Custom Pools
& Pool Houses

Every pool project begins with your vision and your site. We consider how you move from inside to outside, how your family uses the yard, and what kind of environment you want to come home to. The result is a pool environment that feels as though it was always supposed to be there.

A pool is one of the most significant investments you can make in your property. GreenRoots approaches every poolscape as a holistic design challenge. We consider not just the pool itself, but how it connects to the home, relates to the surrounding landscape, and serves the way your family actually lives.

Custom Pool Design

A swimming pool should feel naturally connected to your home's architecture, landscaping, and outdoor living areas. Our team considers how every element works together: how the pool relates to the pool house, how the surrounding hardscape transitions to the planted beds, and how the whole environment connects to your indoor space.

We design and install:

  • Custom pool and spa design and installation
  • Integrated spas and hot tubs
  • Infinity edge pools
  • Waterfalls and water features
  • Sun shelves and tanning ledges
  • Custom lighting features
  • Fire and water combinations
  • Family-friendly and resort-inspired pool layouts
  • Year-round and indoor aquatic spaces

Pool Houses

A well-designed pool house transforms how you use your entire outdoor space. Whether you want a private guest retreat, an outdoor entertainment hub, or a convenient changing area, we design pool houses that complement both your home's architecture and the surrounding pool environment.

Pool house features may include covered lounge spaces, outdoor fireplaces, full bathrooms and changing rooms, guest accommodations, kitchenettes and bars, retractable walls and doors, climate-controlled interior spaces, and four-season outdoor rooms.

Complete Poolscape Environments

Your pool is only one part of the overall experience. GreenRoots designs the pool, pool house, surrounding hardscape, landscaping, lighting, and privacy plantings as one cohesive environment. This produces a result that feels intentional from every angle, not assembled over time.

Pool hardscape, pool landscaping, outdoor kitchens, privacy fencing, and screening are all part of the same design conversation, not separate projects to be added later.

From Design to Installation

We handle every aspect of your pool and outdoor living project, from initial site analysis and 3D design walkthroughs through permitting, excavation, and final installation. Before any work begins, you see your space in a full 3D rendering. When we break ground, you know exactly what you're getting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a custom pool project take?

Timeline varies by scope and complexity. Most custom pool and outdoor living projects take several months from design through completion. We discuss realistic timelines during the design phase so you can plan accordingly.

Can GreenRoots design both the pool and the surrounding landscape?

Yes, and this is how we prefer to work. Designing the pool and the surrounding environment together as one project produces a more cohesive result than adding elements separately over time.

What styles of pools do you design?

We design a range of styles; geometric, modern, traditional, and resort-inspired. Every pool is customized to fit the home, the property, and the family using it.
