If you’re looking for a statement piece to finish your backyard oasis, adding a water feature to your pool could be the missing touch. There are many options ranging from fountains to swim up bars that can create a custom and elegant look to any pool. Not sure where to start? We recommend browsing a pool gallery or looking through already finished pools with water features to help you create your ideal swimming pool. At Ask the Pool Guy we can create custom hybrid vinyl/gunite pools that incorporate the ease of care of vinyl pools with all the possibilities gunite allows.
Some basic water features:
- Fountains
- Sheer waterfalls– this is a waterfall that produces a clear arc of water giving a smooth finish.
- Natural waterfalls– these waterfalls are often combined with stones to give the appearance of being naturally occuring and springing out of the earth.
- Industrial waterfalls– waterfalls that flow from some sort of metal giving the pool a more industrial and modern feel.
- Infinity pools– these pools give the appearance of the water ‘spilling’ over the sides or going on for infinity. They are typically used in high-end design swimming pools.
- Swim-up bars
- Pool lighting– ranging from LED to halogen and flush mounted to flood lighting. You just have to pick which works best for your style and budget.
