Since swimming pools remind many people of mountain lakes and tropical lagoons, features like rock formations, grottos, weeping walls and waterfalls can be added to their poolscapes.  Ideally, if you want to create an elaborate setting, you should incorporate all desired features into your original pool plan. We use real moss rock boulders.

You've probably seen this effect at a grand resort. While the unique design creates the illusion of being at the beach, it also makes it easy for most folks to get into and out of the pool. For physically disabled individuals, the gentle slope allows for entry while using a wheelchair. For youngsters, the gradual introduction to water reduces any fear that may exist.

Fountains have been popular ever since ancient Romans used them to slow down the flow of water coming off the aqueducts into the cities of Europe. Thankfully, today's versions are a lot easier to build and to install. We can offer you a custom system.

Although popular at typical resorts, this feature is the highlight of upscale swimming pools. The swim-up bar can have a number of amenities, including underwater benches and a roof system that protects swimmers from the direct rays of the sun. Whatever way it is built, when party time begins, it is definately the place to be...

Islands add intrigue to pools, and can be as small or as large as you wish. Besides giving your pool an unusual look, they create new opportunities for fun and games.

under water lights

Most in-ground pools have at least one underwater light, usually at the deep end of the pool, and even one light can brighten the entire pool. The effect at night is shear beauty. Our standard light is a SAM light; SAM lights change colors during operation automatically.

Fiber-optic lighting can transform any pool into a special place. If this is something you have in mind, make sure to include it during the initial construction of the pool.

The love seat is similar to that of an underwater bench, but instead of protruding into the actual pool area, it is built into the coping or deck area.  The love seat replaces the old ladder and handrail entry into your swimming pool.

Construction of the Bridges, like islands and swim-up bars, add atmosphere to any pool. A bridge is ideal for those who like poolside entertaining and for those whose backyards can accommodate this special extra touch.

A cozy corner is just as it sounds. It is usually found out of the way and in a small area where those who are inclined can gather for quiet conversation or contemplation.

Many in-ground pool owners prefer a built-in bench seat along one of the sidewalls. It is usually formed out of the same materials as the sidewall. The bench is especially helpful for swimmers who tire easily or for those would like to stop and rest for a bit.  The underwater bench is a popular addition next to the spa.

One of the hottest trends in pool designs is the vanishing edge pool. This feature is created on one or more of a pool's sidewalls, with the water falling into a trough or channel (which is actually a skimmer and part of the pool's water filtering system). Many of these pools are seen near natural water areas, with the vanishing edge seemingly dropping its water into the natural landscape below.

Creating Niagara Falls in your backyard can be expensive, but creating something that emulates a real waterfall is quite possible. We work with the best landscape architects to give you almost anything you want, from a small waterfall feature to a raging stream that become the backdrop of your new pool.

Include a diving board for extra fun or if you have divers in your family who want to sharpen competitive skills. It is imperative to follow both the pool builder's depth recommendations and the diving board manufacturer's safety guidelines and city building codes.

Many in-ground pools can be built with an integrated spa as part of the package. This allows the swimming pool's heating and filtration system to service the spa as well.
