Bespoke Moleanos Pool Copings Project

The stunning design by Chris Tizzard was built by Kircher Building Services. David Kircher called Stoneworld in to help bring the design to life, with many areas requiring bespoke stone cutting to achieve the desired finish.

Using digital templating across multiple elements, Stoneworld produced pool and wall copings, steps, and shaped paving in our masonry factory — ensuring a precise fit throughout this complex landscape.

Portuguese Moleanos limestone was used for bespoke steps and wall copings close to the house, creating a refined architectural edge. This contrasts beautifully with the expansive paved areas, where Raj Hand Cut Sandstone was chosen for its complementary tone and natural character.

Around the upper koi carp pond, Raj Green hand cut sandstone paving and 38mm coping stones were installed, forming a timeless backdrop to the water feature.

The luxury swimming pool is edged with Moleanos limestone pool copings, thoughtfully tailored to the design.

Due to dramatic changes in level across the garden, any coping visible from both sides was finished with a pencil roll on both long edges — including pool, wall, and terrace copings. This detail ensures a refined look from every angle.

The luxury swimming pool is edged with Moleanos limestone pool copings. 40mm thick copings cut in two sizes: the giant arc of the roman end required larger copings of 525mm.  The straight pool copings are 300mm deep. Due to the dramatic change in levels that are a feature throughout the garden, wherever copings have been used that are viewable from both sides, both long edges have been finished with a pencil roll. This includes pool copings, wall copings and terrace copings,

Below the pool, stepped planting terraces follow magnificent curved arcs along the hillside. As planting matures, greenery cascades over the edges for a natural, established feel.

A dramatic waterfall feature is set into the slope, pouring over a striking feature stone into a koi carp pond. The retaining wall to this pond required a more substantial finish, completed with our extra-thick (50mm) tumbled sandstone slabs in 560 × 845mm format — robust, elegant, and perfectly suited to the setting.

A magnificent water feature set into the hillside, falls over a huge feature stone. The water falls into a fabulous koi carp pond. The retaining wall for this pond is thicker than the planting terraces, and requires a more sturdy coping stone.  Our Extra Thick (50mm) tumbled sandstone paving slabs in 560 x 845 mm format are the perfect finishing touch.

Attention to detail throughout this project created a fabulous landscape to be enjoyed by the owners.
