Watershape design is the creation of bodies of water that will function as intended and be a consistent fit within the site in which they are placed. In general terms, we create pools, spas and fountains that will be safe, maintenance free, energy efficient and beautiful.

We use water to bring a sense of serenity into people's lives. In terms of aesthetics, we use water to augment a peaceful space, to enhance certain views, to reflect certain features or even to dominate a space in special circumstances. We use color to create depth, soften spaces, , texture, line and scale to make sure that all of these ideas are translated to the real world. We use falling water to create sound, whether it is a soft trickling spout or a rushing waterfall. Water can also be used to improve health through exercise and hydrotherapy.

Rather than shave a few bucks from the bottom line, we don't cut any corners during the construction phase. There are many examples of this, and they should not be overlooked when comparing the costs of pool construction. This blog will get more in depth when it comes to these details, but these are just a few of the ways our pools are the best around. We use larger and better pipes, more concrete, more rebar, better drainage, better pumps, low-maintenance filters and automated controls among other things. If you've taken any pool education classes, much of this should be a no-brainer, but I am constantly amazed at how many local pools are built without any of these things.

Many pool builders will attempt to come up with the lowest initial cost, believing it's best for their business, and maybe it is. It is my opinion that the lifetime cost of each design choice (pipe size, pumps, filters, etc) is more important than its initial cost. By extension it is my opinion that if we provide our customers with a product that will save them money, maintenance time and electricity over the life of the project, they will be happier and more likely to refer us to their friends and it will be best for my business.

All of these concepts must be learned, so a commitment to education is the first step toward being a good designer. We have made this commitment, shown by the fact that I have taken numerous courses in the last 5 years all around North America.

By choosing a good designer you can create something truly unique that will last for years and operate with little maintenance or electrical cost.
