our story

Why our business means so much more than creating an income

It all started back in 1981, well that's as far back as we can remember!

Our love for outdoor spaces and water goes way back to when we were kids. It wasn’t so much the flowers and nature we were interested in, but the fun adventures and games we could create.

In fact, there wasn’t any grass left in our garden growing up! We would spend all day on a Saturday playing football between two wooden trestles as goals, pretending to be star players at the twin towers of Wembley. We would climb the cherry trees and silver birches and pretend to be Tarzan. We would watch Robin Hood and make bows and arrows, or wooden swords to have epic fights on the crazy paving patio. We dug trenches and put wood over them, backfilling them with soil and would spend hours crawling underneath the ground like we were in a war film, firing air rifles and catapults. We would make swamps and aerial run slides and camps in the “old lady’s” derelict garage. Our bikes would transform into Kawasaki motorbikes and we’d ride side by side and pretend to be the chips police men, or play burnouts to see who would crash first on the dusty brands-hatch track. When the street skips were left on the roads, we would forage for anything we could turn into a go kart or den.

This is when we realised your garden could become anything you wanted it to be... as long as you had the vision, anything was possible to create a magical experience.

It’s this culture that we have taken into our business since we started operating professionally together in 1999. We are very proud to be a family business and, being a smaller company, we can ensure we provide excellent quality of service to each and every one of our customers, many of whom we can now call friends

What orbro means

We get asked all the time what orbro means, ... so let us tell you. It's the initials from Olly and Richard and then Bro for brothers. What has this got to do with gardens we bet you're thinking? Nothing really, but let us explain why it’s such an important name to us, why it’s so influential to our business and how it influences your dream pool or garden...

It all began when we built a family pond with our Dad at the weekends. Our Dad was a structural engineer and he taught us many different skills while we were growing up. He had many years in the construction and manufacturing industries and provided us and our customers with lots of help and support.

Olly left school and was accepted on a horticulture apprenticeship. He learnt all about plant conservation, landscape restoration, soil management, landscaping, garden design, construction and maintenance as well as arboriculture. He then went on to work in this area, gaining huge amounts of experience from a very young age. Olly and our brother Richard had planned to create a high-end Landscaping company, using Olly's extensive horticultural knowledge and Richard's flare for business. Unfortunately these plans changed when Richard took his own life in 1999. It was this tragedy that brought our careers together.

After school Ben studied art and packaging design and worked for brands like Sainsburys, Waitrose and Onken. This background, along with his natural eye for design, colours and form, served him well when he later went on to do a Landscape design course

We then put together our experience and skills to create orbro. We decided to keep the name Olly and Richard had planned, as a memorial to our brother. It's a name we want to last forever for personal reasons and a name we want our clients to remember, for our quality and creativity. We also want to be remembered for the fun and memories we create for our clients, through our pools and gardens. Every job we undertake is built knowing that orbro did it, with a combination of hard work and attention to detail.

We love our jobs. We get to create magical places, with Swimming Pools and landscapes for families to experience what we had growing up - memories that will be with you for life.

the SolidPool system

The SolidPool system

As the UK distributor of SolidPool, we build with the system on a daily basis, so you know we are the experts. SolidPool is an innovative, lightweight, permanent shuttering and construction block system for pools, walls and water features.

We believe it’s the future of pool building, because this unique system allows pool shells to be built quickly, whilst not compromising the build quality. It’s also better for the environment being a recycled system the uses less concrete than other building methods. Plus, the SolidPool system is kinder to pool contractors as it is a lightweight system. This means you’re likely to get a faster and better build because the contractors aren’t breaking their backs building with the system.

The SolidPool system enables your pool to be easily customised to any shape and size, thanks to our three different blocks. It is a simple clip together system, which means it’s suitable for pool contractors and even those who want to build their own pool. The simplicity also leads to less room for errors which could compromise your pool quality. Because of the system design, it can be built all year round too, which means weather doesn’t tend to slow down a SolidPool build down. The different blocks in the system mean you can have have any finish or liner you want and there is no need to waste time or money on rendering the pool either.

Liner block

The liner block is available in two sizes 440mm and 530mm tall. The smooth front to the block gives you a perfectly flat face for the liner to sit on, so there’s no need to render the blocks smooth.

Tiled block

The tiled block is available in single or double sided. The perforated front allows the concrete to be buffed when poured, leaving a perfectly smooth face ready for tiling. No need for extra rendering costs.

Flex block

The revolutionary flex block enables you to create seamless curves effortlessly.

Available for both liner and tiled pools, walls and hot tubs. The block can be bent to create a minimum 2.4m diameter.
