You may have noticed the last time you flew into your local airport that these days just about everybody has a backyard swimming pool. In South Florida, having a pool isn’t so much a luxury as it is a necessity.

But if you don’t want your backyard swimming pool to look like all the other ones in your neighborhood, you can upgrade your pool by adding a special water effect such as a fountain, waterfall, eternity ledge, or other special feature.

Pool Resurfacing Boca Raton — Swimming Pool Waterfalls

One of the easiest special water features to add is a waterfall. You can find prefabricated waterfalls that resemble rocks, statues, or other decorative items. Or you can have your swimming pool waterfall custom designed and built to your exact specifications.

Waterfalls offer the dual benefit of making your pool unique and offering a cool, refreshing water spray that will help swimmers cool off faster while enjoying your pool,

Pool Resurfacing Boca Raton — Fountains

Fountains can be installed within your pool, adjacent to your pool so that their water sprays into your pool, or even completely unconnected to your pool on a separate water and drainage line.

Fountains also offer a decorative element to your backyard swimming pool, adding grace and elegance to your home and providing a central feature for your backyard.

Pool Resurfacing Boca Raton — Eternity Ledges

Another hugely popular addition to backyard swimming pools right now are eternity ledges. These are edges that allow your pool water to fall into a second, lower ledge, offering a so-called “eternity” view for swimmers enjoying the pool.

Eternity ledges are especially popular among homeowners with ocean views or whose homes are elevated or on a ledge.

Make your home’s backyard pool unlike anybody else’s by adding one of these special water features.
