Design a Pool as Unique as Your Home

At Elite Pools, we specialize in custom inground pools tailored to your vision. With endless design possibilities, you can create a pool that complements your landscape and home’s exterior. From modern elegance to natural retreats, we offer a range of custom features to bring your dream pool to life.

Geometric Pools

If you love clean lines and a modern aesthetic, geometric pools offer sleek, structured designs with sharp edges and flawless finishes. Whether you prefer a classic rectangle, a perfect square, or a more dynamic shape with multiple angles, these pools bring sophistication and symmetry to any backyard.

Freeform Pools

A freeform pool is the way to go if you’re looking for something more organic and fluid. Designed without rigid corners or straight edges, these pools create a natural, flowing look that blends seamlessly with your outdoor space.

Custom Features

No matter which pool design you choose, you can make it truly your own with custom features like fountains, rock grottos, slides, fire elements, and more. We go beyond water to help design your entire backyard, from landscaping to hardscaping.

“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 Custom Pool Installation Process

We have the highest quality standards in the industry.

Step 1: Let’s Visualize Your Dream, Together

Your journey begins with a meeting with an Elite Pools project manager to assess your land, discuss your vision, and outline your needs. We’ll review everything from utilities and site access to pool features, sun orientation, wind patterns, and surrounding hardscapes.

If you choose to move forward, our landscape architect will create a detailed plan, including a 2D layout and an interactive 3D model, so you can see your design come to life. Once the plans and budget are finalized, we’ll handle the permitting process to keep your project on track.

Step 2: Start With a Solid Foundation

We use only the highest quality materials to make sure your pool is built to last. Unlike other builders, we own our own material businesses, meaning we’re never waiting on inventory delays—keeping your project on track from start to finish.

Safety and precision guide every step of our construction process, and your dedicated project manager will keep you updated along the way, answering any questions you may have. Plus, with our BuilderTREND owner’s portal, you’ll have real-time access to project updates, so you’re always in the loop.

Step 3: Execute With Expertise

With over seven decades of experience, our accredited construction teams bring unmatched skill to every custom pool project. We’re committed to quality and safety, making sure your pool is just as beautiful as it is functional. From privacy-enhancing landscape formations to cascading waterfalls that create a tranquil escape, every detail is executed with precision.

What type of additional elements can you build for my pool?

If you can dream it, we can build it. Our swimming pool contractors have created everything from lap pools and infinity edges to resort-style grottos and custom-built slides. Additional features you may want to consider include:

Integrated Spas: Get year-round relaxation with a hot tub or jacuzzi.
Tanning Ledges: Shallow lounging areas are perfect for sunbathing or young swimmers.
Swim-Up Bars: Bring the luxury of an all-inclusive resort right to your backyard.
Fire & Water Features: Combine fire bowls, waterfalls, and LED lighting for a dramatic effect.
Smart Pool Automation: Control lighting, temperature, and filtration from your phone or tablet.
Diving Boards & Slides: Create the ultimate in family-friendly pool splashing with diving boards, slides, and everything in between.

How long does the custom pool process take?

Depending on the project’s scope, our custom pool process can take anywhere from 45 days to a few months to complete. Factors like design complexity, permitting, weather, and material selection can all impact the timeline but don’t worry. Before we break ground, we’ll create a detailed timeline, outlining every stage so you know exactly what to expect.

What’s the difference between a play pool and a diving pool?

A play pool is generally shallower, making it perfect for families with young children or those who want a pool for casual swimming, playing, and relaxing. It’s great for activities like pool games, lounging, and wading. These pools typically range in depth from three to five feet.

On the other hand, a diving pool is designed with deeper water to accommodate diving activities. It usually has a minimum depth of eight feet, guaranteeing a safe space for diving, whether you’re diving from the pool edge or a diving board.

How much of my pool project can I customize?

Every single part of your pool project can be fully customized. Our team understands the importance of making sure your pool reflects your style and fits seamlessly into your space. From the tiles and pool color to water features, lighting, and decking, we offer endless options to bring your vision to life. Explore our landscaping services to discover how your custom pool can be integrated into your backyard even further.

What’s the difference between a hot tub and an in-ground spa connected to my pool?

A hot tub (or acrylic spa) is typically more focused on providing therapeutic benefits with features like powerful jets and a deeper, more relaxing soak. In-ground spas connected to your pool tend to have limitations on the number of jets, seats, and other features.

Hot tubs, on the other hand, come in various sizes and shapes, offering more customization. They can be integrated into your backyard design using elements like walls, rock formations, and other creative features to seamlessly blend with your space.
