The interior finish options for pools offer a large range of color options. The most common choice is blue water when selecting a pool finish. Choosing any white based aggregate finish helps to accomplish blue water. You can also select a finish with colored aggregate particles in order to best match your coping and tile. We can do anything from modern to natural to contemporary.
Stamped Concrete overlay applications are a great alternative to pool pea gravel, spray deck or cool deck. It can simulate cobble stone, cut coral or even slate. The application is normally around ½” thick and is applied over current or new concrete. Translucent concrete stains are also an option gaining popularity. They provide contrast and depth, at a more affordable cost. Ideal for hiding dirt and cracks, providing more character.

Don’t let all the options become overwhelming. Start with a few simple questions: smooth or rough textured stone types? Next, what is your basic color pallet? Finally, do you prefer a simple shape with minimal grout lines or patterned tiles? By focusing on one decision at a time you will find this process to be less complicated. Most clients pick tiles that will contrast with the water.
How will you use your pool? Since most people are around the pool steps, you might want to focus there. A sun shelf is generally a 6’ wide step to lounge, it can be anything depth, with bubbles, lights, or an umbrella for a pool chair. A beach area slopes from the deck, giving a slanted entrance. These add fun, enjoyment and even value to your pool.
Another choice is if you want to add a spa to your pool design. A spa can add a calming atmosphere as well as a touch of value to your outdoor oasis. Keep in mind it also adds a little extra maintenance. There are many options for incorporating the spa into the overall look you want. Creating a waterfall effect is one of the most popular options.
Adding a water feature to you pool is a great way to add some fun and character. You could add a rock waterfall, a spilling bowl or spouts the shoot water out. So many options! Salt systems can help to simplify chemical care by essentially making chlorine from salt. Adding a quality salt system is becoming more popular, as people want to limit chemicals they have in their pool.
Pool lighting can add drama and character to your pool. We use LED lighting to illuminate your pool, spa, and water features. The lights don’t have to be only white. They can be colored as well. An automation control system is used to control your lights or any pool feature. This can be wall mounted or a handheld remote. It can even be controlled with a iPhone or iPad.
