Custom Gunite Pools for Edmond Backyards

Edmond sits in northern Oklahoma County, just north of Oklahoma City, and big public water is already part of town life. Arcadia Lake, built on the Deep Fork River as a cooperative effort between the City of Edmond and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has covered boating, camping and lake swimming since it opened in 1987. A backyard pool answers a nearer question. It is water you can reach barefoot on a weeknight, with no trailer involved.

Your lot decides more of the design than most people expect. On a street of older additions, mature trees usually mean moving shade across the water, leaves headed for the skimmer every fall, and roots that push the dig one direction or another. In a newer development the same pool sits in open sun, which keeps the water warmer but makes a pergola or an umbrella sleeve worth drawing in early. Either way, the route the excavator takes into the backyard gets settled before the shape does.

Moving water and warm water both stretch what a yard does. A waterfall gives the pool a sound of its own, which matters where houses sit close together, and an attached spa keeps warm water outside after the season cools. Both belong to new construction and remodel work alike, so an older pool can pick them up during a remodel instead of starting over.
