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.

A vanishing edge or spillway adds a layer of design, opens up the space, and takes a pool to another level, seamlessly blending the tranquil water feature with its surroundings. It is typically utilized in a setting where the pool is simply a vehicle to looking at something even more awe-inspiring, creating a harmonious connection between the pool and the breathtaking backdrop.

Benefits of a Vanishing Edge and Spillway Pool

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.

We had our pool deck and front sidewalks redone this past week using Allied Outdoor Solutions and their Carvestone overlay product, and the finished product looks incredible.
