Maintaining Your Poolside & Paving for Summer

Get Your Pool Area Summer-Ready

As summer approaches, it’s not just your pool water that needs attention — your surrounding poolside and paving areas deserve care too. These surfaces face constant exposure to sunlight, chlorine, and foot traffic, which can lead to fading, cracks, or surface wear if left untreated.

With the right maintenance routine and protective products, you can keep your entire pool area looking sharp, safe, and inviting all season long.

1. Inspect for Surface Damage or Discolouration

Start with a quick visual check of your paving and pool deck. Look for early signs of wear such as cracks, chalky residue, or fading colour.
Areas that receive full sun or frequent water exposure often deteriorate faster, especially around the pool edges and coping zones.

Addressing these early prevents more costly repairs later.

2. Clean Off Dirt, Mould, and Algae

Poolside surfaces tend to accumulate grime, sunscreen residue, and mould. These not only dull the appearance of your paving but can also create slippery spots.

Use a mild detergent or specialised paving cleaner to scrub the surface, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage coatings or nearby pool paint.

For best results, give your pool area a good wash-down every few weeks during summer.

3. Reseal to Protect Against Heat and Moisture

Sealing your paving helps preserve its colour and durability under harsh Australian sun. It also prevents water absorption that can cause discolouration, cracks, or algae growth.

👉 Explore our Sealers & Repairs Collection for high-quality sealants and restoration products designed to protect your poolside surfaces.

A fresh coat of sealer every few years keeps your paving resilient and easier to clean.

4. Enhance the Look with Luxapool® Finishes

If your pool surrounds are starting to look tired, consider refreshing them with decorative, slip-resistant finishes from Luxapool®.

These coatings offer UV protection, weather resistance, and a wide range of colours to complement your pool area beautifully.

5. Keep Up with Regular Pool Maintenance

Maintaining your poolside also means caring for the pool itself. Balanced water chemistry and clean surfaces reduce splashing of harsh chemicals that can stain or degrade surrounding paving.

6. Create a Safe and Stylish Entertaining Space

Your pool area should be more than functional — it should be a relaxing, safe retreat.
Add non-slip coatings around high-traffic areas, maintain proper drainage, and keep furniture and accessories clean and secure. With a little attention, your poolside will stay cool, attractive, and ready for summer gatherings.

Keep Your Entire Pool Area Protected This Summer

Your poolside and paving play just as big a role in your outdoor experience as the pool itself. With regular cleaning, sealing, and care, you’ll maintain both beauty and performance for years to come.
