A Backyard Should Feel Beautiful At Every Hour
The best pool environments don’t showcase just one feature.
They combine water, light, heat, seating, sound and flow in a way that makes the backyard easier to enjoy from morning to night.
- A spa gives the space comfort.
- A waterfall or bubbler adds movement.
- Fire bowls or a fire pit create warmth and drama.
- The pool ties it all together as the center of the experience
We help South Carolina homeowners plan these details early so the finished space feels intentional instead of pieced together later.
Custom Features That Turn
A Pool Into A Backyard Destination

Add warm water, built-in seating, and a natural gathering point that works beautifully beside the pool.
Waterfalls
Create movement, sound, and a resort-style focal point that makes the backyard feel more relaxing.
Bubblers And Jets

Fire Bowls
Add visual drama, warmth, and a striking contrast against water at night.

Create a natural hangout zone for conversations and entertaining

Connect the pool, spa, fire area, patio, and seating zones into one comfortable layout.
Add Comfort, Warmth And A Natural Place To Gather
A spa creates a place to relax after work, recover after a long day, or enjoy a quiet evening without a swim workout.
The key is designing the spa as part of the pool environment Shape, height, spillover style, seating, steps, lighting and equipment: they all contribute to the finished product.
Design Choices
- Raised or flush spa layouts
- Spillover edges
- Built-in benches
- Step and entry placement
Ownership Choices
- Heating options
- Automation controls
- Lighting schedules
- Equipment planning

A water feature should match the mood you’re looking for.
We’ll help you think through scale, placement, pump needs, maintenance, and how the features complement your entire home aesthetic.
Water Features Add Movement, Sound, And Personality
A subtle spillover can soften the space. A waterfall can become a focal point. Bubblers can add fun to a sun shelf. Deck jets can create a clean, modern look.
- Waterfalls and grottos
- Sheer descents and scuppers
- Deck jets and laminars
- Bubblers for tanning ledges

Fire Features Bring Warmth, Contrast, & Evening Drama
Fire and water together create a backyard that feels memorable. Fire bowls near a pool edge, a fire pit beside the seating area, or a fireplace-style feature can extend the mood of the space long after the sun goes down.
These features need thoughtful planning. Placement, wind exposure, gas line access, seating distance, traffic flow and safety all matter. Legacy Pools helps you plan fire features in a way that feels beautiful, practical and intentional.
Fire Bowls
Provide a strong visual impact along raised walls, pool edges, and focal points.
Fire Pits
Provide a strong visual impact along raised walls, pool edges, and focal points.
