Feature of the Month: Bronze Scuppers💧

When it comes to custom pool water features, bronze scuppers are in a class of their own. Unlike copper, there is no need to worry about natural patina over time.

Why we love designing with scuppers:
✨ Visual Appeal | The warm metallic finish adds instant architectural contrast.
🔊 Acoustic Design | Scuppers create a deep, soothing water spill sound that helps block out neighborhood background noise.
🛡️ Durability| Built to withstand Florida sun, pool chemicals, and salt air without corroding.

Turn your sound up to hear that crisp water flow! 🎧

It’s all in the details. 🛠️✨

Once the interior finish is applied, the crew gets to work hand-troweling every single square inch of the pool. From smoothing out the floor to hand-shaping the radius on steps and benches, this step is pure craftsmanship.

A smooth contoured trowel finish isn't just about looks—it’s what makes your pool comfortable and durable for years to come! 💧

PSA: Always wet your interior finish samples💧

Dry samples only tell half the story. A light gray or blue can completely transform into a rich, vibrant aquamarine or deep emerald the second water hits it!

Watch how these pebble finishes change as we pour water over them... ☀️✨

Glass step markers are a great way to add jewelry to your pool! That's right - glass step markers mimic bracelets on steps, benches - actually anywhere elevation changes in your pool!

"A little Florida rain gave us the ultimate design preview..." ✨🌧️

Picking decking materials for a custom pool is one of our favorite design steps, but small indoor samples don't tell the whole story. You want to see how natural stone looks in its natural element—outdoors, under the open sky, and touched by water!

A light passing shower gave Tennille the perfect moment to walk through Keystone’s outdoor stone portfolio and show how Travertine, Marble, and Limestone transform.

Building your dream backyard should be an inspiring, easy experience from start to finish!

Our take on the Team Trust challenge | Pumpkin edition 🎃🎃🎃

Classic Nantucket charm, designed for modern Florida living. ⚓️✨

A truly great outdoor space isn't just about the pool—it's about creating intentional zones for how you actually live. For this custom design, we built a spacious coastal deck anchored by a stunning center pool, flanked by cozy fire bowl seating, a full outdoor kitchen, and an open-air TV lounge.

From early morning coffee by the water to late-night fireside movie nights, every square foot was mapped with layout flow, sun exposure, and architectural harmony in mind. ☕️🔥
