“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.”

Don’t worry; our team will help you choose plants that look great and thrive in your space. We consider sunlight, soil, and maintenance preferences to recommend the best options. You’ll also receive digital visuals with plant names and placement so you can see how everything will come together before installation.

The best trees for shade around your pool are those that provide plenty of coverage without constantly dropping leaves into the water. River birch and red maples offer shade with vibrant seasonal colors, while willow oaks and honey locusts provide a broad canopy with minimal debris. If you want a more tropical look, hardy banana trees can thrive in the warmer months.

Our professionals will walk you through the best options based on your space, style, and how much maintenance you want to handle—so you get the perfect mix of shade and beauty without the extra hassle.

Absolutely! Mixing hardscape materials is a great way to add depth, texture, and contrast to your pool area. Combining pavers with natural stone, concrete with wood accents, or tile with decorative borders can create a unique and visually appealing design. Whether you’re looking for a modern, rustic, or resort-style aesthetic, we’ll help you create a custom hardscape that enhances your outdoor oasis.
