Pool Types

Choosing the right pool can transform your backyard into a relaxing retreat. Whether you’re a homeowner considering a new pool or a pool builder seeking inspiration for your next project, understanding the different types of pools available is crucial. Explore the various options and their unique benefits, and find the perfect fit for your needs.

Pool Materials

  • Gunite Pools

Gunite pools are highly popular for their versatility in shape and design. Made from a mixture of sand, water, and cement, gunite is applied using a specialized spray gun, creating a seamless, durable surface. 

 

This construction method allows for intricate designs and customization, making gunite pools a common choice for luxury resorts and homes alike.

  • Concrete Pools

Concrete pools offer unparalleled customization. Built by spraying a mix of water, cement, sand, and gravel (either gunite or shotcrete), these pools are known for their strength and durability. 

 

Concrete pools are ideal for homeowners looking for a bespoke design that perfectly fits their backyard space.

  • Fiberglass Pools

Fiberglass pools are pre-fabricated and delivered to your home ready for installation. Renowned for their smooth surfaces and low maintenance, these pools resist algae growth and are less susceptible to staining. 

 

Fiberglass pools come in a variety of shapes and sizes, offering a quick and efficient solution for pool installation.

Pool Shapes & Styles

  • Geometric Pools

Geometric pools feature clean lines and sharp edges, often in rectangular or square shapes.

 

They are perfect for modern homes and those looking to incorporate features like lap lanes and Baja shelves.

 

Their classic design blends seamlessly with contemporary architecture, providing a sleek and sophisticated look.

  • Freeform Pools

Freeform pools are designed to mimic natural water bodies with flowing, organic shapes.

 

They offer a relaxed and natural aesthetic, ideal for creating a backyard oasis. 

 

These pools can incorporate rock formations, waterfalls, and lush landscaping, making them perfect for a tropical or rustic theme.

  • Infinity Pools

Infinity pools create a visual illusion where the water seems to merge with the horizon, offering stunning views and a luxurious feel.

 

Perfect for properties with scenic landscapes, these pools are the epitome of elegance and sophistication.

  • Plunge Pools/Cocktail Pools

Plunge pools, also known as cocktail pools, are small, deep pools designed for relaxation and cooling off.

 

They are ideal for smaller backyards or courtyards, providing a refreshing spot without the space requirements of a larger pool.

  • Lap Pools

Lap pools are long, narrow pools specifically designed for swimming laps.

 

They are perfect for fitness enthusiasts and those looking to incorporate regular exercise into their routine.

 

These pools can be installed indoors or outdoors, ensuring year-round usability.

  • Natural Pools

Natural pools use bio-filtration and natural landscaping to create a swim-friendly environment free from chemicals.

 

They blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly option for homeowners.

  • Commercial Pools and Spas

Commercial pools and spas cater to larger-scale operations such as hotels, resorts, and community centers.

 

These pools are designed to accommodate higher usage and meet stringent safety and operational standards.

Pool Additions

  • Custom Pool Spas

Custom pool spas can be integrated into your pool design or can stand alone as a separate feature.

 

Offering relaxation and hydrotherapy benefits, these spas enhance the luxury of your pool area, providing a perfect spot to unwind.
