Our Pool Services for Anthem Properties
Anthem properties were primarily built between the early 2000s and 2010s, with a mix of production homes and custom lots in the Country Club section. Many homes are now reaching the age where pools need updating, while other homeowners are adding pools to properties that didn't originally include them. Our services address both situations with an approach tailored to Anthem's specific conditions.
Pool Design
Anthem lots vary from standard subdivision sizes in the original community phases to larger parcels in Anthem Country Club with elevation changes and desert terrain. Pool design must account for HOA building envelopes, existing covered patios, yard orientation, and how families plan to use the pool. Properties with views toward Daisy Mountain or the surrounding desert benefit from designs that take advantage of those sightlines while maintaining privacy from neighboring homes.
Pool Construction
Anthem sits at a slightly higher elevation than much of the Valley floor, and soil conditions commonly include desert hardpan, caliche, and rocky substrata, particularly in the Country Club and hillside areas. Construction in Anthem falls under the City of Phoenix's permitting jurisdiction, which involves plan review, structural engineering, barrier compliance, and inspections at key stages. We manage the entire process from excavation through final startup.
Pool Remodeling
Many Anthem pools are now 15 to 20 years old, and homes in the original community phases are prime candidates for remodeling. Common projects include resurfacing deteriorated plaster, replacing faded waterline tile, upgrading to variable-speed pumps and energy-efficient equipment, adding LED lighting, and incorporating features that weren't part of the original build. We evaluate each pool's structural condition and recommend practical upgrades that extend its useful life.
Pool Features
Anthem homeowners frequently enhance their pools with features that improve comfort and extend usability. Popular additions include spa additions, tanning ledges, bubblers, water features, fire bowls, upgraded LED lighting for evening use, and automation systems that allow remote control of pool functions. We design features that complement the existing or new pool layout and work within the available space.
Outdoor Living
Anthem families are active outdoors, and well-designed backyard spaces see heavy use from fall through spring. We design and build patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, fire pits, and seating areas that integrate with the pool and create functional outdoor environments. Material selections prioritize heat-resistant surfaces and finishes that stand up to Anthem's sun exposure and occasional dust storms.
Custom Pool Builders
Anthem's range of lot sizes and property types means a tailored approach produces better results than a standard design. A compact lot in Parkside needs a different solution than a hillside property in Anthem Country Club. As custom pool builders, we design each project based on the specific property conditions, homeowner priorities, and how the pool will be used day to day.
