Chris & Teri at Robins Nest knew exactly what needed to be done to make this dream of ours happen. It was a challenging sloped site and Chris was able to create a stepped and walled design that is just perfect. They were unfailingly honest about costs and needed materials. The crew was experienced, delightful and professional. We have counted on Robins Nest for all the needed maintenance, opening, closing, and plant material for our pool over the last 7 years and the customer service is top notch. > \[ **★★★★ — flusk, April 2013** > Chris designed and built our natural swimming pond in Freeport, Maine in the spring of 2010. The project was completed on time and on budget. We are very happy with our pond. It is beautifully landscaped and well constructed. We have continued our contract with him for opening and closing our pond each year and for occasional help when we are away. > > Natural swimming ponds are a relatively new product in our area and each one is unique. They require a big commitment from the owner to manage and maintain. Chris has always replied quickly and helpfully when I've called for help. **★★★★★ — Ayelet Waldman, March 2013** > The delightful folks at Robin's Nest built us the most GLORIOUS swim pond. Ours is the "blue hill" pond on this site. > > We spend our whole summer in this pond. Neighbors and friends flock to it. The water is (except when there's the odd algae bloom) crystal clear, cool and refreshing. The plantings are lovely, the setting delightful. It's a bucolic paradise. > > Chris and his team are responsive, friendly, and professional. They treat every pool like it's their own, with that level of attention and care. > > We could not be happier. ## Selected projects - [large swim ponds](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/large-swim-ponds-pj-vj~861463) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Oasis in the Desert of Maine](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oasis-in-the-desert-of-maine-pj-vj~198676) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Pierce Lanucha Natural Swimming Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pierce-lanucha-natural-swimming-pool-pj-vj~198576) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 3 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/swimming-pool-builders/robins-nest-aquatics-pfvwus-pf~629629941) ## Community Q&A **Q: What type of wood/material is used to frame out the border in the wate** *(in Photo Questions)* What material is used to frame out border in the water? A: this is done with green hemlock post and beam construction. it is then covered in cedar tongue and groove. all stainless steel hardware is used to bolt together. **Q: Cost?** *(in Photo Questions)* Are you able to tell us what this project cost the homeowner? A: About $60,000. lanscaped **Q: Sorry. Aqua blue pool. If I painted it black would it look natural?** *(in Photo Questions)* It is near a natural ornamental dam brimming with life. Someone suggested painting it gold would make the water look green and more natural. Any suggestions? It is a salt chlorinated swimming pool. A: You are very welcome. I will try and get a few images up, within the next few weeks, to show the difference. **Q: Have you ever heard of anyone heating a natural swimming pond?** *(in Photo Questions)* We have a natural swimming pond in MN and I would love to heat it to extend the swimming session a little bit. Any ideas on an economical way to heat a natural swimming pond 5-10 degrees? A: To isolate it and keep it cleaner. You still habe the challenge of keeping up with wster quality of the whole body of water. **Q: I love this pool. What colour or stone is the inside of it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-02.*
