What Waterscapes Pools & Spas, Llc does

Waterscapes Pools & Spas, LLC is a privately held Florida-based custom pool builder and outdoor living construction company headquartered in Lakewood Ranch, FL. It designs and constructs residential and commercial swimming pools using gunite/shotcrete methods and offers supporting features including saltwater chlorine generation, variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, pool automation, pebble interiors, sun shelves, and water features. The company also builds outdoor kitchens (cabinets, granite countertops, grills, hoods, refrigeration, sinks) as bundled upsells to pool projects.

The business operates across six Florida counties — Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier — from three offices (Lakewood Ranch HQ, Bonita Springs, Lutz/Tampa). Its go-to-market is sales-led: customers request quotes via the website or phone, then move through a guided design consultation with named Design Consultants, followed by project management and construction. Pricing is fully custom and quote-based, with each project varying by size, design complexity, materials, features, and site conditions; revenue is generated primarily through one-time project sales supplemented by warranty and maintenance support. The company is a sister entity of Neal Communities, a Southwest Florida homebuilder, which provides a structural referral pipeline for new-construction pool installations.

Waterscapes self-describes as Southwest Florida's largest residential and commercial pool builder with 5,000+ pools built over four decades of operation. It has been consistently recognized in the Herald-Tribune's Readers' Choice awards since 2015 and holds a 2024 Community Choice award. The Tampa office opened in 2024, representing the most recent geographic expansion. No external funding, M&A, or financial disclosures are present in the data.
