The Outdoor Dreams Difference
What sets our projects apart
All Outdoor Dreams swimming pools are meticulously engineered to ensure long-term structural integrity and peace of mind for our clients. Building a durable swimming pool requires more than just high-quality materials; it demands a careful, site-specific engineering process to handle the unique demands of each property.
Whether it's custom gunite or fiberglass, Outdoor Dreams prides itself in offering swimming pools with surperior shells.
Outdoor Dreams' gunite pool structures stand out from the competition with their superior strength and durability. We build our pools with 8-inch thick concrete walls and floors, reinforced with No. 4 rebar, offering greater stability than the competition's 6-inch walls and No. 3 rebar. Our 12-inch bond beams also provide a more robust framework compared to their 10-inch counterparts.
For fiberglass, Outdoor Dreams proudly offers shells manufactured by industry leaders Latham Pools and Imagine Pools. Latham is the largest designer, manufacturer and marketer of inground residential swimming pools in North America with over six decades of experience. Imagine is a privately-owned, family-run company and one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fiberglass swimming pools, with over 20 years of manufacturing experience.
At Outdoor Dreams, we proudly finish our gunite pools with the upgraded offerings from Wet Edge Technologies. Unlike traditional white marble plaster, which offers only a basic aqua color, Wet Edge finishes allow for a customized look, enabling you to select from a range of hues to create your desired water color—from deep sapphire blues to lagoon-like greens. This flexibility lets you tailor the ambiance of your pool to complement your outdoor space.
These upgraded products also provide a longer-lasting, vibrant finish that resists fading, ensuring your pool maintains its beauty year after year. Our Wet Edge finishes are backed with a 20 year warranty.
Because swimming pool projects are inherently large in size, with countless possibilities and features, a good design process is essential for planning. Our team of designers and architects follow a reliable process to ensure that every detail is tailored to your unique preferences and site conditions.
From design through build, Outdoor Dreams takes a holistic approach to every project and provides turn-key service to ensure that homeowners are left with a swimming pool and outdoor space that is immediately ready to enjoy.
