Before excavation, steel, gunite, and decking, every custom pool starts with permitting and approvals.
Today we’re submitting documents to the county as we move another Blue Ember project from design into construction.
Custom pool project is underway here in South Carolina!
This one is moving from concept and design into reality, and we’re excited to take everyone along for the process from the very beginning.
🏡Buying a home with a pool? Don’t skip the pool inspection.
I completed a pool inspection last week for a homebuyer, and it’s a reminder that hidden issues with equipment, plumbing, leaks, or safety systems can cost thousands after closing.
Buying a home with a pool? Don’t assume everything is fine just because the water is blue.
A pool can have hidden structural issues, failing equipment, leaks, drainage problems, or upcoming repair costs that most buyers would never notice during a normal walkthrough.
Biggest mistake homeowners make when building a pool?
Choosing the cheapest quote.
It feels like you’re saving money upfront, but most of the time, it leads to:
Poor communication
Cheap materials that don’t last
Imagine walking out your back door this Summr and seeing your own custom pool instead of spending money on vacations, hotels, and crowded beaches.
We build premium pools with:
• Travertine decking
• Raised spas
• Tanning ledges
• Water features
No cookie-cutter designs. No cheap shortcuts. Just custom backyards built around how your family wants to relax, entertain, and enjoy your home. 🔥

Summer will be here before you know it, and the homeowners enjoying custom pools this year are already starting the process.
From tanning ledges and spas to lighting, fire features, and outdoor living spaces, we design pools around the way your family wants to use the space.
Most homeowners have no idea what a pool remodel actually costs.
Simple resurfacing projects are often around $12,000–$15,000.
Larger remodels with new decking, tile, lighting, coping, and equipment upgrades can range from $30,000–$45,000+ depending on the scope.
Rough plaster, cracked decking, faded tile, stained surfaces, outdated coping, and old lighting are some of the most common issues we see around Lexington.
The good news is most of these problems can be fixed without building a whole new pool.
A spa can completely change how often you use your backyard.
It gives you something to enjoy year-round, adds value to the space, and creates a more complete outdoor living setup.
Depending on the scope, many remodel projects can be completed in just a few weeks once scheduled.
New plaster, updated tile, coping, decking, lighting, water features, or a full refresh can completely change how your backyard looks and feels without starting from scratch.
🌙 The easiest way to make your pool feel brand new.
Modern LED lighting can completely transform how your pool looks — and how often you use your backyard.
It’s one of the simplest, highest-impact upgrades we install during remodel projects.
This backyard went from cracked, outdated, and underused… to clean, modern, and inviting.
We resurfaced the pool, updated the tile, and completely changed how the space feels.
A smart remodel can transform your entire backyard without building a new pool.
This is what happens when you stop thinking about a pool…
and start thinking about a destination.
Infinity edge. Elevated entertaining. Built to match the property — not forced into it.
This Lake Murray project is currently in design phase
💬 Thinking about a pool this year?
Late Summer / early Fall build slots are now being scheduled around Lake Murray & Lexington.
Design is the first step — and the earlier you start, the smoother the process (permitting, selections, scheduling).
