Natural Swimming Ponds | Chemical-Free Design & Build
A natural swimming pond keeps its water clear with a planted regeneration zone and beneficial bacteria instead of chlorine. We design and build them across the Southwest, sizing the biology to the swim volume so the water stays clean through a full Texas summer.
How the filtration works
Water circulates from the swim zone through gravel beds planted with native aquatics. Bacteria on the gravel consume nutrients, the plants take up the rest, and algae is starved of what it needs to bloom. No chlorine, no salt, no acid.
Design range
From compact suburban swim ponds to estate builds with waterfalls, streams, gravel beaches and diving depth. Every build gets a proper cold deep zone and a regeneration zone sized to the water volume.

Roughly the same time as a chlorine pool but different work. Skimming, seasonal plant thinning and occasional pump service instead of testing and dosing chemicals. Annual deep cleaning of the filters starts at $2,500.
