There is something undeniably magical about walking into your backyard and seeing a shimmering expanse of water that was designed specifically for you. It changes the entire energy of your home. It transforms a simple patch of grass into a private resort, a gathering place for family, and a sanctuary for relaxation. At Town & Country Pools, led by Mr. Emil Hermis Jr., we believe that a swimming pool should be more than just a hole in the ground filled with water. It should be a reflection of your personality, your lifestyle, and the unique architecture of your home. Building a custom pool is an exciting journey, and we are here to guide you through every splash and ripple of the process.
Why Choose Custom Over Cookie-Cutter?
When you start thinking about adding a pool to your property, you might be tempted by standard packages or pre-designed shapes. While these can serve a purpose, they often fail to capture the true potential of your space. A custom pool is designed with your specific yard in mind. Whether you have a sprawling estate with rolling hills or a compact suburban backyard with tight corners, a custom design maximizes every inch. We look at the sightlines from your living room windows, the path of the sun throughout the day, and the natural topography of the land. This ensures that the pool feels like an organic extension of your home rather than an afterthought.
Designing for Your Lifestyle
The beauty of a custom pool lies in its ability to adapt to how you live. Before we dig a single shovel of dirt, we want to know about you. Are you a family with young energetic children? If so, we might suggest a design that features a large shallow end, perhaps with a beach entry or a tanning ledge where the little ones can splash safely while you supervise from a lounge chair in the water. On the other hand, if you are an avid swimmer looking to fly through laps for exercise, a long, sleek rectangular design with dedicated swim lanes might be your ideal fit. For those who love to entertain, we can incorporate swim-up bars, built-in seating, or acoustic features that make your pool the ultimate party hub. Your lifestyle dictates the design, not the other way around.
The Aesthetic Details That Matter
A custom pool allows you to play with materials and finishes to create a true work of art. Gone are the days when your only choice was white plaster and blue tile. Today, the options are nearly endless. You might choose a dark, pebble finish for the interior to give the water a deep, lagoon-like appearance that mirrors the sky. Or perhaps you prefer glass mosaic tiles that catch the sunlight and create a dazzling, jewel-box effect. We can incorporate natural stone coping for a rustic look or clean-line concrete for a modern, industrial vibe. Water features like cascading waterfalls, elegant sheer descents, or bubbling fountains add both visual drama and a soothing auditory backdrop to your outdoor space.
Enhancing Your Property Value
Beyond the immediate joy and lifestyle benefits, a well-designed custom pool is a significant investment in your property. It is a major selling point that can set your home apart in the real estate market. However, the key word here is “well-designed.” A pool that looks out of place or poorly constructed can actually detract from a home’s value. That is why working with experienced professionals like the team at Town & Country Pools is so critical. We ensure that the design, the engineering, and the construction quality stand the test of time. When you build custom, you are building an asset that adds curb appeal—or rather, “backyard appeal”—that prospective buyers will fall in love with, should you ever decide to sell.
The Construction Experience
We know that the idea of construction in your backyard can seem daunting. Visions of mud, noise, and disruption are common concerns. However, we strive to make the construction process as smooth and transparent as possible. Mr. Emil Hermis Jr. and our team pride ourselves on communication. We keep you informed about what is happening at each stage, from excavation and steel rebar installation to plumbing, electrical work, and the final fill. We respect your property and work diligently to keep the site clean and organized. Our goal is to get you swimming as soon as possible without sacrificing the quality and craftsmanship that Town & Country Pools is known for.
Your backyard has the potential to be your favorite destination. It doesn’t require a plane ticket or a reservation; it just requires a vision. Let’s work together to turn that vision into a breathtaking reality.
