Inviting Pool Amenity: Hidden Grotto with Dramatic Waterfall
This backyard upgrade came our way as a referral from someone working with the clients. It went on to win an award, making it all the more special.
The overall project included a free-form concrete pool and spa. But a special part of the design is where the spa was placed — it’s actually hidden inside a large grotto with a high waterfall cascading over it into the pool.
“We constructed the grotto from large moss rock boulders,” says Deck and Patio’s Dave Stockwell. “The ceiling is of structural steel and concrete. We also added a tanning shelf inside the pool in the shallow end large enough so that lounge chairs can rest in the water.”
The pool was then surrounded with a handsome Techo-Bloc tumbled paver patio/pool surround and Deck and Patio finished it all with lush landscaping.
This project won Deck and Patio a prestigious Silver Medal from the Northeast Spa and Pool Association (NESPA).
