Infinity edge pool overlooking a Bay Area hillside

Infinity Edge Pools for the Tri-Valley Area

An infinity-edge pool blends seamlessly with the horizon. Advantage Pools Bay Area designs and builds these pools for sloped and scenic properties throughout the Tri-Valley area.

Why Choose Us for Infinity Edge Pools

What Our Infinity Edge Pool Services Include

An infinity-edge pool blends seamlessly with the horizon when the engineering, structure, and water flow are designed together.

Edge Wall Engineering & Structural Design

We calculate wall height, water flow rate, and structural support so the vanishing edge reads perfectly from your viewing area and holds up structurally on sloped ground.

Catch Basin & Water Feature Integration

The catch basin below the edge is what makes the illusion work. We size and build it to recirculate efficiently while staying discreetly out of sight.

Site & Slope Grading Solutions

Hillside and view lots often need retaining walls, drainage planning, and soil engineering before the pool shell ever goes in. We manage that groundwork as part of the build.

Finish & Lighting Enhancements

Dark or reflective interior finishes, edge lighting, and surrounding hardscape all affect how dramatic the infinity effect looks day and night. We help you choose finishes that maximize it.

When to Consider Infinity Edge Pools

You have a hillside, canyon, or valley view lot and want the backyard to take full advantage of it
Outdated design or materials
Poor energy efficiency
Desire to add new features or modern finishes

We had such a great experience with Brian Cardiff and Advantage Pool Company! They built us a beautiful pool, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Brian was super patient, attentive, and easy to work with. What really impressed me was his willingness to help preserve our existing wall when other companies said it couldnโ€™t be done. The quality of the work is top-notch, and the end result looks amazing. Highly recommend Brian and his team if youโ€™re thinking about putting in a poolโ€”you wonโ€™t regret it!

The best! If youโ€™re looking for someone who is precise and has attention to detail, then look no further. Brian Cardiff and his team have gone beyond building our pool to extending service. Heโ€™s always been there years later for any questions or repairs or issues that may come with the longevity of the pool . We went with plaster versus pebble tech, because it just stays so nice, bright and white, and had some ceramic designs inlaid, and added solar for the pool. and if he can build pools and is interested by pool inspectors, I felt that was a really good rรฉsumรฉ.Well done.

My family and I have had the opportunity to work with Brian and his family. They are great people and are men of their word. Always honest and transparent. They build high quality pool and I couldn't recommend them enough. Really, really, really great people to work with.

I couldnโ€™t be happier with my experience working with Advantage Pool Bay Area Inc. From start to finish, Brian and his team were professional, attentive, and truly committed to making my dream pool a reality. Brian guided me through every stepโ€”from design ideas and material choices to construction and final touches. He was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and make sure everything was running smoothly. The crew showed up on time, worked hard every day, and kept the area clean and organized. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and commitment to quality. Now, 5 years later, my pool still looks amazingโ€”and Brian is still just a phone call away if I ever need anything. He doesnโ€™t just build pools; he stands behind his work and honors his warranty without hesitation. Thanks to Brian and the entire Advantage Pool Bay Area team for your hard work, professionalism, and dedication.

I had the great fortune to pick Brianโ€™s company, Advantage Pools Bay Area. I had unusual (some could say impractical) ideas about how to fit a pool into my โ€œfrontโ€ yard. It was a unique and problematic project. Instead of trying to talk me out of my ideas, Brian collaborated with me to make sure the pool was a success and that I was happy with the outcome. Due to the nature of the positioning of the pool there were several hurdles with the Permit Office. Brianโ€™s personal reputation and positive relationships with those in the office as well as his creative problem solving kept the project moving forward. This asset is invaluable and I could not have foreseen its need at the start of the project. We began early 2020 just ahead of the pandemic. Brian worked through all hurdles and kept up with timely communications with me and the subcontractors during this difficult time. His professionalism and calm demeanor was greatly appreciated. It also has to be noted that Advantage Pools Bay Area goes above and beyond using upgraded materials like thicker rebar than other contractors and for that I am grateful! Advantage Pools Bay Area stands by its work. When something comes up (often user error!) Brian and his people are there to lend a hand either providing information or coming to the site to see the issue themselves. A couple years after project completion rats ate through some wires creating a critical problem. Advantage Pools Bay Area and their subcontractors came out and solved the problem no charge even though this definitely was not covered under the warranty. They answer the phone and my questions consistently to this day and I am confident they will be there tomorrow. There are many pool companies out there that could have built my pool. I doubt thereโ€™s another out there that would have done it with the professionalism and pride that Advantage Pools Bay Area did. I truly doubt another would still stand by me and their work today - five years later.

FAQs

What exactly is an infinity edge pool?

Also called a vanishing edge or negative edge pool, itโ€™s designed so water flows over one or more edges into a lower catch basin, creating the illusion that the pool blends into the view beyond it.

It helps, but itโ€™s not strictly required; some infinity edges are built purely for the visual and acoustic effect of moving water, even on flatter lots. That said, view and hillside lots are where the effect is most dramatic.

Water spilling over the edge collects in a catch basin below, where itโ€™s filtered and pumped back into the main pool the system runs continuously while the effect is active.

It varies by site conditions (especially slope and grading needs) and pool size, but expect a premium over a standard rectangular pool due to the additional engineering, catch basin construction, and structural work. Weโ€™ll walk you through exact numbers during your quote.

Timelines depend on site complexity; hillside grading and retaining work add time upfront but most projects move through design, permitting, and construction in a similar window to a standard custom pool build, just with more engineering in the early phases. Can you convert my existing pool into an infinity edge? In some cases, yes, depending on your yardโ€™s grade and the poolโ€™s current structure. This is usually evaluated as part of a larger remodel. Reach out and weโ€™ll assess your site.
