Project Overview:
The homeowner approached Cracknell Pool looking for a pool that offered the appearance of an inground installation with the practicality and affordability of an on ground design. To bring this vision to life, we designed and built a 15-foot round on ground pool equipped with custom walk-in steps.
To complete the built-in aesthetic, we partnered with C.D. Landscaping, who expertly installed a stone veneer around the steel kit of the pool, seamlessly blending the structure into the surrounding landscape and giving it a polished, upscale look.
Challenges:
- Achieving an inground appearance with on ground materials and budget
- Incorporating walk-in steps within space constraints while maintaining structural integrity
- Coordinating with external contractors to ensure stone venner installation perfectly aligned with pool structure
Solutions For Custom On Ground Pool:
1. Custom Onground Pool Design:
We selected a high-quality steel pool kit and modified the installation to sit partially into the ground, helping to achieve the built-in visual appeal the customer desired.
2. Installation of Walk-In Steps:
Our team integrated walk-in steps that not only added to the comfort and accessibility of the pool but also enhanced its visual integration with the surrounding landscape.
3. Stone Veneer Finish by C.D. Landscaping:
Working closely with the team at C.D. Landscaping, we ensured precise measurement and preparation for the stone veneer, which added a luxurious finishing touch and helped the pool blend beautifully into the backyard environment.
4. Project Management & Collaboration:
We coordinated timelines, material choices, and construction stages between all parties to ensure a smooth workflow and timely completion.
Results:
The completed backyard transformation with stunning outdoor features exceeded the client’s expectations in form and function. As pool concreters, as well as swimming pool installers, Cracknell Pool seamlessly integrated the additional concrete for pool, patio, hot tub, and driveway.
From the premium concrete finish to the safe, child-friendly design, every element of the project reflects our quality workmanship and care. Overall, this project not only increased the property’s aesthetic appeal but also added long-term safety and value.
