Been thinking about putting in a pool this summer? Because if you have, that bit of sun we’ve been enjoying lately is a green light for the seasonal rush, say the good people at Lagoon Pools.

The Christchurch company are the South Island dealers for leading Australian pool maker Leisure Pools, and they know what they are talking about. Working with Leisure Pools gives them access to a big range of innovative pools that can incorporate fountains, water jets, lighting and concealed covers. In fact, if you find a photo of what you want, Lagoon Pools can make it happen. Don’t want it the same colour as everyone else’s pool? With Leisure Pools and Lagoon Pools you get a choice of seven. Sapphire Blue is the most popular colour. White with a blue fleck is a new addition to the range. Others are Aquamarine, Crystal Blue, Diamond Sand, Ebony Blue and Graphite Grey. All come with an inbuilt sparkle and shimmer effect that in different light will make your pool look like it has millions of diamonds scattered over the surface. Lagoon Pools work closely with landscapers and architects to deliver the best result, and can provide everything from a basic pool installation to a fully custom-built landscape as well. And while everyone wants to make a splash for Christmas, it’s worth thinking about getting the installation done after the big day, particularly if you are heading away. Come home to a brand new pool and summer will last till April. Sweet!
