The combination of underwater lighting and a row of uplit trees in the backdrop gives this pool a heavenly glow at twilight. The raised spa and decorative rocks lead to a series of waterfalls spilling into a lower pool. A firepit and outdoor kitchen make this backyard paradise complete.
Where Water Meets Art
With cutting-edge designs backed by a wealth of knowledge and experience, Aquatic Artists, Inc., creates breathtaking concrete pools with numerous water features and effects. The result? An outdoor sanctuary that doubles as a work of art.
Trey Marshall, the company’s president and principal designer, was in the pool business for 20 years before opening up Aquatic Artists in 2005. “We observed tremendous growth in the luxury home market from central North Carolina to the coast,” Marshall says. “We saw a need for truly experienced designers and builders and assembled a team of some of the best craftsmen in their respected trades. We use our talents and creativity to meet every challenge with customer satisfaction in mind.”
By choosing Aquatic Artists, clients can be confident that their pool will be truly custom-built. The company provides its clients with unsurpassed quality, innovative designs, unique features, and distinguished craftsmanship. “From concept to construction, each project is carefully monitored by our team of experts,” Marshall says.
The firm has an exceptional ability to design based on the surrounding landscape and to then incorporate the pool seamlessly into the backyard. By using AutoCAD© (a computer-aided design software) in the design process, the company can file-share with a customer’s architect, engineer, and landscape architect. This is ideal for new homebuyers because any changes affecting the pool construction can be quickly incorporated.
Staying true to their motto—Our passion for detail sets us apart—the staff takes great pride in their art. The company maintains high standards of excellence, which have earned it several awards in the “Special Feature” of the Parade of Homes tour, as well as honors in conjunction with its luxury home building partners.
The aim of Aquatic Artists is to make each project as beautiful and functional as possible. As Marshall puts it, “Building beautiful backyard environments is more than our business, it’s our art.”
