Features That Define Faux Edge Pools
A "Mirror-Finish" Water Surface
Continuous overflow creates a smooth, mirror-like water surface while helping remove floating debris for a clean, resort-style appearance.
Hidden Perimeter Drainage
A concealed perimeter slot captures overflowing water before it's routed through a hidden surge tank, filtered, and recirculated back into the pool.
Sleek Deck-Level Integration
Decking sits flush with the water's edge, creating a seamless transition that complements modern homes and minimalist outdoor living spaces.
Precision-Leveled Masonry
Precision laser leveling allows water to flow evenly across the entire perimeter, creating the smooth, silent overflow faux edge pools are known for.
Contemporary Glass Tile Accents
Glass tile accents highlight the overflow edge, adding shimmer and a refined finish that stands out in daylight and under LED lighting.

Our Build Process
Our Build Process
The journey begins with an initial consultation, budget alignment, and a thorough site evaluation to account for constraints like setbacks, drainage, and elevations.
You will collaborate with a Design Ambassador to finalize 3D renderings and a custom gunite pool layout, while the Blue Haven team handles the heavy lifting of engineering coordination, HOA documentation, and municipal permitting.
Once approved, the dedicated local construction team begins the pool excavation, which is quickly followed by steel and rebar installation.
Next, they construct the steel-reinforced gunite shell, which is engineered specifically to withstand ground pressure and high water tables, and is backed by a transferable lifetime structural warranty.
With the shell in place, the team installs the complete plumbing and circulation systems, alongside all necessary electrical and bonding work.
During this phase, they also install your pool equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, and the exclusive automated SmartFeatures® designed to make pool care virtually effortless.
This is the phase where your design truly comes to life. The team installs your selected waterline tile, glass accents, and coping. The pool interior is then coated with your chosen plaster, such as a highly durable quartz or premium pebble finish.
Finally, the decking and hardscape, whether travertine, marble, or concrete pavers, are meticulously laid out, and custom enhancements like LED lighting, sheer descents, or fire bowls are integrated.
The construction process concludes with the initial pool startup and a post-build walk-through (often called "pool school") to ensure you know exactly how to operate your new backyard features. Long after the project is completed, you are fully supported by Blue Haven's dedicated in-house warranty department for any future needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
A faux edge pool, also known as a zero-edge, negative edge, or perimeter overflow pool, sits flush with the surrounding deck so water overflows into a concealed drainage system around the perimeter. An infinity edge pool spills over one side, typically to emphasize a view or sloped property.
Actually, they can be easier. Because the water is constantly "skimming" over the entire perimeter into a hidden slot, surface debris like leaves and bugs are removed much faster than in a traditional pool with only one or two small skimmer baskets.
It is a complex structural upgrade, but it is possible. It requires raising the pool floor or modifying the bond beam to create the overflow slot and surge tank. Our designers can evaluate your current shell to see if a faux edge pool conversion is right for your space.
Yes. We design the overflow slots to be narrow or covered with decorative, slip-resistant stones (like river pebbles or slotted pavers). This ensures a safe, walkable surface that doesn't interfere with your patio's functionality.
Absolutely. Faux edge pools can incorporate integrated spas, tanning ledges, and custom water features while maintaining the seamless, mirror-like appearance that defines the design.
