Pool design
Shape, size, depth and position worked out around sun, views, access for machinery and how you will use it.
Read more about pool designPN Landscapes designs and builds outdoor swimming pools in Uckfield and East Sussex, handling excavation, the pool structure, filtration and heating equipment, paved surrounds and landscaping as one project.
We build swimming pools the way we build gardens: as one project, with one team. PN Landscapes excavates, constructs the pool, installs the equipment and then paves and landscapes around it, so the pool sits naturally in the garden instead of looking added on.
Since 1997 we have built family pools, lap pools and plunge pools across Sussex and Surrey, including a cliff-top pool overlooking the sea.

A pool is a system, and each part needs to be sized for the volume of water. We supply and install:
- Liners and finishes in a range of colours and patterns
- Filtration and circulation matched to the pool volume
- Heating sized for the pool and how you use it
- Steps, benches and seating built into the pool
- Covers, from solar covers to automatic slatted and safety covers
- Control units, sensors and alarms for water quality, temperature and safety
- Underwater lighting
How a pool project runs
Survey and design
We check levels, ground conditions, access, drainage and services, and agree the pool type, size and position.
Excavation
The hole is dug and spoil removed or reused on site to shape the garden.
Structure
The pool shell is built or craned in, with pipework, plant and electrics installed by qualified trades.
Surround and landscaping
Coping and paving are laid with falls away from the water, followed by walls, fencing and planting.
Commissioning
The pool is filled, balanced and heated, and we show you how to run and look after it.

Questions we are asked
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for an outdoor swimming pool?
Often not. An outdoor pool in a back garden is usually permitted development, provided buildings and enclosures cover no more than half the garden. Listed buildings, conservation areas and the High Weald National Landscape have tighter rules, so we check each site.
How long does it take to build a pool?
It depends on the pool type, ground conditions and weather. A liner or one-piece pool is typically on site for a couple of months including the surround; larger schemes take longer.
What is the best time of year to start?
Autumn and winter starts mean the pool is ready for the first warm weather. Spring starts are popular, so they book up early.
Can you renovate or landscape around an existing pool?
Yes. We replace coping and paving, rebuild terraces and steps, and re-landscape around older pools.
