About Wave Outdoors Pools
Wave starts with the property: pool, deck, lighting, circulation, safety, and the spaces around the water are resolved as one outdoor room.
Wave Outdoors Pools is licensed and insured, with crews bringing 20+ years of experience. The parent Wave Outdoors Landscape + Design profile currently shows a 4.9-star Google rating and 10+ consecutive years of Best of Houzz recognition.

The idea behind Wave Outdoors
We design the outdoor room first, then build the pool that anchors it.
Pool type matters, but it is only one decision. The flagship gunite or concrete path provides custom design freedom; fiberglass becomes the active alternative when access, space, and an available shell form fit the property.
That builds pools. It does not design outdoor rooms.
Wave integrates the pool with decks, code-compliant safety fencing, heaters, automation, and in-pool and pool-area lighting. We also handle village permits and engineering coordination for the pool project. For common planning questions, see the swimming pool FAQ.
For homeowners who want to see that whole space before committing to it, custom 3D design is available as a paid add-on, your pool, deck, and lighting modeled together in your own yard before anything is dug. See 3D pool design for how a session works.
