The main pool features an automatic pool cover, a raised beam with fire bowl columns and adjacent to a sunk in ground fire pit seating area. Other aspects of this pool design include a turfed play area, golf putting green with a sand bunker and custom multi-level hardscape pathways all accented with a modern style including low voltage LED lighting throughout.

In South Carolina a pool building permit is required for most in-ground pool installations, generally mandated at the local municipal or county level. Regulations often require a fence or safety barrier at least 48 inches high, with specific structural and electrical inspections needed. Licensed, specialized contractors are typically required for construction.
