Frequently Asked Questions for Lake Nona Residents

Do you design pools that match modern Lake Nona architecture?
Yes, we specialize in sleek, contemporary designs that complement Lake Nona’s clean, modern aesthetics.
Can you integrate advanced smart-home pool technology?
Absolutely. Many Lake Nona homeowners use app-based controls, automation, and high-efficiency systems
Which Lake Nona communities do you serve?
We work throughout Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, Laureate Park, Laureate Park Estates, Medical City, NorthLake Park, Somerset Park, and surrounding areas.
Do I need a screen enclosure in Lake Nona?
While many homeowners prefer the open-air look to enjoy the Florida sky, others opt for a “Picture Window” screen enclosure to keep out debris and pests without sacrificing the view. We can design for either preference.
Why choose gunite over fiberglass?
In luxury markets like Lake Nona, gunite is the preferred choice. It allows for complete design freedom; any shape, any depth, and any finish. It is also the most durable material for Florida’s soil conditions.
