Infinity Pool Overlooking the Vineyards

This fully renovated pool and spa graces the backyard of a large new rebuilt home on St. David’s Bench in Niagara on the Lake. The sloping terrain, with the Niagara escarpment rising up in the background, creates a beautiful backdrop for the infinity pool surrounded by gardens which overlook verdant vineyards and fields.
The original aging pool had poor circulation and required a total rebuild. Pressure testing revealed leaks which were located and fixed. This required the removal the paving stone patio and installation of new plumbing lines, fittings, skimmers and pool lights. New black waterline tile now highlights the premium Pebble Fina smooth grey aggregate interior.
When viewed from the level of the splash benches, the pool’s infinity edge blends seamlessly with the background. If the surface of the pool is perfectly calm, the reflections from the surrounding greenery create a dramatic mirror image.

The view from the back of the home is total tranquility. As you exit the main floor walkout onto the patio and step over the lily pad water feature, it’s then four steps down to the level of the infinity pool. The warm light of late afternoon intensifies the colours of nature as it casts its spell...

The existing stone coping, which included the pool’s full width walk-in steps, was removed, refurbished and reinstalled, as was the paving stone patio. The unusual pool design had a unique feature, matching 7’ x 4’ splash benches on each side. Their shallow 18-inch depth is perfect for a refreshing...

The pool’s infinity edge was not well designed and did not function properly. Betz was able to resolve this by improving the water recirculation and installing a properly functioning auto leveller to maintain a constant level along the spill wall. Infinity pools are beautiful but, require special...

The original spa functioned essentially as a soaker tub since it did not have spa jets. To remedy this, the stone cladding was removed, holes were drilled for spa jets and the ledgerock reinstalled. Now it functions beautifully as a true spa, with the jets adding the luxury and therapeutic benefits...

In addition to adding spa jets, the interior of the hot tub was totally refurbished with the addition of black waterline tile and premium Pebble Fina smooth grey aggregate finish to match the pool. The tranquil view over the lush gardens and pool adds to the relaxing mood.

Another highlight of the backyard is the roof structure which provides shelter from oppressive sun and passing showers. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and helps to extend the season on cool evenings during spring and fall.

Still summer evenings create the perfect moments for maximum enjoyment of an infinity pool. That’s when the glass-like surface melds beautifully with the horizon beyond. Also, it’s the perfect time for al fresco dining, which is hard to beat when you have a glorious poolside setting like this one.

A perfect spot to raise a glass to the setting sun is from the home’s second floor patio. The infinity pool is the focal point, while the tinkling sounds of the water feature below and the fragrances of a summer evening add to the sensual appeal.

The newly renovated infinity pool highlights this good example of backyard symmetry. The twin splash shelves align respectively with the lounge area and outdoor dining table, while the lush greenery and manicured planting beds help to offset the hardscapes. All the elements are beautifully in...
