Which Exscape Group branches build custom pools?

Pool and spa work is available through the Cleveland East and Columbus North branches, and through Green Impressions on the Cleveland west side. Pools are not offered from the Columbus East branch. Your zip code routes you to the branch covering your property, so the first conversation is with the team that would do the work.

How far ahead does a pool project need to be planned?

Exscape Group schedules pool projects a season ahead, with design work happening over the winter for construction the following year. Pools involve more sequencing than most landscape work, including access, excavation, equipment, and everything built around the water, and that sequencing is what the planning time buys. A pool started in spring is almost always a pool finished late.

Can a pool be added to a property that is already landscaped?

Exscape Group designs pools into established properties regularly, and the first question is how the equipment gets to the back of the house. Access routes, what gets protected, and what gets restored are planned before construction rather than negotiated during it. Mature plantings worth keeping are designed around wherever that is possible.

What does a custom pool cost?

Pool projects are priced against the pool, the surround, and everything designed around it rather than by the pool alone. Exscape Group provides a written scope and budget covering the whole outdoor space before any work begins, so the decking, planting, lighting, and access are in the number from the start.

Custom Inground Pools Designed With the Yard Around Them

A pool is bought for the summers after it. Saturdays that start early, kids who do not come inside, the one place everyone ends up. It is also the biggest thing you will ever do to a yard, and the one you only get to do once.

The pool is fiberglass or vinyl, designed by a dedicated pool team inside Exscape Group. The yard around it is drawn by designers working in both the Cleveland and Columbus markets.

Everything That Happens Before the First Swim

Most of what makes a pool good gets decided before there is a pool. How the ground drains, where the machines come in, where the equipment sits so you never hear it running. None of that shows by August, which is the point. Then the pool, the spa, the decking, and what decides whether you are still outside in September: screening, lighting, plantings, and the patio and fire space that usually follows.

Resort-style pool and spa combination with stone surround

The pool itself is specialist work.

Exscape Group builds custom fiberglass and vinyl in-ground pools. Depth transitions, hydraulics, circulation, and where the equipment pad sits are all decided by people who do nothing but pools. Those are the choices you never think about again if they are right, and the ones you live with every summer if they are not.
The whole yard is drawn at once.

The deck, the plantings, the lighting, the shade, and the path the machines take all sit on one plan. That is why the maple you wanted to keep is still standing in year three, and why the gas line for the grill went in before the patio did.
Access is solved before the first machine.

You know in advance which way equipment comes in, what gets protected, and what gets put back. The lawn, the driveway, and the fence panel that has to come out are part of the plan rather than a conversation on the first morning.
One team from design to first swim.

One scope, one schedule, and one person who can answer for the pool, the patio, the plantings, and the lighting. When the first warm Saturday comes, no one is waiting on a trade to call back.

How a Pool Project Is Built

We start with how the pool will get used.

Who swims, how often, whether this is a summer centerpiece or a quiet place to sit. That changes the shape, the depth, and where everything around it goes.

You see the design and the number together.

Pool, surround, planting, lighting, and access, priced as one project so nothing arrives later as a separate bill.

We build it and then we care for it.

The property goes onto an ongoing schedule with the same branch, so the planting around the water is maintained by the people who put it in.

01.

One person who knows your property.

You get a single point of contact who stays with your account year-round. Not a rotating queue, not a different name on every email.

02.

The crew serving you is based in your market.

Our branches cover Greater Cleveland and Columbus, so the team on your property is local to it. Local presence is how the company was built, not a byproduct of getting bigger.

03.

Every visit gets written down.

After a service visit you hear what the crew saw, whether it was expected or not. Property history lives in one shared system across every branch, not in one person's truck.

04.

We are still here after the install.

When the first fall arrives and you are wondering what to cut back and what to leave, someone answers. The team that builds your space is the team that cares for it.

05.

We will tell you if we are not the right fit.

If your project is smaller, we will tell you plainly rather than take three weeks to not call you back.
