The Benefits of a Natural Pool or Pond

 Our natural pools aim to create a place of deep connection to the environment. We accomplish this by taking not only recreation, but also gardening to another level. By introducing native aquatic and emerging wetland plant species to your property, we provide for an increased diversity of life, while creating an environment with tremendous learning opportunities for your family.

From swan dives to ice-skating, a natural pool provides year round interaction, as it increases the aesthetic appeal and property value of your home. 
We can also discretely install fire hydrants on some projects to assist your local fire department, giving you greater peace of mind if your home is located away from municipal water supplies. Again, each specific pool site will determine the most appropriate design.

When comparing the installation of a natural swimming pool to a conventional in-ground pool, the costs are often similar; yet the maintenance of a natural pool is significantly lower, due to the lack of continual chemical treatments. Some gardening will be required to help maintain a balance, but we believe you will find that you are constantly drawn to your pool, interacting with it in a way that could never be compared to the process of applying chemicals. 
We can work with you in regards to plant maintenance to whatever degree you wish. We suggest the selection of native species in order to maintain the most effective system, but we will assist you in any design direction you choose. It is of the utmost importance to us that your total pool experience is positive and we will work with you to insure that you are comfortable with monitoring both water and plant health.
