How one outdoor expert reshaped the way Sydney renovates pools
There are a lot of pool companies in Sydney. But not many started from the ground up, literally.
Before Renew Pools, there was Amrock Landscapes. A local landscaping and outdoor construction business run by founder Mark Handley, Amrock specialised in building backyards that made sense: functional, beautiful, and built to last.
Over the years, more and more clients were asking for help fixing old pools. Cracked coping, worn interiors, non-compliant fencing. The kind of problems that traditional pool companies often avoided or only half-solved.
Mark saw the gap. And more importantly, he saw the opportunity: homeowners didn’t want to manage multiple trades. They wanted one expert team who could resurface the pool, rework the paving, fix the fence, and make it all look cohesive.
So he built it.
Today, Renew Pools is the natural evolution of Amrock’s design and construction expertise. We handle everything from structural pool repairs to luxury finishes, landscaping, lighting and compliance. We still approach every job with the same practicality, care, and long-term thinking that made Amrock trusted across the South Coast.
We didn’t set out to be just another pool company. And we’re still not. We’re the team that renovates outdoor spaces to be safer, stronger and more beautiful, top to bottom, inside and out.
Why We Made the Switch
While Amrock delivered hundreds of successful projects, pool renovation required its own identity. Renew Pools was created to focus exclusively on concrete pool refurbishments and upgrades. The process is different. The regulations are tighter. And the design possibilities are greater.
Renew was a chance to bring together decades of construction knowledge with a new level of specialisation, giving homeowners a simpler, smarter way to update their pool.
What Hasn’t Changed
The same team. The same eye for detail. The same builder-licenced, fully managed approach.
We still believe in:
-
- Clear, honest communication
-
- Doing things properly the first time
-
- Respecting your time, home and investment
What’s changed is our focus, from full outdoor builds to laser-sharp pool expertise.
The Bottom Line
If you’re planning a pool renovation, don’t settle for surface-level updates. Work with a team that understands structure, design, and longevity.
We started in the dirt. Now we transform pools.
