne's long daylight summer months.
Heat pump heating
Efficiently pulls warmth from the air, extending comfortable swimming well into shoulder-season mornings and evenings.
Pool covers & blankets
Thermal covers cut evaporation and heat loss overnight, so the water holds its temperature for longer between warm days.

Sienna Pools builds custom concrete pools in Melbourne across bayside, eastern, northern and western suburbs — wherever your block is, the same steel-and-shotcrete process applies.
Concrete pools Melbourne — bayside & inner suburbs
Narrow lots and heritage overlays are common here, which is exactly where a poured concrete pool earns its keep.
Concrete pools in Melbourne's eastern suburbs
Sloping blocks and split-level backyards are routine across the east — concrete pools are built in place to follow the fall of the land.
Concrete pools Melbourne — northern & western suburbs
Newer estates and reactive clay soils are common across the north and west, where engineered footings really matter.
