Play pools, spools, geometric and freeform shapes, and pool + spa combos. We design yours in 3D so you see it before we build it.
Every Apex pool starts as a 3D concept you walk through and approve before we quote it. The best place to begin is picturing the shape that fits your lot and how your family will actually use the water: laps, a baja shelf for the kids, a spa for year-round. Here are the five we build most across the Valley. Already own a pool that's showing its age? That's a pool remodel or resurface, not a new build.
Shallow end to end
A play pool holds a flat 3.5-to-5-foot depth from wall to wall, so kids can stand up anywhere and adults can toss a volleyball without dropping off into a deep end. It is the most-requested layout for Valley families, and it warms faster and costs less to fill than a diving pool.
For tight lots and small yards
A spool splits the difference between a spa and a pool, usually 10 to 16 feet long, built for the narrow side yards and small lots where a full-size pool will not fit. Add swim jets and a heater and it works all year: a plunge on a 110° afternoon, a warm soak on a January night.
Straight lines, squared to the house
Right angles and a clean single edge that squares up to your block wall and the lines of the house. Geometric pools suit modern and transitional desert homes, make the most of a rectangular lot, and give you a natural lane for swimming laps.
Curves that follow the desert
Organic, curved shapes that follow the natural grade and planting of a Sonoran yard. A freeform pool reads softer, wraps around a ramada or a boulder outcrop, and lets us tuck the equipment behind desert landscaping instead of a straight fence line.
A hot soak and a cooling spill
A raised spa that spills into the pool: a hot soak in winter, a cooling waterfall all summer, both running off one equipment pad and one app. The spillover is the sound and movement most people picture when they imagine their backyard.
You will not sign off a napkin sketch. Every Apex pool starts as a 3D design concept you can walk through, adjust and approve before we build. It is the clearest way to know exactly what you are getting - the shape, the decking, the water and fire features, the way it all sits against your house and the desert.
Renderings we show during design are concepts, not photos of finished pools. Apex is a new company and does not pass off other builders’ work as its own.
On the free in-home visit we measure the space, check access and grade, and talk through how you plan to use the pool.
We build your pool as a 3D concept - shape, decking, water and fire features, and how it sits against the house and the mountains. You move things around on screen.
Nothing is committed until you have signed off on the design. No pressure to move ahead on a pool you have not seen and shaped yourself.
A pool is a set of choices. These are the ones that matter most in Arizona heat, dust and monsoon season. We walk every one of them during design so nothing is a surprise later.
We design and build these pools for backyards all over the Phoenix Valley. Start with your city.
Tell us the yard and how you want to use it. We’ll measure, listen, and hand you a 3D concept in about a week.
