Specializing in Timeless, Classic Pool Design, Build & Outdoor Living
Our Pool Styles
-
Sleek and simple, these pools are designed with clean lines and a minimalist approach. They are a true representation of the "less is more" philosophy, exuding a sense of effortless beauty. The result is a pool that is not only visually stunning, but also functional and easy to maintain.
-
In a world where most pools are rectangular or circular, freeform pools offer a refreshing and unique alternative. These pools have a more natural and organic shape, mimicking the curves and flow of a natural body of water. This makes them a perfect fit for smaller yards that may not have the space for a traditional pool.
-
These sleek and minimalistic pools are the perfect addition to any city dweller's home. With their compact size and modern design, they are the epitome of luxury and sophistication.

“Scott Donovan worked with my clients to make my sale go through. I had a $2 million+ listing in Frontenac, and the buyers loved the home but really wanted a pool. I called Scott, and he put a plan and drawings together—the buyers loved it and bought the home! Scott was easy to work with, and the clients could not be happier with the home of their dreams and a new pool. Scott made it all happen! I highly recommend him and his company!”

“As a general contractor, I worked with Scott on many occasions on building projects that included swimming pools. When we eventually moved forward and had a pool built at our own home, I worked closely with Scott and it was in all respects, an excellent experience. The attention to the process of design and construction detail, and most importantly, sensitivity to our needs was outstanding. Good communication is key to a successful construction project, and he exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with the results, and we would happily recommend Scott for you next pool project.”
