Why Custom Pool Design Matters
Pre-designed pools may serve their purpose, but they often fall short of maximizing your outdoor space’s full potential. A custom-designed pool means:
- Complete control over shape, depth, and layout
- Integration with your home’s style and existing landscaping
- Seamless connection with patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens
- Personal touches like beach entries, tanning ledges, and water features
By working with Cox Pools, you can ensure your pool is not only functional but also a show-stopping focal point of your backyard.
The Custom Design Process With Cox Pools
Our pool design process in Upper Grand Lagoon is collaborative, creative, and completely customized.
1. Consultation & Site Evaluation
We start by understanding your vision, space, and needs. Our team visits your property to evaluate the terrain, drainage, sun exposure, and access.
2. Style & Feature Selection
Choose from a variety of shapes—freeform, geometric, L-shaped, infinity edge, or completely original. Then, we help you pick materials, tiles, coping, decking, and optional features like:
- Raised spas
- Sheer descent waterfalls
- Fire bowls
- Bubblers and jets
- LED lighting and automation
3. 3D Design Rendering
Using advanced 3D software, we create a detailed rendering of your custom pool design. This allows you to view it from every angle and make adjustments before construction begins.
4. Budgeting & Finalizing
You’ll receive a full breakdown of costs, timelines, and optional upgrades. We also offer financing plans to make luxury more attainable.
