Custom pool & spa design · North Florida A pool designed around how you will use it

Morning laps, weekends with the kids, a warm spa on a cool evening. We start with how you want to live, then show you the pool in 3D before anything is dug.

Pool & spa design

The biggest decision in the backyard

A pool is usually the largest single choice in a backyard, and the hardest to change once it is in. So we take our time with it. Before shapes and finishes, we ask how you picture using it — exercise, family time, quiet evenings, or a backdrop for entertaining.

Then we design the pool and everything around it: the deck, shade, planting, lighting, and how it all looks from inside the house. You walk through the whole space in 3D and adjust it until it feels right.

Angela is also a licensed Florida pool contractor, so every design is grounded in how pools are actually built here.

What we design

The pool, and everything around it

Shape & layout

Freeform, geometric or somewhere between — sized and placed for your lot, the sun, and the view from the house.

Spas & spillovers

Attached or raised spas, spillways and sheer descents that tie the water together.

Sun shelves & entries

Shallow lounging ledges, wide steps and benches — the places people actually spend their time in the water.

Decking & coping

Pavers, travertine and coping chosen for comfort underfoot in the Florida sun, and to suit the house.

Lighting & water features

Lighting, bubblers and fire-and-water features, so the pool works after dark as well as by day.

Pool renovations

Reshaping, resurfacing or adding a spa to an existing pool that no longer fits how you live.

Local knowledge

Designed for North Florida

Heat and glare

Deck materials and colors that stay cooler underfoot, and shade placed where the afternoon sun actually lands.

Summer storms

Heavy afternoon rain is routine here. Deck slopes and drainage are planned so water goes where it should.

Pool safety

Florida requires every new residential pool to have at least one approved safety feature, such as a barrier, a safety cover or alarms. We design it in rather than adding it later.

Screen enclosures

Many North Florida pools are screened. If yours will be, we design the pool and the enclosure together so the frame does not fight the view.

A few of our designs

Every project starts as a 3D rendering, so you can see it before it is built.

How it works

How we work together

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We start with a conversation. Tell us about your vision, your lifestyle, and your budget. We listen closely and make sure we understand what home really means to you.

  2. 02

    Design

    We create detailed 3D renderings and guide you through every selection — materials, colors, finishes. You see your space come to life before construction begins.

  3. 03

    Build Support

    We coordinate with your builder or contractors so the design is executed exactly as envisioned. You are never left guessing what comes next.

Where we work

Based in St. Johns County
