Hope and I always wanted a swimming pool, so when we moved to Charlotte, we purchased a home with a pool. A few years later we purchased a larger home in a neighborhood with a community pool and tennis courts. Our boys swam on the neighborhood team and used the pool in the summer, but we really missed having our own pool for more convenient personal use and entertainment.
We began looking for a pool company and talked to 3 or 4 companies. Their proposals were okay, but struggled with solutions for the severe slope in our yard.
Another season passed and then a neighbor who was really pleased with their new pool recommended Rod Worthington and Artesian pools.
Rod met with us and quickly recommended a more creative and better solution for our slope situation. We toured many of the pools Artesian had built and developed a better idea of the materials we would use for our pool. The tour also demonstrated the quality, creativity and beauty of the Artesian pools. We especially liked their creative use of rock boulders and water features.
We worked with Rod on the design, and ultimately included two large boulders, a diving board, and a spa. We had a great experience with the pool project and simultaneously added a screen porch and expanded porch area.
Our boys and their friends used the pool for years and it was the location for many pool parties and happy hours. We also established a family tradition of using the spa whenever we had a snowfall.
The boys are grown now, but we still enjoy the pool. Hope and I are both marathon runners, so we use the spa on a year-round basis to soothe our aching muscles.
The pool was specifically situated to provide a panoramic view from our kitchen and dining area, so the pool, along with coffee, welcomes each day.
After 15 years, our pool still looks new and we haven’t had any significant issues.
We have an automated pool cleaner and are amazed at how little maintenance we need to perform.
If you want an artistic and customized pool from a company with a great reputation, we strongly recommend Artesian Pools.
