Designing Award Winning Pools (Scott Wynd – TLC Pools) 

Friday – Sat – Sun 3pm

Scott Wynd started his career over 20 years ago as a landscape and pool contractor. Whilst building landscapes for clients Scott quickly realised that landscapes weren’t simply about having something pretty to look out upon from the house. They were about people, and more importantly, they were about how people interact with their landscape and how that in turn improves how we relate to each other.

For Scott, a landscape and pool should enhance our lives and bring something unique, something personal, to our outdoor spaces. You will be able to tap into over 20 years of experience and numerous awards including several gold medals at the prestigious Chelsea Garden Show.
