Swimming Pools
Report

The days of "Kidney Bean Shaped" pools with three feet of concrete apron, inefficient loud pumps and chlorine pucks have been replaced with custom waterscapes incorporating natural stone patios & lush landscaping, custom glass tile & pebble finishes, web based automation, in-floor cleaning systems and architectural details like infinity edge and perimeter overflows that boggle the mind. In fact, todays pools can be completely run from from your computer or iPhone.
The most important part of installing a custom swimming pool is proper design, engineering and elevation. When determining the placement and balance of a pool, it is important to consider other architectural, landscaping and hardscaping elements including pool houses & cabanas, patios & decks, retaining walls, fencing and plantings. If a swimming pool is designed without taking the entire area into consideration, problems can arise including the need for retaining walls and drainage systems that were not originally budgeted or planned. Additionally, Frank Bowman Designs understands the demands of homeowners associations and happily supplies the drawings necessary to submit to homeowner and neighborhood associations.
Frank Bowman Designs prides itself on providing our clients with individualized service and attention to detail that is unsurpassed in the custom swimming pool or landscape industry. With a strong team of experienced and qualified professionals, including architects, engineers and designers, Frank Bowman Designs has a track record of taking the simplest to the most complex project from dream to reality.
I view landscape design and construction as both an art and a science. Every great Swimming Pool & Outdoor Living Environment begins with a vision or idea, and Frank Bowman Designs is committed to providing a one-of-a-kind, Custom Swimming Pool designed to fit your individual needs and tastes. The passion that I have for a project is directly related to the value that the client places upon the design.

From there we meet with you and discuss your wants, needs and budget while taking measurements, elevations and noting the architectural style of the house and surroundings. From there we create a custom design that is a representation of your final project incorporating design elements such as the swimming pool & spa, patio & steps, outdoor kitchen & fireplace, accessory buildings, pergolas, material selections, structural engineering. We also include associated trade requirements including electrical layout, gas lines, plumbing requirements, etc.
Often considered "softscape", trees, shrubs, and flowering plants, are the outdoor elements that make your house a home. Functionality is the driving force behind strong landscaping design, followed by visual appeal. Professional landscape designers will develop a customized plan based on the unique features of the client's home and outdoor space.

My fiance and I were really excited to work with Frank he came to our house and spent hours with us discussing different options. He even invited my fiance over to his house to see his pool. He then said he would have a written design for us by that Thursday and he would then be on vacation until that next Monday. We never received the written design and two weeks later now he has never contacted us.
We have called, emailed, and text him with absolutely no response. We were ready to start our project ASAP and now we have to start over with a new company. The way he has treated us was very unprofessional and a complete waste of our time.

We had our pool installed by Frank Bowman Designs and were blown away by the level of expertise and craftsmanship that Frank personally gave to our project. He was always easy to reach and cam up with great ideas all the way through the project. We would recommend Frank and his company to anyone looking for a custom swimming pool.
