A modern design incorporates water features that are both eye-catching and functional. From cascades to bubbler fountains, these add-ons enhance your pool’s aesthetic.

Waterfalls and Sprayers Are An Interesting Element of Pool Design

Water features add a unique element to any pool. They can help set your pool apart from other pools in your neighborhood and enhance its visual appeal to potential home buyers.

There are many ways that waterfalls and sprayers can be integrated into your pool design and remodeling project. Waterfalls can be built into a rock pool, as part of a waterfall grotto, or even a raised fountain wall.

Sheer descent waterfalls create a sleek elegant look in a modern or geometric pool and can be designed with different shapes and materials to complement your landscape and budget. Scuppers are wall-mounted spouts that pour narrow streams of water and can be shaped to emulate architectural pieces, urns, or vessels.

Foam jets, also known as bubblers, are small, low-pressure jets that shoot foam in the air and can be placed on a Baja shelf (a shallow sun ledge or extended first step). Fountains are another popular water feature that are often found on pool decks. They spray a narrow stream of water in a wide range of colors and can be turned on and off when swimming is taking place.

Pebbles

Pebbles are clasts of igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary rock that have been worn smooth by water or glaciers. They are larger than granules (2 to 4 millimetres in size) and smaller than cobbles (64 to 256 millimetres in size). A beach composed chiefly of surface pebbles is called a shingle beach.

Pool pebbles can transform your pool into a natural oasis with a new texture that is stain-resistant, non-slip and environmentally friendly. Choose from a variety of textures including PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, and Stonescapes mini pebbles with blends like Aqua Cool, Salt and Pepper, and Sand to create your unique poolscape.

Pebble interior surfaces can be complemented by a bolder border design or by landscaping with boulders and stones to tie the entire pool area together. However, it is important to be sure any rocks or stone are kept away from the edge of your swimming pool as they can get into your filtration system and cause major problems.

Tiles

When it comes to pool design and remodeling, tile is one of the most crucial choices that you will make. It can be a major focal point for your pool, or it can be a subtle accent that complements the surrounding landscape and ties together the overall design.

For a premium finish, you will want to choose pool tiles that match the plaster and coping color. You also want to select a grout that won’t discolor quickly.

Lastly, you will want to consider the illumination scheming for your swimming pool. Depending on the lighting, certain hues of blue will work better than others.

A great way to make this decision is with a specialist pool design program. SketchUp and NPT Backyard both offer free pool designs for iOS and Android devices. These programs provide a range of tools that allow you to assess the outdoor space with high image detail and surveyed terrain data. They are also easy to use and compatible with a wide variety of furniture symbols and flooring textures.

Lighting

Lighting is not only a decorative element in a pool; it also extends the amount of time you can safely use your swimming pool each night. In addition to providing visibility around the pool and deck, it can highlight functional areas such as steps and pathways and enhance other features of your yard like specimen plants and patio areas.

In-ground pools traditionally have a few lights built into the walls to light up the water for nighttime swimming. Today’s lighting systems are more customizable than ever and can be adjusted to your unique needs.

Uplighting and downlighting can illuminate your poolside landscaping from above, while a well-placed floodlight will highlight walls, signs, trees and more from the ground up. A combination of these can create a sense of grandeur that accentuates the beauty of your yard at night. The color of your pool liner and finish will have a direct impact on the lighting effects; lighter colors reflect more light, while darker liners absorb it. Your designer can help you navigate these options.
