Custom Lakeside Infinity Edge Pool and Spa

Bradford Products

This private residence went all out when it came to their pool and spa combination. This infinity style pool is attached to a spa separated by a wood block walkway. If you are siting in the spa, the water spills over into a custom water and fire feature. This spa is 100% custom built for this residence. The pool features four stainless steel bar stools which look over the side yard and the lake. The custom rock feature acts as a bar to rest your drinks on during a beautiful summer day. The pool section of this is 24′-4″ has a depth of 3′-11″ throughout. The pool’s side facing the lake is a perfect infinity style pool which makes the pool look like it runs right into the lake. The spa and fire feature attached the pool add more to this custom look. The spa is large enough for 4-6 bathers and features 16 of Bradford’s commercial hydrotherapy jets, as well as a custom spill over that falls into the fire feature. The pool came shipped in two sections, while the spa and fire feature all came in one piece. Bradford sent their highly skilled craftsmen to the site to make the final touches on this vessel to truly bring this homeowners idea to life.

Here is the perimeter overflow spa that is part of the perimeter overflow pool. We tore out the old sps that was part of the old pool and moved it over 3'. You can see we used either a double or triple jet system in this spa. We also used flagstone as the coping around the pool and spa, it was all puzzle cut into place. the remaining deck was stamped concrete

Country Infinity Pool Design Ideas

Swimming pools are heavenly during hot Australian and New Zealand summers and are the perfect way to cool down, relax, entertain friends and even get fit. A country pool can also create visual interest, especially when you consider features like coloured pool tiles, lighting and landscaping. If you are short on space, you might still fit a lap pool, plunge pool or swim spa, all of which could be focal points in your small garden. As you plan your country pool design, map out your space and determine what size, shape and style works best for you. Browse the photos on Houzz for design ideas for above ground pools, inground pools, as well as pool landscaping and novelty features like pool slides or water features. Then, save your favourite photos to an ideabook, and get in touch with the experts behind your favourite picks.

What type of pool should I install?

The dimensions of your country backyard will determine the type of inground pools you can install. Take into account boundary restrictions and pool fencing compliance. Fibreglass versions are cheaper, and quicker to install; whereas concrete constructions are better suited to tricky sites and give you more freedom in design. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to commit to an inground pool, above ground pools are a more affordable alternative. If you only have a small backyard, a plunge pool is a great solution, and can easily run along a boundary wall or down the side of a house. This option is also low maintenance, can be heated for use in winter, and can do double duty as a swim spa. A long, narrow space, on the other hand, could fit a lap pool, whereas a water feature could fill an awkward space. If your backyard features a stunning vista, consider an infinity pool to accentuate the view.

What pool fencing options are available?

While the specifics vary from state to state, fencing is required of most pool designs. However, pool fencing doesn’t have to obscure your country pool design. Glass fencing is increasingly popular for this reason exactly, and is available framed, frameless, semi-frameless and even in-ground. A cheaper alternative is aluminium or steel fencing, which, again, are available in a variety of styles: flat top, loop-top, double-top and wire-based.

What pool landscaping features should I consider?

To get the most out of your country pool, design an area that offers multiple hangouts. Include a nearby barbecue, dining area, seating for lounging and outdoor shower. Having shaded areas will give you more reason to stay poolside longer, too. Timber decking and stone paving are popular choices for pool surrounds, and are also helpful in creating zones. Just imagine a raised timber platform with a daybed – a luxurious, resort-style addition to any pool design. Leafy trees and rocks will create a more natural-looking oasis, and will help provide more privacy for swimmers. Where you want your landscape to be the main focus, keep pool equipment and furnishings to a minimum.
