Extreme Pools: If You Can Dream It, You Can Build It!

Forget the cookie-cutter pools of the past. They’ve been replaced by grand, free-form designs customized to reflect your personal style and test the boundaries of true luxury. An expansive and ever-growing selection of innovative features and exotic finishes allows you to bring your favorite tropical oasis or resort to life in your own backyard.

Finish with Distinction

Deliver the most impact with the largest part of your pool – the interior pool finish. Constructed from high-performance materials, decorative pool finishes run the gamut in texture and color. From pebble to smooth surfaces in cool Caribbean tones to deeper hues of green and black, the choices you make in pool finish can set the stage for the entire pool design. All-tile pools are also an option for the homeowner seeking a unique finished product that is a true work of art.

Live On the Edge

Infinity and vanishing edges play up a spectacular view, allowing your pool to both highlight and blend seamlessly with the landscape or skyline. Upgrade that stair-step access to a subtle beach entry. Incorporate a sun shelf so you can catch some rays without breaking a sweat. Add optional seating and a different vantage point with a poolside spa.

See the Light

Provide drama by day and illumination by night with fire features that range from single strips to large bowls. Amplify that poolside glow even further with LED or fiber-optic pool lighting, available in a wide range of soothing to stimulating colors. A well-designed lighting plan includes a combination of submerged, deck, path, and landscape lighting accents, and extends your pool time well beyond sunset.

Create a soothing soundtrack of falling water with deck jets, waterfalls and fountains. Be sure to consider these features in the lighting design for maximum impact.

With a seemingly inexhaustible list of pool options, pool accessories and enhancements, the pool of your dreams is within reach. The only limitation is your own imagination.
