APSP Silver Award 2018 International Awards of Excellence: Pools with a Vanishing Edge, 601 sq ft or more

The project

Inside the build

This Marietta pool won a Silver Award in the 2018 APSP International Awards of Excellence (the APSP is now the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance), in the category for vanishing-edge pools of 601 square feet or more. The lot has a 13-foot grade drop, and the pool was designed around that slope.

The pool is cantilevered, with a 52-foot curving vanishing edge and a cave beneath it. The vanishing-edge wall is finished in pebble mosaic and flagstone, a design inspired by Kennesaw Mountain.

The pool also has an upper sun shelf with a stair-stepped waterfall, and the deck is Ipe, a Brazilian hardwood.

"If you are looking for a pool builder that combines technical expertise with stunning design, look no further. I have had the pleasure of working with Hearthstone on two different custom pool projects, and their ability to execute vastly different styles is truly impressive. Their attention to detail, from the plumbing to the finishing touches is top tier. Building a pool is a massive investment, but having used them twice now, I can say with total confidence that they are the best in the business."
