Are those your builds? They are all beautiful. I would have used you in a heart beat if your were in DFW.

RE: Pretty Pictures

Real nice. I liked the building where the roof spilled into the pool. It gives me ideas for our pool. Thanks

Para,
Yes! all my babies. I like Texas, but I love it here in Scottsdale, thanks for the kind words.

Jpark,
We did that to cover some road noise behind the property.
It makes a great white noise, they even leave it on when they are in the house.

These look like pieces of art. They all have such a good fit to the homes and surrounding landscape. Fabulous work! Thanks for sharing!

Phenomenal

That is so Fabulous! I love the water from the fountain formed into a woman setting on top of it. The designs are so fantastic. You gave an inspiration in designing my pool. Thank you for sharing them.

Thankyou, Thankyou, and Thankyou.

Joanne,
The first one is my personal pool, and I never get tired of looking at it.

Just-a-pb,
You do very very nice work. Do you have any pictures of pools that you have put in some of the older homes around Scottsdale and Phoenix? I love mid-century modern homes built in the 1960s. Have you put in any pools in some of the older homes around the Valley? If you do that type of work, I would like to see it because I am currently in search of a PB. Thanks...

Milo,
I have built some pools in south scottsdale at 60's era homes, as well as some old homes in phx, But not the type of homes you are describing. These are the red brick track houses of the time.
As far as type of work, we can build anything your imagination and budget can handle.

"Just", have your ever seen a four sided disappearing edge raised bowl with fire that shoots out the center? My favorite feature from all the pools I've seen here. The raised bowl sits above a pool of water of course, and its at the entrance to a casino of course. Would love to see you do one on a residential pool, send pix when its done. smile, Barb

Fourth pic from the bottom...what coping did you use for raised spa? Looks about 4 inches thick. What is the decking material?


 o
RE: Pretty Pictures

Nosabe,
No coping.
Just a light Italian travertine, standard cantelever poured concrete with a travertine turn down.
This is not for everyone, it is a slip and slide, but has the look the client wanted.

Hello just-a-pb,

I've already commented on this thread but I can't help myself to look at it over and over again. Although these are just photos its very relaxing to watch each of them because they are all unique and really..... really beautiful..... One thing that I like the most is that the effect of lighting adds to the beauty of your pools. Thanks.

RE: Pretty Pictures

Just-a-pb,
On the 9th picture from the bottom, what decking and coping material is that? I like it because it has that clean lines look. Thanks


 o
RE: Pretty Pictures

6th from the bottom... with the big beach entry... is that PebbleTec? Two different colors?


 o
RE: Pretty Pictures

JS,
Pebble Sheen
Cool blue, and Desert Gold.

RE1: Pretty Pictures

Milo,
That is a slot overflow pool. The water is at the same level as the deck.
The material is Ancient stone.
It is not my favorite, and is more expensive then natural stone.

RE: Pretty Pictures

This is really nice work. Great design. You have every right to be incredibly proud.

Are the cactus transplanted or did you build around them. Seems that I read something about people putting microchips in that type of cactus. They are incredible as is the backdrop for your pools.

Great stuff!

RE: Pretty Pictures

Bumping this because these pools have such different styles The constant thread is artistry and drama. They are exciting to look at and that is their primary function.


 o
RE: Pretty Pictures

Thanks Reno,
Some jobs we build around the saguaros some we put where we want them.
They are old but fairly abundent around here.

Its hard to tell, but in the 5th pic from the bottom, the double edge pool, the saguaro behind it is a metal sculpture. He has several of them on the property.
