Custom Concrete Pools
Infinity & Vanishing Edge Pools in Kelowna
Vanishing edge pools create the illusion of water extending into the landscape—particularly striking on Okanagan view lots.
What this service covers
Infinity edge pools (also called vanishing edge or negative edge) create that iconic effect where the water seems to merge with the horizon. They're especially dramatic on hillside properties in Kelowna and West Kelowna where you can see the valley or lake beyond.
Building an infinity edge requires careful engineering. The catch basin, pump system, and structural design all need to work together flawlessly. Not every lot is suitable—we evaluate your property's grade, soil conditions, and sight lines before recommending this style.
When the conditions are right, an infinity edge becomes the defining feature of your outdoor space. The sound of water spilling over the edge adds to the resort-like atmosphere.
Why it matters: A visual statement that connects your pool to the valley, lake, or mountain views beyond.

Questions we hear often
Is every lot suitable for an infinity edge?
No. Grade, soil, setbacks, and sight lines all matter. We evaluate the property before recommending this style so you are not sold a feature that underperforms.
Does an infinity edge use more water and energy?
The catch basin and pumps add operating load compared with a standard pool. We discuss equipment sizing and operating expectations during design.
