Everyone has a vision of what they would like their backyard pool and surrounding areas to look like. Perhaps you’ve had a unique swimming experience while on vacation and would like to replicate it in your own backyard. Maybe you’d like your hot tub to be an extension of the pool. Custom pools can make your dreams of a backyard paradise come true.
Limitless Possibilities
The possibilities for creating a private retreat just a few steps away from your own back door are limited only by your imagination.
Here are just a few of the options you may want to incorporate into your new pool.
Water Features
- A hidden grotto behind a cascading waterfall.
- Water features such as pool jets, sprays, bubblers, pencil jets and Roman fountains can be added.
- Rock waterfall for the sound of running water. Different kinds of waterfalls can be done. E.g. smooth water flow, rain arc, multiple stream flows.
- Sheer descent waterfalls feature a raised pool wall with a waterfall built in.
Pool Add-Ons
- A swim-up bar lets you enjoy a cool drink without getting out of the pool.
- Beach entry or gradual entry can be added for both the looks and for the ease of entry if there are health limitations.
- Tanning shelf. A custom concrete pool with a tanning shelf provides a place to sunbath while you stay cool. This is similar in construction to a beach entry except it is actually the first step of the swimming pool in about six inches of water.
- Decorative pool tile with a sea animal or underwater scene. E.g. dolphins, shells or other designs.
- Jump rocks are simply rocks from which you can jump into the pool.
- Swimming pool slides or water slides, which come with molded in plumbing so that there is a flow of water on the slide.
Pool-Side
- Landscaping. Choose from natural stone rocks and flagstone or pre-cast materials for your pool coping and patio. The possibilities are endless.
- A pool-side fire pit helps to keep guests warm on cool summer nights.
- Pool lighting comes in a variety of colors and styles.
- Outdoor kitchens let you enjoy your company while you cook.
- Arbors and gazebos add a touch of romance.
