The homeowner worked with The Pool Specialists to transform his previously tiny pool into a new lap pool that is a replica of his pool in California. He wanted the longest lap pool he could fit into the restricted space dictated by size requirements from Ladue. Construction required the homeowner to build a concrete wall as well as fill in a lot of land in order to get a flat piece of landscape for the pool. The west wall serves as a water fountain.

The main objective of this project was to match the pool to the home’s modern ‘rustic’ look. The design of the pool was integral to the outdoor spaces—specifically the stone patio, a meditation garden and the surrounding natural landscape. Auburn Park Landscaping installed a dry creek for the homeowners to help mitigate water runoff and the pool provides additional ambience to these quiet, meditative areas.

Bauer Falls was given the task of breathing new life into this 30-year-old pool. With the vision of creating a gathering place for family and friends, they began by removing bricks, breaking up concrete, removing stumps and adding new technology into the previous space. The addition of updated hardscapes truly took the pool to a new level. By developing the perfect balance between pool space and sitting areas, guests are now drawn closer to the pool and able to be immersed in the plants and seating areas that have been so meticulously created.

An exquisite water curtain creating rainwall visual and sound effects punctuates a distinct swimming pool created in Des Peres.    Homeowner Mark Lucido says when the house was built during 2023, his family desired a different swimming pool setup to match the home, all on one level. “The pool flows continuously from the house. And it has seams between the tiles, so no drain areas are seen from the top,” he explains.   

A geometric-shaped pool that reflected the architecture of the home and also integrated well with the overall landscape and fit into a small footprint was the main objective for this pool project. The homeowners worked with The Pool Specialists to create a summer splash spot that would include a section for lap swimming, an area for socializing and a tanning shelf where their small grandchildren could play safely.

Elevating the outdoor lifestyle of Kelly and Kevin Peck’s family is a new, in-ground pool constructed for their nearly 100-year-old home in Clayton’s Hillcrest community. "We feel extremely fortunate to have found a home with a level back yard and enough room for a full-size pool,” says Kelly. “We kept the pool design simple to match the historic nature of our house and neighborhood.” She adds the pool has plenty of shallow space for entertaining and games with their two children.
