Custom Pool Features for Your Montgomery County Swimming Pool
On a hot summer day, nothing is more inviting than a swimming pool in your own backyard and the ability to take a refreshing dip with family, friends, or even by yourself. While the practical benefits of having a pool are pretty obvious, there are several modifications that can be made, which can take a pool to the next level. Scroll down to see just a few of the fun features Blue Tree Landscaping can bring to your backyard oasis.
Your in ground pool can be much more than a concrete hole filled with water that is used to cool off. It is the most prominent feature of your landscape, so let us help you make the most of it! Call Blue Tree today at 610-222-0590 and get started!
Waterfalls
Waterfalls make a classic addition to any pool and are always popular with children. Our custom designed pool waterfalls offer
endless options – from natural rock waterfalls to flagstone waterfalls and spa spillovers.
Bubblers
Bubblers are playful, gurgling fountains usually placed on steps or a tanning ledge that splash up from under the water.
This creates a more unpredictable, free-form fountain that invites splashing good fun!
Deck Jets & Laminars
Deck Jets use air to shoot streams of water from the deck into the pool. Laminars arc across the swimming pool for an
elegant and fun addition to your swimming pool. They make for particularly fascinating water features at night when backlit with LED lights. Your kids will love chasing the glowing water!
Sheer Descents
Sheer descents are water features that gently pour into the pool from pool or spa walls and come in configurations as
various as a “sheet of glass” effect to sheets of rain-like droplets. They range in size from a few inches wide to several feet for a plethora of elegant looking applications, all providing the soothing sound of falling water!
Tanning Ledge
Tanning Ledge, commonly called a sun shelf or baja bench; a flat ledge typically located at the entrance of the pool.
This tanning ledge is the perfect location for a lounge chair or the sun-worshiper who wants to avoid getting overheated from the sun or fully submerged while enjoying the pool.
Pool LED Lighting
The use of LED lighting in your backyard poolscape adds a whole new dimension to the look you’re trying
to achieve. Whether you’re incorporating LED accent lighting throughout the project or into custom features like rainfalls, bubblers and steps, a little illumination goes a long way.
Swim Up Bar
Swim-up bars are a great way to bring the fun of having a cocktail or food served to you in the pool,
because if you don’t have to get out, why would you? These areas feature built-in bar stools made of stone, tile or precast finishes and a bar that can be adorned in glass tile or beads. The options are endless.
Smart Pools Technology
Combine your smartphone with the latest pool technologies. You can control the pool lights, pool and spa
temperature, sheer descents and much more with this advanced technology that you access through your smartphone from anywhere at any time.
Mosaic Tiles
Incorporating decorative glass tile into your pool and spa is one of the most effective ways to create a
unique look for your pool. With many different options to choose from, you’ll be able to customize exactly what you want while making your pool and spa stand out with gorgeous accents.
Diving Boards
Dive into your swimming pool! Diving can be one of the best activities of a pool and adding an extra
bounce when you jump in, is all the more fun.
Diving Rocks
Diving Rocks have become a popular option for pool owners. Dive rocks can be added to blend in
seamlessly with your new poolscape and design. They are typically added to your pool during the hard-scape process of completing the swimming pool area.
Cozy Cove
Get comfortable in your pool’s cozy cove. This is the perfect area to sit and relax in the sun or just to
sit and watch the little ones play.
Grottos
Create a romantic getaway or a place for pirate’s treasure – in your own pool! A grotto uses rocks and
boulders to create a small cave where water runs-off, giving your pool an exotic, tropical element.
Slides
Today’s water slides are designed to seamlessly meld with the style of your pool. Built of
complementing stone or other materials, they are sure to provide a visually appealing accent while promising unending hours of fun for all ages.
Spa
An adjacent spa allows for options when it comes to water temperature. An adjoining spa where
water flows from the smaller spa to the larger pool adds a unique sense of motion.
Fountains
Fountains are a great way to create a beautiful, eye-catching focal point anywhere in your
pool. Whether you build a fountain in your custom pool or as a standalone feature, fountains provide great ambiance at night when you accent them with LED lights.
