Swimming Pool Surround Surfacing: Safety First, Style Close Behind

Our swimming pool surround surfacing provides the perfect blend of safety and style. The skilled team at Harrington Brothers Contractors design and install bespoke pool surrounds for properties throughout Chelmsford, Epping and Brentwood along with the surrounding areas, as well as hotels and leisure sites across Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and London.

A pool surround performs multiple duties, but it is primarily installed to maximise personal safety around the perimeter of your pool, a wet perimeter is one of the most slip prone surfaces on any property.

Beyond that, it frames the pool, ties the space into its surroundings and takes constant traffic in bare feet, sun and chlorinated splash.

Getting all of that right takes a surfacing specialist rather than a general landscaper: the falls, drainage and finish around water are unforgiving of shortcuts.

Non Slip Resin Bound Pool Surfaces

There’s a range of non slip pool surfaces to choose from, and resin bound gravel is the standout. Laid as a single seamless surface of natural aggregate bound in clear resin, it delivers:

  • Slip resistance: a textured, barefoot friendly finish even when wet
  • Permeability: a SUDS friendly, permeable surface that lets splash and rainwater drain straight through rather than pooling
  • Long lasting service with little to no maintenance: no loose stones, no weeds, no repainting
  • Design freedom: a wide palette of aggregate colours and blends to suit any setting

Harrington Brothers are experienced resin specialists.

With countless resin bound gravel driveways carried out by our skilled installers, you can be assured you’ve chosen the correct team for the project you have envisioned.

The same craftsmanship that goes into our premium driveways goes into your poolside.

We only use premier materials, and for help picking a blend our guide to choosing resin colours for the perfect finish is a good place to start.

Designed Around Your Pool, Installed to Strict Standards

We work closely with you to make sure your pool surround is designed around your specification and tastes. With many pool finishes available, our surfacing specialists will confirm every detail, colour, texture, edge treatment, falls and drainage, and make sure the design is right for your needs before installation begins.

The same applies to brand new swimming pool surround surfacing and to high quality restoration of an existing surround: all work is carried out to strict industry standards, and our attention to detail and commitment to quality hold whatever the shape or size of the pool.

Curved pools, tight perimeters and awkward level changes don’t faze us.

Resin bound surfacing is laid by hand and trowelled to shape, so the finish follows your pool exactly, with no cut lines or awkward joints.

For commercial leisure sites, the surround can be delivered alongside wider site maintenance or car park surfacing works under a single contract, with the programme scheduled to fit your timescales.

Frequently asked questions

Is resin bound gravel genuinely slip resistant when wet?

Yes. The exposed aggregate texture gives excellent grip underfoot even when soaked, and because the surface is permeable, splash and rainwater drain through rather than sitting on top, reducing standing water around the pool.

Are you insured for work at commercial pools and leisure sites?

We carry £10 million public liability insurance and hold SafeContractor, CHAS and Constructionline accreditations. Certificates and documentation are available for your procurement or facilities records.

Can you restore an existing pool surround rather than replace it?

Often, yes. We carry out high quality pool restoration services where the base is sound, and full replacement where it isn't. A free site survey will tell you which route makes sense and what each will cost.

How much maintenance does a resin bound pool surround need?

Very little. There are no loose stones to scatter, weeds struggle to take hold, and routine care is an occasional sweep and wash down. It's one of the lowest maintenance poolside surfaces available.

What colours and finishes can we choose from?

A wide palette of natural aggregate colours and blends, from warm buffs to cool greys, plus a choice of edge treatments. Our specialists will confirm the design with you before installation begins so the surround suits its setting.

Can the work be scheduled around our opening season?

Yes. We schedule installations to fit your timescales, for leisure operators that usually means off season or midweek programmes, and we agree the working plan with you before we start.
