Your Pool Design Experience Reimagined

Elite Pools takes pool design to the next level with cutting-edge drone technology and advanced rendering techniques. By capturing high-resolution aerial footage of your property, we create a precise 3D model that accounts for every detail—proportionality, sun orientation, and how your new pool will interact with the existing landscape.

Beyond just visualizing your space, our process helps refine important structural elements, like elevation changes and sightlines, so your pool feels naturally integrated into your backyard. Every curve, patio placement, and water feature is thoughtfully considered, guaranteeing that the final design is as functional as it is beautiful.

“I can’t say enough good things about our decision to go with Elite Pools for our pool remodel. Mike the owner took the time to come out and make great suggestions with our remodel. Luis our project manager was exceptional to work with. He got back to us on a timely manner and made sure everything was done correctly and we were happy with the outcome. He was so polite and calm and took a lot of time explaining our new salt water system. They are far the best pool company in my area. I wish I would have used them to install our pool in the first place because the other company we used was a nightmare. These guys were so refreshing to work with and we have been enjoying our pool this summer and it looks amazing! Thank you!”

“Our pool project manager, Mike G, did an extraordinary job designing, building and supervising our pool, way beyond our expectations! We needed a pool with disability access and related features and of all the pool companies we interviewed, Mike really understood our needs and was involved and supervised all aspects of the pool, deck, patio, fence and ramp. The tiles he brought us and stamped concrete deck and patio turned out fantastic.
We have a beautiful pool that enhances our property. We highly recommend you have Mike supervise all aspects of the pool project, as he made sure everything got done correctly and beautifully. Our neighbor is so impressed with our dream pool, she is already working with Mike building her dream pool. He has delivered everything he promised and more.”

“We called several companies to help us with our pool plaster issue. We weren’t sure if it was a problem with the plaster itself or staining. Mike at Elite Pools was the only person/company that i spoke with out of probably 7-8, who gave me an honest answer, that my pool only needed an acid wash vs re-plastering. He could have recommended the more profitable option for him like those other companies did, but he gave me his honest opinion based on his experience, and then gave me a great price. His crew was able to come soon after we spoke, even during busy season, and Mike was there along with them to make sure it went smoothly. Not only that, but Mike has also gone above and beyond helping me get my pool going after his job was done. I highly recommend this company!”

“We were originally referred to Elite by a friend who does serious researching when planning any major home improvement task and were not disappointed. Elite installed our in-ground salt water pool about 9 years ago and they did an amazing job. We worked directly with Mark and he stepped us through the entire process and helped us create the best free-form design for our space and our budget. Unfortunately, over the years, we didn’t maintain the seals around the coping and water made its way under the coping stones and behind the tile causes tiles to pop and stones to loosen. We needed to have the coping stones reset and decided to change our accent tiles. Dustin provided a ton of tile options and did a great job managing the effort. It looks like a brand new pool.”

Our Step-By-Step Pool Design Process

Step 2: Design & Collaboration

After collecting your $2,500 design fee, we’ll craft detailed 2D drawings and immersive 3D renderings that bring your pool to life. We’ll meet with you in person to walk through the design, discuss revisions, and explore options you may not have considered.

If you choose to move forward with the project, the $2,500 design fee will be incorporated into the final price of your custom pool build.

Step 3: Expert Guidance & Refinement

This is where your vision gets polished. With his years of experience, our owner Mike will share recommendations to perfect the design—helping you avoid common pitfalls and make sure you’ll love every inch of your new backyard.

When it comes to your custom pool, there are plenty of things to consider before breaking ground. What will the view from the spa be like? Should the rock waterfall be positioned at the near or far end of the pool? Which concrete deck color will complement your home’s exterior? How will features like a stone-faced fire pit or island barbeque fit into the landscaping? These are the types of questions you can explore with 3D imaging, allowing you to fine-tune your design and get everything just right before the work begins.

How much does a 3D pool design cost?

Our 3D design services cost $2,500, but here’s the best part—if you decide to move forward with your pool project through us, we’ll credit the full amount toward your final cost. That means your investment in the design process goes right back into bringing your dream pool to life.

What’s the difference between 2D & 3D designs?

A 2D design is like a blueprint—it gives you a top-down view of your pool’s layout, showing the exact dimensions and placement. It’s perfect for making sure everything fits just right, and it’s often needed for HOA approval and permits.

3D designs take things a step further by offering fully rendered, lifelike visualization of your pool within your actual backyard space. Using drone footage, we create a realistic perspective that considers proportionality, sun orientation, and how your pool will look once it’s completed.

What will I be able to see in my 3D design presentation?

Absolutely everything. Our design team brings your vision to life with a fully detailed virtual rendering of your future pool. You’ll be able to see the exact shape, size, and layout, along with details like tile, lighting, water features, and even landscaping. We also include:

Sun Orientation: See how your pool will look at different times of the day, from sunrise to sunset.
Sightlines: Get a clear view of how your pool integrates with the rest of your backyard and home.
Materials & Finishes: Preview tile, decking, pool lining, patio furniture, and other design elements in full detail.
Water Features & Lighting: Visualize waterfalls, fountains, and lighting effects to perfect the ambiance.

How long does the 3D design process take?

The time it takes to complete your 3D rendering can vary depending on the complexity of the design, but typically, we aim for a 30-day turnaround. This allows us to create a detailed, customized design that reflects your vision and makes sure everything is perfectly aligned with your expectations.
