Waterfalls
Built using beautiful natural stone to complement your hardscape, our pool waterfalls add the unique tranquility of nature to any custom pool.
Vanishing edges
Also known as “infinity pools,” vanishing edges allow pool water to spill over the edge, creating a stylish, edgeless look from within the pool.
Water Descents & Rain Showers
Often integrated as a spillover from a spa into a pool, a water descent is a beautiful sheet of falling water that adds tranquility and visual impact.
LED Lighting
We specialize in advanced low-voltage LED lighting systems, illuminating your custom pool and spa, decking, and all additional water features.
Fountains & Deck Jets
We offer a full range of fountains and deck jets, creating attractive, artistic arcs of water that add a soothing soundscape and enhance enjoyment.
Perimeter Overflow
Designing a custom pool with perimeter overflow enables us to bring the pool’s water up to the decking level for a striking, seamless appearance.
Frequently Asked Infinity Pool & Custom Waterfall Questions
-
What is an infinity pool, and how does it work?
An infinity pool, also called a vanishing edge pool, gives the illusion of water extending endlessly to the horizon. This effect is created by allowing water to flow over one or more edges into a hidden catch basin, where it’s filtered and recirculated back into the pool.
-
Are infinity pools more expensive than traditional pools?
Yes, because of the specialized engineering and design work required. The overall cost depends on the pool size, the complexity of the vanishing edge, and any additional features like waterfalls, lighting, or custom materials.
-
What are the benefits of adding a waterfall to a pool?
A custom waterfall adds both beauty and function. The sound of flowing water creates a calming atmosphere, while the movement helps with water circulation, keeping the pool fresh. It also gives your pool a high-end, resort-style look.
-
Can I add LED lighting to my pool’s water features?
Yes! LED lighting can be built into waterfalls, fountains, and other features to make your pool stand out at night. We offer energy-efficient, low-voltage LED lighting in various colors and styles to match your outdoor space.
-
What is a perimeter overflow pool?
A perimeter overflow pool is designed so water flows evenly over the edges, creating a smooth, mirror-like surface that blends seamlessly with the surrounding deck. This style adds a modern, sophisticated touch to your backyard.
-
Do water features like fountains and deck jets use a lot of water?
Not much. These features are designed to recirculate water within the pool system. However, some minor water loss can happen due to evaporation, especially in hot weather.
-
How do water descents and rain showers improve a pool?
Water descents create smooth, glass-like sheets of water that fall into the pool, while rain showers mimic natural rainfall for a peaceful, spa-like experience. Both features add movement and a sleek, modern touch.
-
Can I control the flow and pressure of my pool’s water features?
Yes! Many water features come with adjustable settings, so you can customize the flow and intensity of fountains, waterfalls, and jets to match your preference.
-
Are infinity pools and water features hard to maintain?
They do require regular upkeep, such as monitoring water levels, maintaining proper filtration, and cleaning the catch basin to keep the vanishing edge effect working properly. With routine maintenance, they stay stunning for years.
-
How do I choose the right water features for my custom pool?
Our design team will guide you through your options based on your pool’s style, backyard layout, and personal preferences. Whether you want an ultra-modern vanishing edge, a natural rock waterfall, or elegant deck jets, we’ll help you design a pool that’s uniquely yours.
