Horizon Pools

SPASA SPOTLIGHT

HORIZON POOLS

Apool or spa is a lifestyle choice. It’s about fun, family and enjoyment and these are the qualities we bring to your pool building experience. When you choose Horizon Pools, you’ll be treated like a part of the family from the moment you first get in touch. Your satisfaction is our success and we promise to make the process easy, efficient and stress-free.

The inclusion of a raised back wall and three water spouts added a new dimension to what could have been a very simple looking pool, instead making it a centrepiece of the rear yard. The raised wall adds depth to the space and the running water spouts create a sense of tranquillity. P: 03 9393 5700 E: OFFICE@HORIZONPOOLS.COM.AU W: HORIZONPOOLS.COM.AU
