It’s a great time to plan that backyard swimming pool and spa you’ve always wanted! Improved construction techniques and new technology have made swimming pool design more luxurious, functional and enjoyable.

Some of the newest swimming pool trends can be included in your design

Infinity Pools

A must have for luxury, pools and resorts,. This feature, also called Horizon Overflow and Vanishing Edges, because it gives the effect of being able to swim into the horizon, created to allow water to spill over the edge of a shortened pool wall into a receiving basin below.

Tanning Ledges

Tanning Ledges, also called Cabo Shelf and Baja Shelf, is a shallow, usually just a few inches, located near the edge of the pool, with a broad enough area to fit lounge chairs and umbrella. It is an inviting place for children to play and adults to cool down and relax without diving in.

Beach Entries

A great feature for young children and adults who like the feel of walking in the ocean. The pool floor is sloped so you are able to gradually descend deeper into the water.

Plunge Pools

Definitely one of the hottest trends, perfect for smaller backyards. They are also known as swim spas, combining a pool with a spa in a compact design. They are usually less expensive than a full size pool.

Glass Tiles and Fire Features

Both can make an amazing statement. Glass tiles create a stylish decor, they come in many colors with shimmering qualities that enhance the light. Gas powered fire features add instant warmth, ambiance and a campfire feel.
