Our pool design experts are not just builders—they are visionaries, crafting bespoke pool designs that reflect your personal style and needs. We offer an extensive range of design options, from timeless classic shapes to intricate, contemporary creations, ensuring your new pool is the perfect addition to your outdoor living space. Whether you envision a minimalist rectangular pool, a freeform oasis, or a sophisticated infinity-edge design, we tailor every detail to harmonize with your home’s architecture and the natural character of your landscape.
Here are just some of the options to consider when envisioning your dream pool:
Pool & Spa Shapes
We can design and build virtually any shape you envision – from clean 90-degree angles for a sleek modern aesthetic to smooth organic curves more reminiscent of nature, or even a blend of clean lines with curves to soften the design. If you can dream it, we can build it. Each pool is a canvas, and we take pride in translating your vision into a custom-built design that complements your home, landscape and lifestyle perfectly.
Spas/Hot Tubs
A spa or hot tub offers more than just relaxation—it provides therapeutic benefits for both body and mind. The warm, soothing water promotes stress relief, improves circulation, and helps ease muscle tension and joint pain. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or enjoy the therapeutic effects of hydrotherapy, a spa can be the perfect addition to your outdoor space, offering year-round comfort and wellness.
Water Features
Pool water features like waterfalls, fountains, deck jets, scuppers, and water bowls enhance the beauty and ambiance of your outdoor space. These elements create soothing sounds and dynamic visuals, transforming your pool into a resort-like retreat. From the tranquil flow of a waterfall to the playful arcs of deck jets, water features add elegance, movement, and serenity, elevating the aesthetic and enjoyment of your backyard oasis.
Baja/Sun Shelves & Tanning Ledges
A Baja shelf, also known as a sun shelf or tanning ledge, is a shallow area in your pool designed for lounging, relaxing, and even playing with young children. It allows you to soak in the sun while staying cool in the water, making it a perfect spot for tanning, reading, or enjoying a refreshing drink. This feature adds a luxurious, resort-like feel to your pool, offering both style and functionality for all ages.
Grottos
A swimming pool grotto can add an enchanting, resort-like feel to your backyard oasis. Grottos are secluded, cave-like structures often built into the pool, offering a hidden space for relaxation or even incorporating a waterfall for added ambiance. Whether designed as a cozy hideaway or a dramatic focal point, a grotto brings luxury and uniqueness to any pool.
Sunken Lounges
Sunken lounges, in or around a swimming pool, can add a stunning WOW factor. Whether it’s a cozy seating area in the center of the pool or a sunken firepit for gathering and relaxation, these features bring a unique, immersive experience to your outdoor space. With careful design, sunken lounges can seamlessly blend with the pool’s aesthetic, creating a luxurious, resort-like feel.
Fire Features
Pool fire walls, fire bowls, outdoor fireplaces & fire pits bring a dramatic and captivating element to your outdoor space, combining the warmth of fire with the cool serenity of water. Fire walls create a striking backdrop, while fire bowls, fireplaces, and fire pits add glowing focal points around the pool, enhancing the ambiance and providing both warmth and visual contrast. These features transform your pool area into a luxurious, resort-like retreat, perfect for evening gatherings and creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere year-round.
Waterslides
Waterslides add a fun, playful element to your pool, making it an exciting space for family and friends to enjoy. They offer endless entertainment, transforming your backyard into a mini water park. Whether you choose a sleek, modern design or a more natural, rock-formed slide, waterslides can be customized to blend seamlessly with your pool’s style. Perfect for kids and adults alike, they bring a sense of adventure and thrill to your outdoor oasis.
Jumping Ledges & Diving Boards
Jumping ledges and diving boards introduce an exhilarating element to your pool, making it a hub of fun and activity for swimmers of all ages. Diving boards offer the thrill of jumping and diving into the water, while jumping ledges provide a safe and exciting way to make a splash. Both features encourage playful competition and creativity, enhancing your pool experience and creating unforgettable memories.
Swim-Up Bars
Swim-up bars add a luxurious, resort-like experience to your pool, offering the perfect spot to relax and enjoy refreshments without leaving the water. Ideal for entertaining, they create a social hub where you can serve drinks and snacks while staying cool. With custom seating and countertops designed to seamlessly blend with your pool’s aesthetic, swim-up bars provide both convenience and style, elevating your outdoor space into the ultimate setting for leisure and entertainment.
In-Pool Tables & Seating
In-the-pool tables and seating provide a comfortable and convenient way to relax and socialize without leaving the water. Whether you’re enjoying a meal, a drink, or just a break from swimming, built-in stools or benches allow you to stay immersed while lounging in style. Perfect for entertaining or casual relaxation, these features offer a resort-like experience and blend seamlessly into your pool’s design, enhancing both its functionality and luxury.
Infinity Edges
Infinity edges, also known as zero or vanishing edges, create a stunning visual effect where the water appears to merge with the horizon or surrounding landscape. This sleek, modern design adds a sense of elegance and luxury to your pool, making it a striking focal point. Ideal for properties with scenic views, infinity edges provide a seamless connection between your pool and the natural environment, offering a breathtaking, resort-like experience right in your backyard.
Lazy Rivers
Lazy rivers create a relaxed, winding waterway that’s perfect for leisurely floating and gentle swimming. Flowing through lush landscaping, they bring a resort-style ambiance to your backyard, enhancing the pool’s aesthetic and adding a unique touch. This feature offers a fun, soothing experience for families and guests, transforming any outdoor space into a refreshing retreat.
Pool & Accent Tiles
Pool tiles add style to any pool, offering versatile design options that can transform the look of your space. They can be used as subtle accents along edges or steps, or as a full mosaic covering the pool’s interior to create a visually stunning effect. From vibrant colors to natural tones, pool tiles allow for endless customization, enhancing the water’s sparkle and giving your pool a polished, upscale feel.
Plaster Finishes
Finally, there’s the pool finish, which plays a key role in determining the color of your pool’s water. Our plaster finishes, enhanced with pebbles and dyes, can create shades ranging from frosty white to deep, almost black hues, and everything in between. We use Wet Edge Technologies, offering over 70 color choices, so you have a wide array of options to achieve the perfect look for your pool or spa.
Our Pool Building Process:
Free Consultation
Oasis Pools (typically one of our owners) will personally visit your property to evaluate the space, discuss a general budget range, and explore your vision for the project. If you’re unsure of exactly what you want, we can offer creative ideas and options tailored to your outdoor space, ensuring the perfect design for your needs.
To schedule a free consultation, please call 314.522.3394 from Missouri, 618.655.9510 from Illinois, or email us at [email protected]. We’ll be happy to set up a time to meet, discuss your needs, and assess your outdoor space.
Design & Exploration
Once we have a clear understanding of your vision, we’ll create a custom swimming pool design tailored to your space, style, and budget. Our team will then develop custom 3D renderings of your entire outdoor living area.
From there, we’ll work closely with you to make any necessary adjustments based on your feedback, providing updated renderings until you are completely satisfied with the final design.
Approval & Finalization
Once the design is finalized and approved, we will prepare detailed drawings of the entire project along with a contract. You are welcome to review the agreement on your own, or we can sit down together and go over it line by line to ensure everything is clear and to your satisfaction.
Our main goal is for you to feel comfortable, confident, and excited about your new space.
Installation & Construction
Once all plans have been approved by you, your homeowners association (if applicable), and your municipality, we will begin construction. We’ll set general milestones, coordinate permits & inspections, and keep you informed throughout the entire process.
Our #1 goal is to make this a fun and exciting time for you, not a stressful one.
Completion & Enjoyment
Once the construction of your outdoor living space is fully completed and your pool is filled, balanced, and the mechanical start-up is finished, we’ll conduct a basic training session on all your pool equipment.
Afterward, you’ll be all set to fully enjoy the fun, relaxation, and beauty of your outdoor oasis.
Service + Openings & Closings
Lastly, we’ll set up a regular maintenance schedule to ensure your pool remains in peak condition, serviced by our expert certified technicians.
In addition to routine care, we offer professional pool opening and closing services, preparing your pool for each season to maximize its longevity. With our support, you can enjoy your pool worry-free, knowing it’s always well-maintained and ready for use each new season.
