Water features can bring a whole new dimension to your backyard pool. From something like a simple bubbler to a more extravagant feature like a natural waterfall, the concept of moving water attracts attention and gets people talking. By incorporating water features into your poolscape, you’ll not only add an artistic element but more depth and character as well. From in-pool tables and barstools, to grottos, sheer descents, and more, the pool design experts at Corinthian Pools can help you select the right water feature that complements your swimming pool and backyard retreat.
Waterfalls
Waterfalls make a classic addition to any pool and are always popular with children.
Our custom designed pool waterfalls offer endless options – from natural rock waterfalls to flagstone waterfalls and spa spillovers.
Bubblers
Bubblers are playful, gurgling fountains usually placed on steps or a tanning
ledge that splash up from under the water. This creates a more unpredictable, free-form fountain that invites splashing good fun!
Pool Slides
Today’s water slides are designed to seamlessly meld with the style of your pool.
Built of complementing stone or other materials, they are sure to provide a visually appealing accent while promising unending hours of fun for all ages.
Sheer Descents
Sheer descents are water features that gently pour into the pool from pool or spa walls
and come in configurations as various as a “sheet of glass” effect to sheets of rain-like droplets. They range in size from a few inches wide to several feet for a plethora of elegant looking applications, all providing the soothing sound of falling water!
Raised Spa
A raised spa not only makes easier access to the spa, but adds a luxury element to your backyard.
A raised spa stands out in the design as opposed to a pool level spa.
Tanning Ledge
Tanning Ledge, commonly called a sunshelf or baja bench; a flat ledge typically located
at the entrance of the pool. This tanning ledge is the perfect location for a lounge chair or the sun-worshipper who wants to avoid getting overheated from the sun or fully submerged while enjoying the pool.
Pool LED Lighting
The use of LED lighting in your backyard poolscape adds a whole new dimension
to the look you’re trying to achieve. Whether you’re incorporating LED accent lighting throughout the project or into custom features like rainfalls, bubblers, and steps, a little illumination goes a long way.
Tables with Bench
Incorporating tables with bench seating into your poolscape is a great way to create a common
gathering area in the pool. This is a perfect addition for those who enjoy entertaining, as their guests will love enjoying some finger food and drinks without ever leaving the water!
Fire Features
Adding fire features to your pool creates a beautiful and dramatic ambiance.
Watch the dancing flames come alive at night, making for an attractive focal point in your backyard space.
Plaster Finishes
Your pool’s interior finish plays a major role in both its appearance and longevity. At Corinthian Pools, we offer premium plaster options
that combine elegance, strength, and long-lasting performance. Whether you’re looking for a classic white finish or a more modern, textured surface that sparkles in the sun, our plaster solutions are designed to enhance your pool’s aesthetic and withstand years of use. Expertly applied by our skilled team, a new plaster finish not only revitalizes your pool but also helps maintain a smooth, comfortable surface for swimmers.
Barstool
Add resort-style luxury to your backyard with a custom in-pool barstool feature. These built-in stools are perfect for relaxing in the water
while enjoying a drink, chatting with friends, or unwinding by the swim-up bar. Designed for both comfort and durability, in-pool barstools can be fully customized to match your pool’s finish and layout, creating a seamless, high-end look that turns your pool into the ultimate entertainment space.

Custom Pools FAQ
How long does it take to build a custom pool?
The timeline for building a custom pool can vary depending on the design, site conditions, weather, permitting, and the features included in the project. In many cases, a custom pool can take approximately 8–12 weeks to complete once construction begins, though more complex designs or outdoor living features may extend the timeline.
The process typically includes design and planning, permitting, excavation, structural work, plumbing and electrical installation, decking, finishing, and final inspections. During your consultation, our team will review your project and provide a more detailed timeline based on your specific design and property.
How much does it cost to build a custom pool?
The cost of building a custom pool can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the pool, design complexity, materials, and additional features such as spas, water features, lighting, or outdoor living elements.

During the design consultation, our team will review your goals, evaluate your property, and provide guidance on options that align with your vision and investment level.
What is the difference between a custom pool and a standard pool?
A custom pool is designed specifically for your property, lifestyle, and design preferences.

Every custom pool is created to complement the home’s architecture and outdoor living area.

Custom swimming pools range from sleek modern designs to natural resort-style retreats. Many designs include premium features such as waterfalls, rock features, lighting systems, spas, and integrated outdoor living elements to create a complete backyard oasis.
