Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The most popular options include rock and sheer-descent waterfalls, deck jets (laminar jets that arc water in a glass-like stream), rain curtains, bubblers on sun shelves, grottos with seating caves behind the waterfall, fountains, and spillover bowls. Any feature can be designed to suit your pool's architectural style.

Yes, though the scope depends on the existing plumbing and equipment capacity. Many water features can be added during a renovation by tapping into the existing pump system or adding a dedicated booster pump. We assess your current setup and tell you exactly what's achievable.

We use both, depending on your design direction and budget. Natural Tennessee fieldstone creates an authentic, organic appearance. Carved artificial rock (often called 'gunite rock') can be sculpted into any form and finished to look indistinguishable from natural stone, while being lighter and easier to integrate structurally.

Deck jets and sheer descents are typically run by a dedicated booster pump and add minimal energy cost. Rock waterfalls circulate water via the pool's main pump. Variable-speed pump technology means you can run water features at a reduced speed setting to manage energy consumption.
