Our Story

Welcome to Evoke Pools in Ballina—where creativity, experience and local insight come together to design stunning fibreglass pools tailored to the Northern Rivers lifestyle.


After 15 years as the trusted hands behind Splash Pool Installations, we returned home from a five-year venture across WA—bringing award-winning techniques and fresh inspiration to every project.


With over 1,000 pools installed and more than 40 years of combined experience, we’ve transformed backyards into personal retreats that reflect both beauty and functionality. Every pool we build is designed to enhance the way you live, relax, and connect.


We don’t just install pools—we craft spaces for celebration, relaxation and connection. Whether it’s a plunge pool or lap pool, your vision is our foundation.

At the heart of Evoke Pools are Dean and Sally—partners in business and in life. Together, we bring hands-on experience, transparent communication, and genuine care to every project.



Dean is your licensed builder and on-site expert—personally involved in everything from site inspection to installation and aftercare. His technical skill, eye for detail and commitment to quality ensure every pool meets the highest standards.


Sally’s focus is on planning, customer service, and creative design. Her time in WA managing desert installs alongside Dean has shaped a dynamic, solution-focused approach.


We believe in building more than pools—we build long-standing relationships with customers, subcontractors, and suppliers alike. It’s this community-focused mindset that sets us apart.

Testimonials

Robyn & Chris Gray

Dean believed us when we said we had a limited and inflexible budget, so he advised us how to get best value for our project and we are very pleased with the result. Everything went as arranged: dig day, build start, progress, even the finish line was reached as planned, so we had a pool in the ground full of water within a month. Landscaping and tiling was ours to decide. Perhaps the secret is the pre-planning that was done, so the paper work, approvals, tradies and inspections were all tied up in advance by Sally back at base. No headaches for us in the process. Highly recommended.

The team at Evoke did a very professional job in trying conditions. They made the effort to get the pool installed without delay. Sally and Dean are great communicators who kept us informed of all the steps along the way.

Thank you so much for quoting, installing and completing our new plunge pool. The transformation of the area is amazing. From the initial quote to the completion of the pool and surrounds it has been a pleasure to deal with Dean and Sally and any other tradesmen they recommended. The whole process has been smooth and any problems encountered with site were overcome in a timely and professional manner. Administration and communication of project was excellent. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. We would highly recommend Dean and Sally to any future clients.

Erin Karsten

Evoke Pools have been absolutely incredible. Responsive, professional and we definitely felt like the best value for money compared to others out there. Plus what was greatest of all is they worked around our space limitations, including craning the pool over our brick fence! It looks like it was always there! I love that they did the fencing and recommended a landscaper/tiler who they worked well with! From start to end, the process has been a pleasure and we LOVE the results! (Plus how funky is the blue pool light!)

Carlos Argent

We are so happy with our new pool. The level of service given from our first enquiry through to hand over was exceptional and we would not hesitate to recommend Evoke Pools to anyone considering installing a pool.

Vanessa Favetta

Dean and Sally from Evoke Pools felt like we were working with family to put our pool in - it was a friendly experience with lots of good communication. It seemed easy and they took care of all my questions promptly and politely every step of the way. They have so much pool-building knowledge and knew everything needed to put our big pool in, so that we felt very comfortable having them put in our pool from the start. They are a fantastic pool building team and I can highly recommend them! We love our new pool built by them for our exercise, laps and recreational fun. So glad I found this Dream Team : )
