Designed for the Way You Live

Great pool designs start with great conversations—and that means asking the right questions from the very beginning. At Gibson Family Pools, it’s never about pushing a one-size-fits-all solution.

Instead, it’s about understanding how you want to live, relax, and connect in your outdoor space. Will the kids be using the pool daily after school? Are you planning to host weekend barbecues and evening get-togethers? Do you need a design that’s low-maintenance and future-proof? These real-life details shape the direction of your design, ensuring the result is both beautiful and genuinely functional.

With years of experience creating pool designs across Port Macquarie, the team brings a down-to-earth, no-fuss approach that makes the process clear and stress-free. They’ll talk you through every detail—from pool shape and finishes to water features, filtration systems, paving, fencing and more.

Whether you’re building from scratch or transforming your backyard, a thoughtful design is the key to a smooth build and years of enjoyment.
