Swimming Pool Designs - Ideas For a "Wow" Design


Swimming pool designs can be very exciting by adding some interesting elements.

In this project, not one, but many special features made it spectacular. One of the Swimming pool designs can be creative.first things you notice is the vanishing edge, also known as a disappearing edge.

The pool elevation must be above grade for this to work.

Here, the edge becomes extremely dramatic due to the fact that the pool is perched high above the distant body of water, with a wooded mountain in between.

The elevation of the pool was carefully set to take advantage of this beautiful location. This was also important so that the basin behind the vanishing edge could not be seen from the main pool paving areas and the home's upper deck.

Also included in this swimming pool Waterfall is used with pool designs.design is a tanning shelf. This is an area of the pool with only about six inches of water so that lounge chairs can be placed right in the pool.

River Rok was used, as opposed to plaster, in the tanning shelf area and also for the pool steps. River Rok gives a pebbled appearance and also keeps the areas from being slippery.

The natural stone waterfall is another great feature. Each boulder and stone was individually selected to create a natural scene that you might stumble upon in a national forest.

There is a main waterfall spillway, and water Swimming pools look great with waterfalls.also trickles down from the upper parts of the waterfall.

The waterfall-design is comprised of many large boulders and smaller stones for diversity.

There is also a love seat with jets for that soothing water massage.

The vanishing edge, waterfall and love seat jets can all be operated singly or together. Of course when all are operating at the same time, that is the most exciting!

For the swimming pool decking, travertine pavers, a beautiful natural stone product, were used with a matching A pool waterfall made out of natural stone.pool coping.

Travertine pavers are cool to the touch - they are a wonderful choice for swimming pool decking.

Note: This is a pool landscape design in progress. I hope to post more pictures when the planting design is completed.
