INGROUND SWIMMING POOL DESIGN

CUSTOM BUILT TO PERFECTION 

DARSAN CONTRACTING OFFERS INGROUND SWIMMING POOL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

A custom inground swimming pool design will turn your backyard into an elegant outdoor resort. Creating a tranquil environment right in the comfort of your own home has become increasingly important to many home owners. A getaway for family and friends to connect, spend time together, and create lasting memories. This will be the ultimate outdoor living space that will compliment your sense of style as well as create a warm and inviting environment right in your own backyard.

An inground swimming pool design will require careful planning. When designing the right pool to suit your needs, consideration must be given to the home owners’ lifestyle, entertainment needs and budget, as well as the property size, shape, existing grades and sun exposure. Swimming pools come in a variety of shapes such as free form, natural, and contemporary / geometric. There are two main types of inground swimming pools; gunite and vinyl lined.

A basic inground swimming pool design can be transformed into a unique, trendy hot spot by adding a few built in features such as a swim-up bar, underwater bench and stools, which will provide great escapes for relaxing while still remaining cool in the water. Beach entry or gradual entry features will provide a shallow area for play. Accessories such as sheer descent water features, waterfalls, grottos, diving rocks, and specialized lighting can be incorporated into your inground swimming pool design. Technology enables home owners to control water features, temperature and lighting from a control panel or a remote control system.

Darsan Contracting understands that every project is unique. An inground swimming pool serves as a relaxing and inviting focal point and is the ultimate in summer fun.

WATER FEATURES

WHIMSICAL SERENITY

WATER IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT IN CREATING A PEACEFUL, INVITING RETREAT IN YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE AND HOME ENVIRONMENT

WATER FEATURES

Water is a fundamental element in creating a peaceful and inviting retreat in your outdoor living space and home environment. Darsan Contracting can imitate an impressive water garden scene right in your own back yard.  

Sheer Descent Water Features will add motion, sound, and visual interest to your backyard; bringing your swimming pool to life. A sheer descent water feature is unique and will produce a clear arc of water projecting away from the pool wall. The flow of water can be adjusted to create an almost silent, glass like sheet of water. By increasing the flow of water you can create a cascading water fall effect. There is something captivating about a waterfall in a pool.

Swimming Pool Waterfalls are sophisticated rock formations that are capable of producing a wide range of water effects to suit any mood or environment. Factors to consider when designing are features such as divided or single streams, arc of the water and water flow. Swimming pool waterfalls are built to compliment the property’s natural surroundings and pool size. The sights and sounds of nature are brought into your backyard creating your very own oasis. Not only will it add value to your home but it will undoubtedly beautify it.

A Natural Rock Grotto is one of the ultimate water features you can add to your inground swimming pool. A grotto is designed to look like a cave or sheltered cove. Include a swim bench under the grotto and imagine sitting underneath as water cascades down right in front of your eyes.

A Vanishing Edge swimming pool gives the appearance of endlessness like an ocean horizon. This water feature allows the water to flow over one side of the pool, into a lower trough. The water is then pumped through a filter and back into the main swimming pool.

Deck Jets create glistening arcs of water from your deck into your swimming pool. These translucent streams of water can be brilliantly coloured with LED or fiber optic lighting. This will make the most of your water feature both in the day and night time. The result is elegant and stunning.


Water Gardens can be integrated into your landscape design and existing surroundings to create a natural and realistic feeling. Natural style water gardens are designed to create the illusion of a stream with a waterfall. The look of a naturally formed stream is created by incorporating Armour stone boulders (in a variety of sizes and shapes), flatter, thinner pieces of flagstone, together with a bed of river rocks. The careful placement and arrangement of stones can fine tune the sound of the waterfall that you prefer. You may want the splashing sound of water cascading over a waterfall or perhaps the soft, soothing, trickling sound of water to create a relaxing atmosphere. Splashes of colour are added by including an assortment of lush plant material.


Formal style water features are usually placed at the end of a path or in the center of a patio in order to create a focal point within the landscape design. They are symmetrical and common shapes are square, rectangle, circular or hexagon. Fountains or statues can be placed within a formal water feature to add interest or create an ornate appearance. Planting should include small boxwood hedging or plants that are uniform in shape, size and colour and placed in repeating patterns.
