Back in 1976, Steve Lord picked up a shovel and started building pools across the Peninsula- one at a time, by hand.
He cared about the details, the people, and doing things properly. Word spread, and so did his reputation for honest work and lasting quality.
Forty years later, his son Matt joined him, continuing the same tradition with a modern twist. Blending design, innovation, and a deep respect for the craft. What began as one man’s trade has become a family legacy built on trust, workmanship, and the art of building something that lasts.
With a strong focus on customer experience, Coastal Pools and Spas delivers around 20–30 bespoke swimming pools each year across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula- allowing every project the time, detail, and personal attention it deserves.
Still proudly family owned and operated, Coastal continues to build the kind of pools we’d want in our own backyards, with honesty, precision, and a commitment to creating spaces that bring people together.
