They helped to get our Swimming Pool Ready and Complete to pass multiple pool inspections due to a previous pool contractor’s mistakes. We will be using Hearthstone again in the near future for any maintenance that will be required on our pool. Thanks again Hearthstone for everything! **★★★★★ — Vicki Petty, June 2026** > When my husband and I started thinking about replacing our 20-year-old fiberglass plunge pool, we weren’t even sure we wanted another pool. We considered simply filling it in. But with four grandchildren, especially our oldest granddaughter who is nonverbal autistic and has sensory processing challenges, we knew how important the water was to her. Swimming is one of the places where she truly thrives, and we wanted to preserve that joy for her and create a space where our whole family could continue making memories together. > We had met with several pool builders a few years earlier and when we met with Brad Renken and Hearthstone Luxury Pools, I knew he was the one I wanted to build our pool. Although we weren’t financially ready to move forward at the time, when we finally decided to build, Brad was our first call and choosing Hearthstone was absolutely the right decision. > Brad’s architectural background and eye for design are evident in every aspect of the project. We came to him with a simple goal: create a beautiful family pool that fits naturally with our home and backyard. We trusted his expertise, and he delivered a design that exceeded our expectations. The pool is stunning, fits our space perfectly, and is larger and more functional than we ever imagined possible. > We also chose to have Hearthstone manage a landscaping redesign, including our challenging backyard hill, adding plants to our existing beds, and creating a gravel garden. Now that everything has had time to establish and bloom, the entire backyard has been transformed into a beautiful, cohesive outdoor space that we enjoy every day. > No large construction project is complete without a few details that need attention along the way, and ours was no exception. What mattered to us was that Brad never disappeared after the project was complete. He has personally taken the time to come by, answer questions, and address concerns, often handling things himself when he easily could have just given instructions over the phone. That level of customer service and personal investment means a lot. > A special thank you also goes to Courtney, who has been phenomenal throughout the entire process. She kept everything moving, coordinated with the many contractors involved, and was always responsive, organized, and kind. She truly made the experience easier. Every company needs a Courtney! We’d also like to thank Jonathan for his friendliness and keeping us informed on the timeline & made working with the Hearthstone team a pleasure. > Hearthstone didn’t just build us a pool, they helped create a place where our children and grandchildren can gather, laugh, and make memories for years to come. We are incredibly grateful to the entire Hearthstone Luxury Pools team, and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a pool or outdoor living project. **★★★★★ — HU-18217247, May 2026** > If you are looking for a pool builder that combines technical expertise with stunning design, look no further. I have had the pleasure of working with Hearthstone on two different custom pool projects, and their ability to execute vastly different styles is truly impressive.Their attention to detail, from the plumbing to the finishing touches is top tier. > Building a pool is a massive investment, but having used them twice now, I can say with total confidence that they are the best in the business. They don't just build pools-they create incredible outdoor living spaces. What truly sets Hearthstone apart is their incredible ability to listen and translate a vision into reality. During both projects, they didn't just push a standard template, they took the time to understand exactly how I intended to use the space and the specific aesthetic I was after. > They were highly collaborative, taking my initial ideas—even the vague ones—and refining them into a functional, beautiful plan. Whether I was describing the tiered look for the freeform pool or the minimalist, sharp edges of the linear design, they "got it" immediately. It is one thing to have a great meeting, but it's another to see those specific requests reflected in the finished product. They hit every mark, ensuring that the final build was exactly what I had envisioned. > It is rare to find a builder who is as good at communication as they are at construction. If you have a specific dream for your backyard, this is the team that will actually make it happen. **★★★★★ — Steve and Gay Colter, March 2024** > Brad of Hearthstone Pools has been awesome to work with. He listened to our needs and wants regarding the pool. Brad's rendition of the pool after our meetings was spot on to what we had visioned. He is very thorough in his explanations of how the pool is designed, built and operated. When searching for a pool builder, we realized that it is more than just a project, it is building a relationship. Brad is the factor that makes the journey with Hearthstone a worthwhile and enjoyable experience. > > Brad runs his business with honesty and integrity. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a beautiful built pool and company that knows what they are doing. **Comment from Hearthstone Luxury Pools + Outdoors:** > Thank you Steve and Gay! It was a pleasure working with you. > -Brad **★★★★★ — Kevin, March 2024** > My wife and I met with Brad at a home we were considering purchasing to have him provide an estimate of the cost to install a new pool. We did not end up purchasing that home, but the experience we had with Brad leading up, and including that walk-through was fantastic. He was very flexible with scheduling to meet us to do the walk-through, and he took the time to step through possible complications with the install (which I appreciated since we all know those things can happen!), as well as options for a pool. He was very positive in his approach and did not try to apply any pressure to move forward with his company. You can tell that Brad loves what he does and will do everything possible to provide a positive experience in working with his clients. Based on my experience working with Brad, I would highly recommend his company. **★★★★★ — Douglas Long, Aug. 2022** > I had a great experience Brad gave us a wonderful design and built it to perfection in a timely manner we have enjoyed our pool for 2 years with absolutely no problems **★★★★★ — Planet Earth Designs, Landscape Architecture, Aug. 2022** > We have been working with Brad and Hearthstone for around 10 years. Our company does the landscape design and installation around the beautiful pools that Hearthstone creates. When I am recommending Hearthstone to potential customers, I tell them that the vision and expertise that Brad brings to the table in un-matched in the industry. The pool designs that he creates are breathtaking and ambitious. He often exceeds the expectation of the client with the finished product. Working with multiple other pool contractors over the years, I see many other simple designs, or poorly thought-out spaces. This is not the case when you use Hearthstone. If you want a pool or outdoor space that is beautiful, functional, and/ or amazing, I would recommend Hearthstone for your project. **★★★★★ — Bryan Jackson, Aug. 2022** > Hearthstone did an amazing job with our pool! They came for a consultation and after viewing our backyard, they were able to create the perfect concept. When construction started they were top notch. They paid very close to details and the owner frequently made visited our property to ensure that everything was being done properly and with the quality that we expected. The work was done in a timely manner. We are very happy we chose Hearthstone to build our dream pool! **★★★★★ — Todd Jennings, Aug. 2022** > Amazing Design! Brad can take your wishes and desires and turn them into a spectacular outdoor playground. He has the vision and talent to make your dreams come true in a unique way that fits your style and property. On top of that Brad has the expertise and knowledge in the construction process to make it all happen in a way that exudes quality and style. **★★★★★ — Mike Colcombe, Aug. 2022** > Starting with Brad’s interview with us to learn what we wanted all the way through his custom design and build we were informed and impressed with his design selections and incorporating the natural environment of our backyard. We continue to enjoy our backyard “Resort” pool complete with rock features, grotto and waterfall along with our outdoor kitchen area. **★★★★★ — Good Job, Aug. 2022** > Brad and his team of skilled craftsmen created an incredible water feature for a very high end exterior Outdoor Living display for PMC Building Materials. This interactive display was needing some type of focal point water feature, but we had limited space. Brad came in and designed a waterfall that was perfect for the space! He and his teams conceptual skills are very impressive and his skilled craftsmen were able transfer the concept to reality, creating a water feature that tied our entire Outdoor Living interactive display together! The display area flows perfectly from one space to the next now and is aesthetically perfect. **★★★★★ — Craig Wolpert, Aug. 2022** > Hearthstone built an AMAZING pool for us. Because of the size/challenge of our project, we interviewed 5 pool builders. Brad (Renken) not only designed the perfect pool for our location, he was flexible with some changes and most importantly on budget. First time visitors ask us if we were on the TV show Insane Pools and I say nope, we used Hearthstone Luxury Pools. ## Selected projects - [Layered Outdoor Living Retreat with Custom Pool & Pavilion – Acworth, GA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/layered-outdoor-living-retreat-with-custom-pool-and-pavilion-acworth-ga-pj-vj~7786564) - Location: Acworth, GA - Photos: 7 - Description: This custom outdoor living project in Acworth, Georgia was designed to transform a sloped backyard into a highly functional, resort-inspired retreat.

A: Thank you for your question. We used brown and tan Tennessee flagstone on this project. We prefer to use material that is around 2 to 2.5" thick. Using a buff colored mortar helps the pieces blend together. **Q: pool color** *(in Photo Questions)* LOVE THIS! What color is pool sheen? A: Natasha, Comes down to a personal choice! Take into account your surrounding landscape and how each color looks in sunlight, shade, and at night with the lighting. I'm sure you'll make the perfect choice! **Q: Pool Color?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is the color of the pool the same color as the pool steps? Looks like a gray color. What colors? A: Thank you for the question. This pool is all the same color. Tahoe Blue PebbleTec. Please let us know if you have any other questions we can help with. **Q: Pool dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi! What are the approximate dimensions of this pool and what pebble tec finish was selected? A: Thank you for the question. This pool was 15' by 32', 3'6" to 6' deep. Caribbean Blue PebbleTec. Please let us know if there's anything that we can do for you. **Q: choosing a pool finish to go with bluestone patio** *(in Design Dilemma)* need help choosing pool finish A: When choosing a finish for your patio, we highly recommend Pebble Tec. It is what we use when finishing all of our pools. Fortunately, there are many different color options that will look great with bluestone patio. When considering your finish, the more important decision may be the color of your tile and how it coordinates with your pool finish. That being said, two of our favorite colors to use with bluestone that are light and inviting are Pebble Tec's "Creme de Menthe" and "Blue Lagoon" **Q: Building pool** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am planning on installing an unground pool in the near future. Does anyone have an in floor cleaning system? I am interested in how much extra that costs and how satisfied you are with the system regarding function as well as aesthetics. A: We prefer to use the system from A&A mfg. They currently have the most reliable and functional components. Their new channel main drains are fantastic as well. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-21.*
