Due to this property’s very tight position available for a pool, most pool builders would walk away from a project such as this due to the high level of manual labour required. However, when faced with this level site with restricted access for machines, Bob Biernat and the Freedom Pools & Spas team approached the project with enthusiasm.

Situated in Alkimos, a coastal suburb of Perth, these homeowners had a simple requirement from their pool: they just wanted to swim. “Depending on what you want from your pool, if it’s for swimming, lap pools are an obvious choice,” explains Bob. “Otherwise, for entertaining, you may want to look for pools with bench seating. If you have the room, bigger is always better when it comes to pools. Whatever you are looking for, Freedom Pools & Spas will have a pool or spa for you.”

The couple’s 11m-long rectangular fibreglass lap pool more than meets their swimming needs in stylish fashion. “I particularly like the long, sleek design for swimming laps, black tile line to keep swimmers in their lane, and the S&R Smith grab rail for ease of access into the pool — the client fitted this,” says Bob.

As their site was extremely tight and had limited space to store backfill, soil was barrowed out to the front of the house and barrowed back to complete the installation. The limited space also made it very difficult to position the pool into the hole, but with steady hands and patience, the Freedom Pools & Spas team came through with a flawless installation.

Landscaping is an essential consideration when building a new home and is required by most councils and developers as a necessary part of the approval process. This, along with a desire to offer people a truly complete home and finished landscaping, is what lead award-winning Sydney home builder Wisdom Homes to launch its own pool and landscaping company, Wisdom Pool and Landscapes, in 2011. Having the two companies work in conjunction to design and build homes and outdoor spaces enables the teams to create a custom-designed, new lifestyle for each client, as well as provide a more streamlined building process.

Wisdom Pools and Landscapes offers its clients many options when it comes to swimming pools, including custom concrete and a range of fibreglass packages, and also has experience in pool renovations. Water features, integrated spas, pool fencing, tiling and decking are all part of the service offering as well as ongoing pool maintenance. “We work with a range of budgets, large and small, to design a custom pool that fits your unique home and lifestyle,” says Michael Rutherford, pools and landscapes sales and estimating manager at Wisdom Pools and Landscapes.

True to their belief in the benefits of delivering a completed project, Wisdom Pools and Landscapes also offers landscaping services such as fencing, turf, planting, decking, outdoor kitchens, fireplace designs, pergolas and more. Recently the company was recognised for its achievements in outdoor design by winning the 2020 SPASA NSW award for Best Display Pool/Centre. It also won the gold award for the 2018 SPASA NSW award for Best Pool Renovation over $25,000.

Wisdom Pools and Landscapes services are available to the wider market, not just those building a new home with Wisdom Homes. “We provide services to existing dwellings, knock-down / rebuild projects as well as new homes,” explains Michael. “Given our experience working with Wisdom Homes, we have extensive experience with new builds and are experts in creating an outdoor space to match each client’s lifestyle and entertaining needs while also harmonising with the home.”

Wisdom Pools and Landscapes was established in 2011 to offer Wisdom Homes’ clients the convenience of adding landscaping to receive a truly finished home. Today, Wisdom Pools and Landscapes is supported by a multi-disciplinary team, offering a comprehensive pool and landscaping service, from design through to construction and maintenance. “We take great pride in offering this convenience so you can enjoy a whole new lifestyle, all at once,” explains Michael.

Each pool and landscape is designed individually to suit your unique home. “Our philosophy is to create inspiring pool designs that seamlessly integrate with your home,” says Michael.

Wisdom Pools and Landscapes services Sydney, including Western Sydney regions, up to the Northern Beaches and down to the Sutherland Shire and outer areas including parts of the Wollondilly region and parts of the South Coast region down to Shell Cove. The company also builds pools and landscapes in the Illawarra area.

Wisdom Pools and Landscapes has pool and landscape display centres in Oran Park, Marsden Park, Wongawilli (all open daily from 10am to 5pm) and Box Hill (open Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 1pm).
