The Pool Design Process

Having your own custom pool is a luxury and will make you the envy of your friends and neighbors. Our team of highly-skilled pool designers and builders will work with you every step of the way to make sure you absolutely love the finished result. During the pool design process, we will guide you as you choose exactly how you want your new pool to look and function.

Here are some of the choices you will make during the process of designing and building your swimming pool:

Big Picture Design

The first step of the design process is a consultation with one of our pool builders where we will discuss how you and your family plan to use your pool. We will then determine the type of pool that will best meet your needs.

Your pool should integrate perfectly with your backyard and should complement the architectural style of your home. We build traditional, contemporary, and infinity-edge pools and spas. Beyond these larger categories, you will be able to choose the size, shape, and depth of your pool.

Water Features

After you determine the overall size and shape of your pool, you will be able to choose water features and other design elements to enhance your pool and make it truly your own.

Some of the features you may choose to include in your swimming pool design are:

Spillover Spas

Your pool and spa should integrate with each other to create a harmonious design. A spillover spa has water that flows over the edge of the hot tub and into your pool.

Rain Curtains

A rain curtain is a pool feature that creates the illusion of rainfall with a thin flow of water. It can connect your spa to your pool or can flow from a wall.

Waterfalls

A waterfall adds natural elegance to your pool design and is a popular choice for traditional pools. This feature is relaxing to watch and looks gorgeous.

Fountains

A pool fountain can be simple or extravagant depending on your preferences. As with any other element of your pool, we will work closely with you to find the best type of fountain.

In addition to these aesthetic features, we will also discuss add-ons that improve the function of your pool. These include an in-floor cleaning system, a variable speed pool pump, LED lights, and more. We will clearly explain your options and help you make the best decision for your needs and desires.

Landscape Design and Outdoor Living

Once we design your custom pool, we will help you create a backyard that perfectly complements your swimming pool.

Depending on your budget and how you plan to use your outdoor living space, this can include a variety of different features:

Landscaping

Whether you prefer a natural desert landscape or a tropical oasis, we can help you select the best plants and landscape design to help your pool stand out.

Fire Pits

Imagine relaxing on a cool winter night with your family around a beautiful fire pit. We can turn this dream into a reality with a custom fire pit and outdoor lounging area.

Outdoor Kitchen or BBQ Island

If you love to host parties or want a new kitchen area to use, we can design and build a gorgeous outdoor kitchen or BBQ island.
