When I purchased my 7 acre lot on a private 8 acre lake in the late 1970’s, I dreamed of having a pool that would complement the natural setting of my property. I had to find a special kind of pool builder who respected the land and possessed the imagination and ingenuity to design a pool with these constraints in mind. Rod Worthington with Artesian Pools was such a man. He understood my needs and desires and created what I consider a masterpiece for me. He built a black bottomed lagoon style pool with large granite boulders surrounding part of the pool and a waterfall coming out from between the boulders. The pool is now over 30 years old and has been virtually trouble free for all of this time which speaks to the quality of work he does. I have always maintained the pool myself; however, whenever I did have a problem I needed help with, Mr. Worthington was more than happy to talk to me and give me his expert advice on how to resolve the issue. My pool to this day still has the original tile, plaster, stone coping and rock salt patio. The pumps and filter are also original although I have made some minor repairs on them over the years. I would highly recommend Artesian Pools for anyone desiring a unique, quality swimming pool that will stand the test of time.

We needed to renovate your pool and couldn’t have found a better professional than Rod Worthington. He met with us several times to understand our concerns and offer solutions. He also got to know us, learn about how we wanted to use our pool, and designed a space that reflected our lifestyle. He showed us examples of his work and assured us — you’ll love this pool so much, you’ll never want to cover it. And yes, we do use it all year.

Rod and his team kept us completely informed about the costs and timelines, what work was being done and why, what was coming up and what to expect. We trusted his judgement and expertise and were rewarded with a pool and yard that we consider a work of art. Our pool makes us feel like we’re living at a resort!

We highly recommend Rod Worthington and Artesian Pools — he’s become our friend for life!

We spoke with several pool companies prior to selecting Artesian Pools to construct our pool and spa. Rod spent a lot of time with us in the design and look of the entire pool area. We have a handicap son so Rod’s thoughts, ideas and recommendations enhanced not only the wonderful design of the pool but also the functionality. The work was done on time and in a professional manner. Since the time of construction we have had few occasions where Artesian Pools has done some service to the pool and equipment and was always done promptly. I consider Mr. Worthington an expert on pool construction and equipment and he has never steered us in a wrong direction. I would highly recommend Artesian Pools if you are looking to build.

We are a Design/Build Landscape Architecture firm and often work with clients who dream of having a pool installed as part of their overall plan. Rod has no problems integrating our designs and making them a reality.

We never hesitate recommending Rod, as we know he holds himself to a very high standard and will stand behind his product. Time and again, he produces beautiful pools and makes sure he leaves our clients with full knowledge and understanding of how to perform basic maintenance of their new pool.

Rod Worthington…who owns Artesian Pools….was truly a pleasure to work with. I chose Artesian Pools over some of the “larger” pool companies because I wanted a personal touch which Rod provided. Rod and staff were on time and delivered what and when they said they would deliver. My pool and spa were built 7 years ago and when I email or call Rod, I get a response within 24 hours. I highly recommend that if you are looking to build a pool or spa that you consider Artesian Pools!

Three years after my wife and I built our home we decided to build a pool. We live on the lake and when our children were young we wanted a pool to be able to teach them to swim. We interviewed several contractors. We chose Artesian Pools. Rod Worthington without question understood the buisness and provided a solid quote that came in on budget. No surprises. I checked over 10 of Rod’s references and they all provided a great endorsement. I am very careful about who I allow to do work at my home and I could not have been happier with Rod and his team. They were organized, clean, and accessible. Anytime I called Rod he was accessible and that is important to me.
Here I am 14 years later and our pool looks and performs great! We have four children and all of them have spent endless hours in the pool with friends. Our place is definitely a place all the kids liked to frequent.
Anytime I have needed assistance with pump repair etc Rod has been prompt and assisted me with a fair price. Service after the sale has been excellent.
Rod and I have become friends over the years and I would recommend him for any pool project…..don’t take my word for it call any of his customers I will guarantee you will receive the same outstanding endorsement.

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.
