Absolutely. Custom pool construction allows you to include features like attached spas with spillover edges, waterfalls, rock features, sheer descent water features, bubblers, jets, tanning ledges, beach entries, swim-up bars, fire features, and LED color-changing lighting.

Adding features during initial construction is more cost-effective than retrofitting, so we recommend including them in the original design when the budget permits.
