The most significant enhancement included the addition of a spa. Also, the original circular walk-in steps at the corner were extended to provide the elegance and convenience of being able to enter the pool anywhere across half of its width, right up to the spa.

Another significant addition to the pool was an elegant water feature with a trio of sheer descent waterfalls. The classic dry-laid deck of sandblasted Eramosa flagstone was installed by the owner. At the time of photography, the round custom-cut matching stone deck access lids had not yet been...

The soothing sounds of falling water have a calming effect, so the sheer descent waterfalls serve the dual role of being both dramatic and functional. The grouping, consisting of one 4-foot unit flanked by two 2-foot units, were placed on a raised concrete feature wall attractively clad in Wiarton...

The sandblasted Eramosa bullnose coping makes an elegant cap on the raised feature wall. Coping in the same material rings the pool to match the flagstone patio, while the pool’s cream polished waterline tile provides a complementary accent.

While the beautifully manicured surroundings give no clue, during construction, extensive excavation and trenching was required around the pool to accommodate the new underground plumbing and electrical lines. The pool equipment is discreetly out of view in the nearby garden storage shed.

The view of the pool and yard is impressive from the home’s elevated second floor deck. A large section of artificial turf next to the pool provides a durable surface for impromptu mini soccer matches. There’s ample room for spectators to gather on the pool deck or adjoining wooden patio.

After dark the entire area glows with the warm colours of the pool’s new LED lighting system. Its range of pleasing colours can be set to a single colour, or to rotate in a constantly changing rainbow. The pool has four underwater lights which eliminates the hot spot created by the pool’s original...

The fully renovated pool includes many new elements to be turned on and turned off, such as: pool heater, water feature pump, pool and spa pumps, plus pool and garden lighting. Thankfully, the new Jandy control system allows all outdoor elements to be controlled from inside the home, or remotely by...

On warm summer evenings the area around the newly renovated pool becomes the focal point for entertaining family and guests. Regardless of whether the pool or spa are in use, they make an impressive architectural statement, especially when underscored by the tinkling sounds of the sheer descent...
