Utah Custom Pools with Waterfalls

Yes, in most cases. Adding a waterfall to an existing pool is one of our more popular projects at SBI Waterfalls. During an initial consultation, we take a close look at your current setup and walk you through what’s realistic given your pool’s layout, surrounding landscape, and available space. Our in-house team handles everything from the plumbing and pump work to custom artificial rock sculpting, so there’s no need to juggle separate crews or coordinate multiple contractors. Whether you’re imagining a modest cascade or a full resort-style grotto with a slide, we’ll help you figure out what fits your backyard and your vision. Ready to find out what’s possible? Let’s take a look together.

Pretty much anything you can picture. Our team specializes in custom artificial rock waterfalls that are built and sculpted entirely in-house, which means every feature is genuinely one of a kind. Some clients want a natural-looking cascade tucked into the landscape, with boulders and rock formations that make it feel like the water was always there. Others go much bigger. Some builds include multi-tiered waterfalls tumbling into swim-up grottos, cave features tucked behind the rock face, integrated slides, and lazy river sections folded into one cohesive design. Our 3D Design Visualization process lets you see the complete picture before construction begins, so you can get precise about what you want without guessing at the final result.

A little, but probably less than you’d expect. Pool waterfalls need a dedicated pump and, like any working component of your pool, benefit from regular attention: clearing debris, checking the pump, and keeping rock surfaces clean. What most homeowners don’t realize is that a waterfall actually works in your pool’s favor. The constant water movement increases circulation through your filtration system, which helps keep the water cleaner and your chlorine working more efficiently. It also helps cool the water during Utah’s hot summer months, which is easier on your pool chemistry overall. Every waterfall we design is built with long-term usability in mind, using materials and pump systems suited to Utah’s climate. We’ll walk you through the full maintenance picture before we hand the project over.

The National Association of Realtors found that installing an in-ground pool can increase your home’s value from 8% to 15%. While those values fluctuate depending on the real estate market and your location, installing a swimming pool adds more than monetary value. You will have a space for holding parties with your friends, enjoying your alone time, and swimming to promote better health. Along with the additional property value, these benefits make installing an outdoor swimming pool an easy choice.

Concrete pool builds typically run between five and eight months from the start of construction. The timeline depends on the scope of the project, the time of year, and Utah’s occasionally tricky soil and weather conditions. A pool with a complex waterfall, grotto, and additional hardscaping will naturally take longer than a simpler build. Because every phase of construction is handled by our own in-house crews, we’re not sitting around waiting on outside contractors between steps. Clients tell us our timelines tend to stay more consistent than what they’ve heard from other builders. During your consultation, we’ll give you a realistic schedule based on what your specific project actually involves, not a generic estimate.
