Planters, trees and all things green give this pool area a whimsical appeal. Greenery makes a soothing pool area.

Rock walls and benches

Want to add a fantastic look to your custom pool? Then install rock walls and combine them with benches or sitting areas to mix functionality and style. A rockwall can also cordon off the pool area to make it more private.

Automatic covers

While they give you moments to cherish, pools also need protection and safety. Adding automatic covers helps you maintain your custom pool in a better and easy way.

Tanning ledges

A tanning ledge is an addition to your swimming pool. It is a raised area within the water that is extremely shallow. This protrusion could be anywhere from just a few inches deep to over a foot. The idea is that you can sit in the water without having to swim or float. If you have young kids around this is a good addition.

Grottos

Lend a natural look to your pool with grottos -- a natural or artificial cave. They are available in multiple designs and options to suit your tastes. Grottos are one of the most popular features for a pool, but also one that can be built in any configuration so that no two grottos look the same.

Custom spas

When you have a pool, a beautiful spa or hot tub alongside is the perfect pair. After a long day, you know you can get home and relax in your hot tub with a tall glass of wine.

Jets

Deck jets can be installed in any which way you desire, within your pool ledge or on top of it. They may be old school, but never out of style and never fail to enhance the splendor of your pool.

Fire Pit

Amazing to look at and a brilliant way for you to warm up after a good swim. A fire pit can be custom-made in any shape and size, complementing the overall look of your pool. For a tropical feel, add some bamboo, palm trees, and some flowering plants. Even a curtain of green trees would look lovely.
