Infinity Pools

Negative Edge Pools & Zero Edge Pools

Imagine Your Poolโ€™s Edge Extending Infinitely

Picture this: Youโ€™re submerged in the calming waters of your pool, looking out to the horizon, and the edge of your pool seemingly carries on into the distance. This level of backyard nirvana is possible if your backyard has an ultimate view and you build a pool with an infinity edge. Whether you call it a negative edge or an infinity edge, you can enjoy the soothing feeling of your pool water flowing over the edge like a waterfall. A zero-edge swimming pool will also add a calming effect to your pool, but it is unique because, with this design, the water sits on the same level as your pool decking.

What Infinity Edge Inspires You?

Do you have an amazing view that youโ€™re planning on building your dream outdoor oasis around? An infinity edge on your pool is a great way to highlight a scenic focal point in your backyard. Whether you call it an infinity edge or a negative edge, this design element can create a dynamic visual effect and add an extra boost of tranquility. The smooth water flow from your pool to a non-traditional edge will add a resort-style element to your backyard.

If youโ€™re looking to add some calming waters to your backyard but it doesnโ€™t have a one-of-a-kind view (we get it, there are only so many of those around), a zero-edge is a wonderful design addition for your pool!

Zero-Edge Pool

Zero-Edge Pool

A zero-edge pool is designed so that the water seems to sit on the same level as your pool deck and adds an elegant touch to modern pool designs. Also referred to as a perimeter overflow pool, the water will silently flow over the edge through a small gap into a catch basin for circulation.
Negative Edge Pool

Negative Edge Pool

An infinity-edge or negative-edge swimming pool is popular for its visual impact because the water appears to disappear like a waterfall. One side of the pool is designed to sit lower than the deck level, leading to smooth water flow over the edge.

Seamless Automation for Infinity Pools

Seamless Automation for Infinity Pools

At California Pools & Landscape, we integrate smart technology to enhance your infinity pool experience. Using the Hayward Omni Automation Platform, you can effortlessly control the infinity edge flow, water circulation, and lighting from your smartphone, tablet, or voice-controlled device like Amazon Alexa. Maintain the perfect water level and spillover effect with automated controls that ensure a smooth, uninterrupted vanishing edge.
Advanced Filtration for Pristine Infinity Pools

From the day I choose CA Pools & Landscape through project completion, I have always been impressed. They are a TRUE Design-Build team with open communication and transparency. This ensures the customer is always up to speed with any changes. Steve R (Design), Steve D (Construction) along with Jordan, Gabe (Startup) are amazing with their approach. Sara D is the glue that binds it all together. With all the trades involved and ever changing decisions (mostly from me), she was instrumental in keeping the process moving. From initial design to a finished pool, spa landscape package built in less than 2.5 months is Amazing! I will highly recommend them to anyone in need.

California Pools was awesome to work with. Our Project Manager Ted made us feel like family and was quick to answer any questions we had no matter the time. Dustin also made sure all questions related to the construction were answered. Lots of moving parts and Ted and his team didn't miss a beat. We are beyond happy and excited with our new pool!!

Hire CA pools for your pool/spa project. CA pools came well-recommended by friends here in the Phoenix-metro area. From the first time our salesman, Stephen Reichmuth, walked through our front door until project completion, my wife and I have been very impressed with the speed of construction, quality, and finished product. Sarese Ferguson from the local office regularly emailed us about construction scheduling and patiently/ professionally answered our questions. I was very pleased with our construction supervisor, Sean Beavers, who came to our site almost every day to insure we were happy with progress. Sean is a very positive, patient person and an obvious expert in his field. He gets things done. Our pool was completed one month ahead of schedule! CA Pools exceeded our expectations at every step of construction. We now have a beautiful pool that has beautifully transformed our backyard, and is a lot of fun to use. We could not be happier.

CP designed and built our pool several years ago. We love it! On the rare occasion we have had a seal go bad or pump problems, we have been very happy with the service. They return calls or emails promptly and have someone at our residence within 24-48 hours. They follow up after the service to make sure we are satisfied and that everything is working. I strongly recommend California Pools!

We had gone thru multiple companies to get a quote and it was so frustrating that none of them could get our vision right. We kept explaining that we wanted modern, simple, etc. and they kept giving us these outrageous designs, tripling our budget. California pools, Ryan and Duane specifically listened, created a design that we LOVED and followed through with the construction process. The communication with california pool was top tier. The overall pool & equipment was done so well. It was such a great experience and we are SO happy with our entire backyard now.

Love our new pool and back yard. California pools staff helped us all the way with great design ideas and site layout. The installation was handled on schedule, the crews that came to the house were professional and good to deal with. Harscape crew was awesome and the landscaping crew helped us with ideas for other parts of our yard. The tile work was amazing and everyone worked very hard to stay on schedule. Cannot say enough good things about the process and the results!

We did as most customers do and shopped around before ultimately choosing California Pools. We had a few communication issues with our initial design before it was finalized but overall we had a great experience with California Pools. Our project looks amazing and family and friends all mention the great workmanship of the pool, the Ramada and the travertine deck. The entire Cal Pools team was great but there are a few individuals who we must mention. Thank you to Grace Johnson for the assistance, direction and patients in getting our project financed. Even though our project started the day after Thanksgiving we had no major delays. Scheduling through the entire process was easy since Myra Olson kept us in the loop and constantly informed from the onset of the project. It was great to be able to send her an email with questions or concerns and receive a response immediately almost every time. All the crews were very friendly and professional but we have to acknowledge Matt and the masonry crew. Julio and his team did an excellent job with the masonry portion of the Ramada and an excellent job with the travertine paver decking. Great, great attention to detail. We would be remiss if we didn't mention our project manager Pete Barrera. He made himself so accessible and returned calls and emails without hesitation. He dealt with every question or concern we had and that made this experience that much better. I'm sure he had other projects to deal with but he always made us feel like our project was his priority. The fact that he visited the site almost daily even if just for a few minutes helped minimize the number of items on the punch list. Thank you! We definitely recommend California Pools

I recently had some warranty work completed. The work consisted of replacing some tumbled travertine that had worn away around the edges, replacing the irrigation clock and replacing some travertine pool coping. Previously my spa light needed replacing which was done within 5 days of reporting the claim. The Warranty Manager Michael, Warranty coordinator Cari and Edgar ( person who actually did the work with one helper). As usual Cal Pools delivered in a timely and professional manner. I highly recommend Cal Pools for having a fair price, superb warranty and pleasant people to deal with. We always speak highly of this customer focused organization!

My husband and I are thrilled with our new pool! We initially met with Mike Lillis who drew up a great design for us. He was so easy to work with and spent time with us to come up with the most amazing pool and spa while keeping within the budget we had set. Once everything was rolling it was a steady and fast process. Shawn was always on the ball and oversaw the project. Marcee was amazing with all the email correspondence, because I always liked knowing who was coming next. It really was such a great experience and I highly recommend California Pools.

We started our process contacting 5-6 pool companies. Cal pools was the first company we contacted and our designer was Christopher Robinson. He had a design and prices within a couple hours. Contacted the other companies and no one even had a design within a week let alone prices for me. Chris was absolutely fantastic in every way possible. Any change we made he would have a new design and price almost immediately. There was a lack of communication in the middle of the build where we couldnโ€™t get a hold of the construction manager or scheduler, I contacted Chris and he said that wasnโ€™t right and he made sure someone reached out to me the very next day. They switched our schedule coordinator after that to a lady named Vina Ortega. Vina was a superstar for us. Her communication, knowledge, and all around customer service was top notch. Both Chris and Vina seemed genuinely happy for our family. I would highly recommend Cal pools. We are happy customers. Thank You!

We had shopped around, and working with a tight budget, California Pools & Landscape were the only ones willing to work with what we had. The sales person, Mort, was so helpful, and made this project much easier than we expected. We loved the 3D pictures that he provided as we were designing the pool. That made it so much easier to imagine, and nailed it dead on. We were able to get more than what we thought we would be able to afford, and have to say that the entire family was happy. Choosing the colors I thought was going to be difficult, but Mort made it a family event. Coming out with samples, taking us outside with a glass bowl of water, we were able to get a feel of how the different finishes would look. (Have to say a BIG thanks to Mort for standing outside with us that day, it was 114 degrees) From the start, Steve the project supervisor, came out and explained what the process was going to be. The communication between myself and everyone I dealt with at California Pools couldn't have been better. After each process, Steve came out to make sure that the work was done properly. We really appreciated the attention that they gave to the quality of the work being done, making sure every step was completed correctly. We have been enjoying our California Pool for 1 month now, and the kids are enjoying it every day. We would like to express our thanks to California Pools for working with us, knowing we were on a budget, and making our backyard enjoyable for family.

We had an error message pop up on our screen regarding our salt cell which we clean regularly the first of every month. Called Cal Pools it did take 3 weeks to get an appointment but when Alan came out he was professional and very informative! While we had been cleaning the salt cell every month with the pressure hose but we were not letting it soak in muric acid as he showed me how to do. This was something that was not told to us upon the initial review of the system. He replaced it and made sure everything was working great and he was impressed on how well we have taken care of the pool except for this little mishap and for that there was no charge for the replacement and trip out. Though going over the system with him was very informative, i video taped the first initial review of all the working parts but several things were not spoken of/discussed at that time. I recommend doing a yearly review with customers to make sure everything is going well. Big shot out to Alan!

We are thrilled with our pool and landscaping! We went with California Pools because they did EVERYTHING! They transformed a small, very plain backyard into our own little oasis with a freeform pool complete with a Baja Shelf, lighting, landscaping, and a soothing water feature. Leann Madar kept us well informed on what was happening and when. Matt Sauer got us started with a beautiful plan and Matt White checked on us all along the way, making sure we were satisfied, feeling comfortable, and answering our many questions. Each team in the construction of the pool and yard did their part in this project in a timely fashion and the worksite was kept tidy throughout. Todd Stewart was extremely patient and helpful in teaching us how to care for our pool and Luis is continuing to assist us with the new plants.

We couldn't be happier with the completed pool installed by Cal Pools. Granted, it took some time, with material shortages, labor challenges and weather, but the pros at Cal Pools didn't waiver from their commitment to us to deliver a professionally installed pool. The contractors showed up on time, cleaned up as the worked and treated our property as their own. We were referred to Cal Pools by our good friends. This is our 5th pool build and we were pretty sure we knew what we wanted. David Love, our designer, laid out exactly what we described. This is NO PLAY POOL. 26' wide, 48' long and 3.5'-10' deep with an elevated diving board. 67,000 gallons of water. We highly recommend Cal Pools and if you have an option, choose David Love for design. He also has a great sense of humor.

At the start of our process, we were looking for the least expensive route available. As things went along in our research process, we decided we didn't want to pay more than we had to, but we also wanted to ensure it was done right. We decided there was great value in things like excellent customer service, quality work, good communicaiton, accessibility and flexibility from our sales guy, Dave Grau. He truly listened to what we wanted from a pool and backyard, provided an initial plan, listened to our feedback and gave us several adjusted plans. He suggested Kool Deck over concrete (which we went with) and supported our decision for an in-floor cleaning system, provided suggestions on low maintenance plants (as we knew little about desert landscape options), etc. As the project progressed we really appreciated the updates from Sarah Dougan and the expertise from Sean Bradburn. The cost was somewhat higher than the other couple places we looked into but, as I said before, we wanted it done right and done promptly and CPL was able to get in while the house was being built. It was worth it to us!

I wish to express my thanks and gratitude for the service quality I experienced from dealing with California Pools and especially Leslie Gallegos and to Todd the Technichan. Their efforts in response, communication and professional repair are commendable. My compliments to the company, and these two individuals who represent the company.

My Dream Pool - Polynesian Paradise in AZ! I obtained three quotes before deciding to move forward with California Pools to build my dream pool, and I have absolutely no regrets. One of the many important aspects of trusting a pool company with my yard and money was the requirement of excellent communication. When obtaining quotes, the other pool companies did not follow up with me or did so far too late after on-site visits and lots of my time invested; however, from the very beginning of the initial pool design and layout (Thank you to the late, Scott Greenbank) every aspect of getting the pool built I was informed each and every step of the way, whether is was the scheduling of various stages, or even delays. The CPL app was an excellent resource to keep me up to date on everything and when I needed extra details or information, Alex Barone-Jay was always there with an answer for me in a timely manner as were the friendly staff in the Queen Creek Office. In fact, each person associated with my pool build was an expert in their craft and it was fun and fascinating to watch it come to life over several months. I struck gold with having Adam Redding as my Pool Supervisor/Superintendent. Adam is knowledgeable and personable and ensured to follow up on all the stages of the build and for those reasons I never worried about anything! The end result was exactly what I wanted and dreamed of for the pool. It was a pleasure and I'm so grateful to California Pools for not only this pool, but for the continued support and follow up when I had questions or needed anything!

Coordinated imagine concrete out promptly to repair and fix the problem. Thank you again California pools.

We requested bids for a new pool build from 4 different companies and chose California Pools due to their professionalism and word of mouth reviews. They were very upfront with the timeframe of the build times and walked us through what to expect. Our project manager Christian Pierre and our construction manager Jordan Thrasher we're fantastic to work with. They were always prompt at responding to any questions we had and made the entire project run extremely smooth. Each phase of the project was completed on or before the estimated dates and the contractors that did work were always courteous and did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier with the pool and they did a top notch job! We couldn't have made a better decision by choosing this company to do our pool.

As an update... We completed my pool last year and we love it. We did have a problem with the performance of the heater and its internal controls, and Bianca at Cal Pools has been very responsive in getting technicians out the next day as needed, and they stayed involved until the issues were resolved. While I wish I wouldn't have had the issue in the first place, it happens... and I was happy with their good customer service after the sale.

Frequently Asked Questions About Infinity Pools


Q: Why Choose an Infinity Edge Pool?

An infinity-edge pool creates a breathtaking backyard escape by seamlessly blending your pool with the surrounding view. The design offers a luxurious, resort-like feel, adding elegance and tranquility to your outdoor space. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, an infinity pool enhances your homeโ€™s value and transforms your backyard into a peaceful retreat.

Q: What is the Difference Between an Infinity-Edge Pool and a Negative-Edge Pool?

Infinity-edge and negative-edge pools are two terms for the same stunning design feature, often called disappearing or vanishing-edge pools. These pools create the illusion of water merging into the horizon, offering a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Q: What is the Difference Between a Zero Edge and a Negative Edge Pool?

A zero-edge pool, also known as a perimeter overflow pool, features water that flows at the same level as the pool deck for a seamless, sleek appearance. A negative-edge pool, on the other hand, has one edge slightly lower than the others, creating a waterfall effect as water flows over the side.

Q: What Overflow Option Will Look Best on My Pool?

The ideal overflow design depends on your backyardโ€™s layout and your aesthetic goals. A negative-edge pool is perfect for showcasing stunning views, while a zero-edge pool offers a clean, contemporary look. Both options add elegance and tranquility, ensuring your pool complements your outdoor space beautifully.

Q: Are Infinity Edge Pools Safe?

Infinity edge pools are designed with safety in mind. While they create the illusion of a vanishing edge, the water flows into a hidden catch basin below. This design ensures proper water circulation and structural integrity, making infinity pools a secure and visually stunning addition to your backyard.

Q: Can You Put a Pool Cover on an Infinity Pool?

Yes, specially designed pool covers can be installed on infinity pools without compromising their unique edge. These covers help maintain water temperature, reduce evaporation, and keep debris out, all while preserving the sleek aesthetic of your pool.

Q: How Do Infinity Pools Not Overflow?

Infinity pools are engineered with a hidden catch basin that collects water as it flows over the edge. This water is recirculated back into the pool using a pump system, ensuring a consistent water level while maintaining the mesmerizing disappearing-edge effect.

Q: How Much Does an Infinity Edge Pool Cost?

The cost of adding an infinity edge to your pool starts at approximately $15,000, with variations based on factors like pool size, the design of the edge, and the materials chosen. Each infinity pool is customized, ensuring a unique and luxurious addition to your outdoor space.

Q: Do Infinity Pools Need Special Cleaning?

Yes, infinity pools require specific maintenance due to their unique design. The main pool and catch basin need regular cleaning to prevent debris buildup and ensure smooth water flow. Additionally, maintaining proper water levels is essential to account for faster evaporation compared to traditional pools.

Q: Can I Build a Negative Edge Pool on Any Property?

Most properties can accommodate a negative edge pool with the right design considerations. Factors such as slope, drainage, and layout play a role in determining the feasibility of the design.

Q: What Are the Maintenance Concerns with a Negative Edge Pool?

Maintaining a negative edge pool involves monitoring water levels to support the overflow system and cleaning the catch basin to prevent debris buildup. Routine checks and maintenance ensure the pool operates smoothly and maintains its striking appearance.

Q: Can you swim in an infinity pool like a regular pool?

Yes, infinity pools are fully functional and can be used for swimming just like any other pool, provided they are well-designed and properly maintained.
