Gallery of New Swimming Pool Projects

With the different types of swimming pools and options available, sometimes the biggest part of the project is deciding what type of paradise is to be created. Deciding on the pool size, shape, location, style, ammenities, and how it will be used can be overwhelming. With some professional assistance the poolscape process can be a little less stressful and more productive.

Our inground swimming pools can incorporate disappearing water over a vanishing edge, arcs of water with fiber optic lighting flowing into the swimming pool, large natural stone waterfalls with the sound of crushing water pouring into the swimming pool or tranquil sheer sheets of water flowing out of the ledgestone placed at the back of the swimming pool. From a simple project to the ultimate backyard, Aquascapes can help.

A popular feature in todays swimming pools is a large shallow reef step with an umbrella sticking out of the center. These reef steps are great places for the children to play in a shallow pool of water or a place where adults can place their chairs and stay cool while bathing in the sun. Other popular pool features include swim up bars, diving boards, multi-colored swimming pool lighting, bridges, islands and a list of other items.

Recently there has been a demand in the pool and spa industry to create an aquatic environment that can be used for therapy, rehabilitation and fitness. We at Aquascapes have constructed swimming pools and spas with a current of water to swim or walk against. These pools and spas can benefit athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those with injuries, by providing a low impact method of strengthening their bodies with water. These currents of water can also be used to create a lazy river that flows around the pool and provides for a relaxing inner tube ride.

The swimming pool can be designed and constructed in a variety of forms: freeform - to imitate a natural pond, lagoon or beach setting; symetrical - having one side of the swimming pool mirror the other side or forming destinct arcs or other shapes; or classic - resembling the old world look of Spanish, Greek or Roman swimming pools. The swimming pool can also be personalized to match any special desgin such as a guitar, piano, star, or other shape.

The Coping around the pool and spa can be created with precast concrete, poured in place concrete, brick or tumbled quartzite stone. The decking around the swimming pool is also a very important aspect of the overall theme of the swimming pool. We can install a multi-colored stone textured concrete decking that reflects the character of the natural stone used in the swimming pool project. The concrete can have the aggregrate slightly exposed and saw cut into diamonds to go along with the classic shape of the swimming pool. The decking can be a combination of stamped concrete with bands of natural stone cutting through the concrete and accenting it. The decking can be pavers that create a tuscan feel to the yard. The variety of decking designs are as varied as the pool itself.

The technology of todays pool equipment provides a level of convenience that makes owning a swimming pool a true pleasure and not an additional chore around the yard. From self-chlorinating pool systems and self-cleaning pool sweeps to automated control of waterfalls, lights and heaters, every aspect of the swimming pool environment can be controlled by the computer. High energy-efficient pool pumps can be programmed to operate at different horsepower levels depending on the required use of the pump. The pool and yard lighting as well as the pumps and heater can all be controlled remotely from a cellular telephone. Aquascapes can also place synthetic turf around the pool or yard to add to the maintanence free environment. Let Aquascapes show you how you can turn you backyard into a modern automated oasis.

Another popular backyard feature is an outdoor living and entertainment area. These areas can contain free standing patio covers, BBQs, fire places, fire rings, outdoor kitchens, and several other sports type outdoor activity areas such as putting greens, shuffle board courts, sports courts for roller blading or basketball, and even a sand volleyball court. There is no better way to enjoy Southern California at home than playing in a beautiful paradise during the day and then relaxing with friends and family in the evening around an outdoor fire place listening to the soothing sound of a waterfall.

We at Aquascapes take pride in working with the homeowner to design and construct a one of a kind swimming pool and outdoor entertainment environment.
