Built Tough for Mackay’s Tropics

Rain, shine, or the odd cyclone, concrete can take it all. Unlike other materials that buckle under pressure (or humidity), concrete stands strong, making it the perfect choice for Mackay’s unpredictable weather.

A Breeze to Maintain

Let’s be real – no one wants to spend their weekends scrubbing or sealing pool surrounds. With concrete, you won’t have to. It’s low maintenance, easy to clean, and keeps looking great with minimal effort. More time for a dip and a cold drink by the pool!

Stylish Enough to Make the Neighbours Jealous

Concrete doesn’t have to mean boring. With a range of finishes, colours, and textures available, you can create a pool area that’s sleek, modern, and totally “you.” Whether you want exposed aggregate for a bit of texture or a smooth coloured finish, the design options are endless.

Safe and Slip-Resistant

Let’s talk safety. Concrete can be finished with slip-resistant textures, giving you peace of mind when the kids are racing each other around the pool. Stylish and safe? That’s a win-win.

Cool Under Pressure (and Hot Mackay Sun)

With the right finish, concrete pool surrounds can reflect heat, keeping your feet happy even during Mackay’s sweltering summer days. No more hopping across hot surfaces to get to the pool!

Cost-Effective and Long-Lasting

Investing in concrete pool surrounds is kind to your wallet in the long run. Its durability means fewer repairs and replacements, so you can splash out on pool toys instead.

Finishes	Pros	Cons
Coloured Concrete: Bold, Beautiful, and Brilliant	UV-stable colours mean no fading under Mackay’s blazing sun. It’s also low-maintenance and perfect for modern or tropical-inspired designs.	Lighter colours can show dirt more easily, but hey, a quick rinse with the hose and you’re good to go!
Want a pop of colour to make your pool area stand out? Coloured concrete is the way to go. From earthy tones to vibrant hues, we can match your pool surround to your landscaping, home exterior, or even your personality.
Exposed Aggregate: Textured Elegance That Lasts	Slip-resistant and tough as nails – ideal for Mackay families with kids who think the pool is an Olympic training ground.	It’s a little rougher on bare feet compared to smoother finishes, but nothing a pair of thongs (or tough Aussie toes) can’t handle.
For a pool surround that’s as durable as it is stylish, exposed aggregate is a top contender. With tiny stones or pebbles embedded in the surface, this finish adds texture, traction, and a touch of sophistication.
Textured Finishes: Smooth Operators with a Twist	Customisable to your liking, with options that mimic stone, timber, or geometric designs. Also offers slip resistance and a cool touch for hot Mackay days.	Slightly higher up-front cost for the added pizzazz, but well worth it for the wow factor!
Textured concrete finishes offer a happy medium between sleek and functional. With various patterns and imprints available, you can achieve the perfect balance of style and practicality.

We’ve all seen it – kids sprinting around the pool like they’re in the final lap of the Mackay Marathon. While it’s fun to watch, safety around the pool is no joke. At Fortress Concreting Mackay, we specialise in slip-resistant concrete finishes that keep your pool area safe without sacrificing style.

Why Slip Resistance Matters

Water and smooth surfaces? Not exactly a match made in heaven. A slippery pool surround is an accident waiting to happen, but with the right finish, you can avoid the dreaded belly-flop onto the pavement. Our slip-resistant options make sure you and your loved ones can enjoy the pool without worrying about unexpected wipeouts.

The Slip-Resistant Options We Offer

Exposed Aggregate

This textured finish isn’t just pretty – it’s practical. The embedded stones and pebbles provide natural grip, making it one of the safest choices for wet areas. Plus, it adds a dash of sophistication to your poolside.

Perfect for: Families with energetic kids or anyone who values safety and style in equal measure.

Brushed Concrete

With its subtle grooves, brushed concrete creates a slip-resistant surface that’s as sleek as it is safe. It’s a no-fuss option that works beautifully in Mackay’s sunny backyard settings.

Perfect for: Homeowners who want a clean, modern look with built-in safety.

Textured and Imprinted Finishes

These finishes combine aesthetics with functionality. By adding patterns or imprints, we create a surface that’s visually appealing and grippy enough to keep everyone on their feet.

Perfect for: Those looking for a unique design without compromising on safety.

Safety Without Compromise

At Fortress Concreting Mackay, we believe your pool surround should be both safe and stunning. Our slip-resistant finishes are designed to handle Mackay’s tropical conditions while keeping your family and friends safe.

So, whether you’re planning epic pool parties or just want peace of mind, let us help you create a pool area where fun meets functionality. Give us a call today and let’s get started on a safer, more stylish pool surround!

Materials	Cost	Suitability for Mackay
Concrete: The All-Rounder That Gets the Job Done	Low initial cost, and even lower maintenance expenses.	Handles heat, humidity, and wet conditions like a pro.
Concrete is the Swiss Army knife of pool surround materials. It’s affordable, durable, and customisable, making it the perfect fit for Mackay’s tropical lifestyle. Whether you want a sleek, smooth surface or something textured and slip-resistant, concrete delivers without breaking the bank.
Pavers: Pretty but Pricey	Higher upfront cost and ongoing maintenance.	Can get hot underfoot and may shift over time in our climate.
Pavers offer a classy, cobblestone vibe, but they can get expensive fast – both to install and maintain. Over time, the gaps between pavers can become a haven for weeds, making upkeep a bit of a headache.
Timber Decks: Stylish but High Maintenance	Moderate to high, with ongoing upkeep.	Not ideal for long-term durability; also prone to becoming slippery when wet.
Timber decks bring a natural, rustic charm, but they’re high maintenance in Mackay’s climate. Between the sun, rain, and humidity, timber requires regular sealing and care to prevent warping and fading.
Travertine: Luxe but Expensive	High initial investment, but lower maintenance.	Performs well but might not fit every budget.
Travertine screams luxury, but it also comes with a price tag to match. While it’s naturally slip-resistant and cool underfoot, the cost of materials and installation can quickly skyrocket.
Traditional Tiles: Glossy but Fragile	Moderate to high, with potentially expensive repairs.	Risk of cracking due to temperature changes and general wear and tear.
Tiles offer a polished, elegant look, but they’re slippery when wet and prone to cracking under extreme conditions. Repairs can be costly, making them less practical for Mackay’s climate.

A concrete pool surround is the ultimate canvas – solid, reliable, and ready to shine. But to turn your pool area into a true backyard oasis, it’s all about the finishing touches. Thoughtful landscaping can transform your pool surround from functional to fabulous, creating a seamless outdoor space that’s easy on the eyes and perfect for relaxation.

The Perfect Pair: Concrete and Greenery

Concrete and lush greenery are a match made in Mackay heaven. The clean lines of your pool surround provide the perfect contrast to the natural shapes and textures of plants. Think tropical palms swaying gently in the breeze or vibrant flowers adding pops of colour against your sleek poolside design. It’s backyard bliss with a Mackay twist.

Deck It Out with Natural Features

Why stop at plants? Add natural elements like rocks, gravel paths, or timber accents to soften the look of your pool surround and make it feel more organic. A few strategically placed boulders or a neat stone border can add character and depth to your outdoor space.

Shade That Works for You

Mackay’s tropical sun is no joke, so a bit of shade is always welcome. Incorporate pergolas, shade sails, or even a cluster of tall plants to keep things cool and comfortable. Not only does this make your pool area more inviting, but it also protects your concrete surround from the harshest rays.

Light It Up

The fun doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down. Landscape lighting can highlight your pool surround and landscaping features, creating a magical atmosphere for evening swims or poolside gatherings. LED strip lights, spotlights on feature plants, or even solar-powered lanterns are easy ways to add ambience.

A Cohesive Outdoor Look

By integrating landscaping with your concrete pool surround, you’ll create a backyard that’s more than just a pool – it’s an experience. The right mix of plants, natural elements, and thoughtful design will bring harmony to your space and make it feel like your personal slice of paradise.

At Fortress Concreting Mackay, we don’t just pour concrete – we help you envision how your pool surround fits into the bigger picture. Let’s work together to create a pool area that’s functional, beautiful, and totally tailored to your style. Give us a call today, and let’s start turning your backyard dreams into reality!

Step 1: The Initial Consultation – Let’s Talk Poolside Dreams

It all starts with a friendly chat. Give us a call, and we’ll discuss your vision, needs, and any Pinterest boards you’ve been secretly hoarding. Whether you know exactly what you want or need a little inspiration, we’re here to help.

Step 2: On-Site Visit and Quote – No Surprises, Just Clear Costs

We’ll swing by your place (don’t worry, we’ll call first) to scope out the site and chat about design options. Once we’ve got all the details, we’ll provide a detailed, transparent quote. No hidden costs, no fine print – just clear, honest pricing.

Step 3: Preparation and Planning – Setting the Stage

Before we start pouring, we’ll make sure the site is prepped to perfection. This includes everything from levelling the ground to setting up precise forms. We take our time to get this part right because a great foundation means a flawless finish.

Step 4: Installation Day – Time to Shine

This is where the magic happens. Our experienced team will arrive bright and early, ready to transform your backyard. Whether we’re creating a smooth coloured finish, a slip-resistant surface, or an exposed aggregate masterpiece, you can expect attention to detail at every step. We measure twice, pour once, and ensure everything is level and perfect.

Step 5: The Finishing Touches – It’s All in the Details

Once the concrete is set and looking spectacular, we’ll add those final touches that take it from great to exceptional. Whether it’s sealing the surface or adding textured finishes, we make sure your pool surround is both beautiful and functional.

Step 6: Clean-Up Crew – Leaving No Trace

When we’re done, you won’t be left with a construction site. We tidy up every speck of dust and debris, leaving your pool area spotless and ready to impress. The only thing you’ll notice is your stunning new pool surround.

Step 7: Post-Installation Support – We’re Here for You

Got questions after we’re done? Need tips on maintenance? We’re just a call away. Our commitment to quality doesn’t end when we pack up our tools – we’re here to ensure you’re thrilled with your pool surround for years to come.

Myth 1: Concrete Pool Surrounds Are Boring

Sure, plain grey concrete isn’t going to win any beauty contests – but who said your pool surround has to be plain? With options like coloured concrete, exposed aggregate, and textured finishes, you can create a pool area that’s anything but boring. Concrete is the chameleon of materials – it can be sleek, bold, elegant, or even a little quirky.

Myth 2: Concrete Cracks Easily

This one gets around like a bad rumour. The truth? When done right (and we always do it right), concrete pool surrounds are built to last. Proper installation, curing, and quality materials mean your pool surround will hold up against Mackay’s weather and the daily wear and tear of poolside fun.

Myth 3: Concrete is Too Slippery for Pool Areas

While wet concrete can be slippery, the key is the right finish. We offer slip-resistant options like brushed concrete and exposed aggregate to keep everyone on their feet, even when the splash zone gets wild. Safety doesn’t have to come at the cost of style.

Myth 4: Concrete Pool Surrounds Are High Maintenance

Let’s be honest – concrete is one of the lowest-maintenance materials out there. A quick sweep, an occasional rinse, and maybe a reseal every few years are all it takes to keep your pool surround looking top-notch. Compare that to constant sanding and sealing for timber or weed wrangling with pavers, and concrete is a clear winner.

Myth 5: Concrete Can’t Handle Mackay’s Climate

Some people think Mackay’s tropical weather is too much for concrete. Not true! With proper installation and sealing, concrete thrives in all conditions – rain, shine, and everything in between. It’s tough enough to handle our heat and humidity with ease.

Myth 6: It’s All or Nothing with Concrete

Think concrete is just a giant slab of monotony? Think again. Concrete is incredibly customisable. From decorative borders to mixed textures and colours, you can have a pool surround that’s uniquely yours.

Your pool isn’t just a place to cool off – it’s the heart of your backyard, the stage for family barbecues, summer splashes, and quiet evening dips. Why settle for a pool surround that’s anything less than extraordinary? With Fortress Concreting Mackay, you’ll get more than just a concrete slab – you’ll get a safe, stylish, and durable space that elevates every moment by the pool.

Imagine the compliments from your mates when they see your pool surround. Picture the peace of mind knowing it’s slip-resistant and built to last. Feel the pride of having a backyard that looks straight out of a magazine – all without breaking the bank or sweating over maintenance.

Now’s the time to make it happen. Don’t wait another season to create the pool area you’ve been dreaming of. We promise top-notch craftsmanship, clear communication, and a pool surround that will make you wish you’d called us sooner.
