Questar pools, and specifically Skip Phillips, designed the backyard pool for my previous residence. Skips professionalism and design vision were more than I could have ever hoped for. He was able to easily communicate his vision for our yard – explaining important concepts to us such as water levels, color and reflections, prime sitting areas, water flow rates, etc… As a novice, this information was extremely helpful.
Most importantly, the end result was a beautiful pool/spa/BBQ that we enjoyed for many years. When we later listed our home for sale we had multiple buyers – all of which talked about how beautiful our backyard was.
I would highly recommend using Questar pools for any of your yard/pool/spa design needs.

In 2000 we decided to build a pool, interviewed Skip of Questar and went with another company. Big mistake! Construction was not fun, our water feature wall leaked and the pool company went out of business. Fast forward 17 years: we again called Skip and he agreed to help redesign the project. Skip is a gifted designer: he knows pools inside and out having built them for over 35 years; he is calm, organized, listens to his clients and advises when it’s really important. In our case, Skip was willing to help put contractors together with us and walk us through every step of the way. This process, the design and outcome, has been a real joy. We’re so happy we had a chance to make up for our first mistake! No one is finer in this industry than Skip Phillips.

As owner of a Landscape Architecture firm, I have been working with Questar Pools for over a decade on the pools/spas/waterfeatures we’ve collaboratively designed for our custom residential Clients. We’ve never dreamed so big as when we’ve worked with Skip and Greg, both helping us to manifest the “unreal” and “intangible” in our design-work. Our Clients are thrilled with the results of our combined efforts, as we are – when able to deliver Luxury High-end results to all.

What is particularly comforting to our Clients is that they know that they not only can trust in the competency of the hydraulics engineering by Questar Pools above any other, but that they also will have a designed system that when competitively bid by selected builders will be “apples to apples” leaving nothing for interpretation.

We look forward to a great many more successful project outcomes!

Skip designed an amazing pool on a very challenging lot. He was able to take my requests and turn it into my dream pool while helping to educate me on the design choices as we went. He is the most knowledgeable pool designer in the business (my family was in the pool industry for over 10 years). His technical knowledge, evaluation of my lot, and considerations to ensure the pool is structurally sound is unparalleled. Not only does he understand the intricate engineering required to develop a vanishing edge pool design, he was able to provide aesthetic recommendations that I didn’t even consider which raised the bar on this project. He was also able to help me coordinate the pool builder and aid in the material selection for the pool. I had discussed the project with several pool designers and no one came close to Skip’s ability to develop my dream pool. It is well worth the money to get your pool professionally designed by Skip.

Skip is not only among the most influential watershape designers in the world, he’s also a wonderful human being. Rarely have I found one who is so willing to share his skills, knowledge, and gifts for the benefit of others. Skip and the entire team at Questar Pools set the standard in the industry for quality, professionalism, and artisanship. If you are a homeowner looking for a cutting edge design, look no further. If you are a pool builder in need of assistance developing plans for a project, as I was, you will not only walk away with an incredibly detailed set of plans, but also with a capacity to perform at a higher level.
