This Artarmon poolside side access had tired old pavers, drainage issues, and no real structure for the narrow garden edge. The owners wanted the paving replaced, the water managed properly, and a cleaner side garden bed built along the boundary.

We removed the old paving, corrected the drainage, built a new retaining wall to form the side garden bed, and finished the area with new pavers, mondo grass, and planting. The space now drains properly and reads as a finished part of the outdoor area rather than a leftover strip beside the pool.

Case Study Details

The site issue, the work completed, and the outcome visible in the project photos

The site issue

A narrow poolside access area had tired paving, drainage problems, and no finished structure along the boundary garden edge.

Site constraints

The side access was narrow and needed careful sequencing Drainage had to be corrected before new paving went in The garden bed and retaining edge needed to fit beside the pool area

Work completed

Scope: Remove old paving, Correct drainage through the side area, Build a new retaining wall for the garden bed, Install new pavers, Add mondo grass and planting. Sequence: Lift the old paving and assess the drainage issue Correct the water movement before the new surface was installed Build the retaining edge to form the side garden bed Lay the new pavers and finish the bed with mondo grass and planting

Outcome and aftercare

The side access now drains properly, has a cleaner paved surface, and reads as a finished poolside garden area rather than an unused strip. The paved area should be kept clear of debris, and the new planting needs early watering while it settles beside the poolside access.
