A custom pool should suit your backyard, connect naturally with your home, and support the way your family wants to use the space. Sky Blue Pools designs and builds custom pools and outdoor environments for homeowners on James Island and surrounding areas.
Are you living on James Island, wishing you had a nice pool to swim in after a dip in the Folly Beach water? If you’re considering a new pool we can help you think through the design, layout, features, and overall direction of the project before construction begins.
We can meet and walk you through your options. Every property is different. Rather than starting with a standard pool package, the goal is to understand your home, your outdoor space, and what you want the finished backyard to feel like.
The right pool design starts with the property.
The size and shape of your yard, the location of your home, existing landscaping, access to the property, and how you plan to use the space can all influence the final design.
Sky Blue Pools works with homeowners to create custom gunite pools that feel intentional rather than added on as an afterthought.
Depending on the project, your outdoor space may include:
The goal is to create an outdoor environment that works together as one space.
Gunite gives homeowners flexibility when designing a pool around a specific property.
Instead of being limited to a small selection of predetermined shapes and sizes, a custom gunite pool can be designed around the available space, the architecture of the home, and the homeowner’s preferences.
That flexibility can be especially valuable when the pool is part of a larger backyard plan.
The pool itself is important, but so is everything around it. Decking, seating areas, landscaping, lighting, and other outdoor features all influence how the finished space looks and functions.
Building a custom pool involves more than choosing a shape and selecting finishes.
Before construction begins, it is important to think through how the pool will sit on the property and how the surrounding space will be used.
During the planning process, homeowners may want to consider:
Miro and Joe can walk through these considerations with you and help determine the next steps for your property.
For many James Island homeowners, the goal is not simply to add a swimming pool.
It is to create an outdoor space that feels connected to the home and gives family and friends a place to spend time together. Imagine going to the harlow and then jumping into your amazing pool.
That may mean incorporating a spa, creating space for outdoor dining, adding areas for relaxing around the pool, or developing a larger outdoor environment around the home.
Thinking about the entire space early in the process can help create a more cohesive finished project.
