Pool Design and Structure
Traditional pools have a shallow end, a deep end, and distinct edges. Today’s pools are more luxuries and family friendly. There is no need to climb stairs to get in or out with a beach entry, it’s as easy as walking into the ocean.
Tanning or Lounging edges are a big trend. A shallow ledge, usually about 12 inches deep or less, perfect for a chase lounge, fun with children, and relaxing.
Perimeter overflow is very relaxing with a calming sound. Similar to a fountain, water overflows at the edge of the pool into a basin, then recycled back into the pool. They are beautiful and usually self cleaning.
Luxurious Tile
Instead of plan concrete swimming pool, the newest trend is stone or glass tile. The patterns and colors enhance your swimming experience and create a luxurious spa like feel. Whether it’s just an accent or the entire pool they look amazing.
Water and Fire
Fire bowls are a hot trend. The elegant appearance of light from the fire has a fascinating effect on the water at night. It also has a warm calming effect on those chilly nights.
Water Features and Hydrotherapy Jets
Transform your backyard into a dream oasis complete with the visual effect of a water fall and the tranquil sound of water flowing. There are many options when it comes tow water features from the simple waterfall to the water cascading out of boulders.
