That Bring

to Life

A pool becomes unforgettable when the details start working together. The shape of the water. The sound of a waterfall. The warm glow of fire. The sparkle of LED lighting at night. These elements turn a pool into an experience and a backyard into a destination.

At Fossil Creek Pools, custom features are not add-ons. They are expressions of your lifestyle and personality. From handcrafted natural rock waterfalls to sophisticated lighting and automation, our features are designed to elevate your pool from functional to extraordinary.

Every feature is thoughtfully designed, built with premium materials, and integrated seamlessly into the architecture of your pool and outdoor living space.

Handcrafted Water Features

Made by a Builder Who Learned from Nature

Our craftsman have spent decades perfecting the art of building natural-looking water features. Our waterfalls are not assembled. They are sculpted. Using hand-selected boulders and intentional placement, every waterfall feels like it has always belonged in your landscape.

  • Water feature with a small waterfall flowing over rocks, surrounded by green trees under a partly cloudy sky.

    Custom Waterfalls

    A classic, timeless element. Options include:

    • Natural boulder waterfalls
    • Stacked stone waterfalls
    • Multi-tiered cascading water
    • Pool and spa integrated designs

    Perfect for creating movement, sound, and a sense of escape.

  • Waterfall flowing over rocks into a blue pool of water.

    Grottos

    Whether you are imagining a pirate’s hideaway or a hidden romantic escape, grottos transform your pool into a destination. These small stone or boulder caves can be paired with lighting, waterfalls, and lounge benches.

  • A rectangular blue swimming pool with a stone wall fountain feature that has three streams of water flowing from it. The background shows a grassy area with trees, shrubs, and decorative urns on top of the stone wall.

    Deck Jets and Laminars

    Elegant water streams that arc gracefully into your pool. Laminars can include colored LED lights to create a dramatic effect during evening swims.

  • Overhead view of a swimming pool with two hot tubs, one bubbling and the other calm, surrounded by tiled flooring and furniture.

    Bubblers

    Fun, lighthearted, and visually striking. Ideal for tanning ledges, beach entries, or shallow shelves.

Luxury Fire Features

  • A backyard swimming pool with a stone edge, featuring three water spouts and two fire bowls with flames, surrounded by trees and potted plants.

    Fire and Water Bowls

  • An outdoor swimming pool with a cascading waterfall feature, surrounded by a concrete deck and greenery, under a pink and purple sunset sky.

    Raised Spas

    Add elevation, visual interest, and easier access. Raised spas complement both small and large pool designs and allow for spillover features.

  • Indoor pool with a waterfall feature cascading into the water, surrounded by brick and wooden accents, with outdoor stairs, garden, and residential houses visible in the background.

    Swim-Up Bars

    Built-in underwater stools allow you to enjoy refreshments without leaving the water. Ideal for the entertainer who wants to create a full resort experience.
