Custom Vanishing Edge & Spillway Pools Design & Build
A custom water feature should add drama and slow things down.
What is a Vanishing Edge and Spillway Pool?
Often referred to as an infinity pool, a vanishing edge pool is designed with an edge that appears to merge with the surrounding landscape, creating a visual illusion of water overflowing into a catch basin or disappearing over the horizon, providing a stunning and luxurious aesthetic effect.

Benefits of a Vanishing Edge and Spillway Pool
View
The pool becomes the frame so the actual focal point comes into focus.
Connection
An infinity pool connects you to something beyond the pool itself.
Calm
Its noise and cascading water settle the mood and help you relax.
Elevation
Adding an infinity edge elevates a pool from simple to spectacular.
Vanishing Edge and Spillway Pool Design Options
Champagne Spa
A champagne spa allows the water to spill over all four sides of your hot tub into the pool. It’s a stunning feature that creates an important connection between the pool and spa.
Infinity Edge
As water spills out of your pool and into a trough below it allows the water to feel endless. And, after all, isn’t the goal of creating your pool to build a space that feels different from everyday life?
Large Spillway
Creating a large spillway from the spa to the pool creates a beautiful cascading effect and changes the entire feel of the space. The larger the spillway, the larger the impact.
Vanishing Edge & Spillway Pool Installation
1. Surface Prep
A pool is only as structurally sound as the way the initial shell is built.
2. Tailoring
We’ll design a pool that perfectly fits into the unique space your yard allows.
3. Crafting
Small surface area doesn’t mean low-quality materials….it may mean the opposite.
4. Walkthrough
We’ll start up the pool and pass off a chemically balanced pool.
Vanishing Edge & Spillway Pool Costs
A spillway from a spa to the pool is an inexpensive way to create a water feature in the pool. An infinity edge is an entirely different story as it’s a large investment. Our take is that you should build a pool once and you should build it right. We’ll talk through the design to make sure that happens.
