Elevate Your Outdoor Living
At Heritage Pools, we believe that a backyard can be so much more than a place to cool off; it should be a sophisticated escape where artistry meets engineering. Our custom pool designs draw on years of experience and quality materials to create breathtaking outdoor living spaces that elevate the standard of pool design. An elevated pool is a special type of swimming pool built above ground level, often on a platform or deck.
In the Lowcountry, where soil, water tables and tides can make in‑ground pools challenging, an elevated pool provides a higher‑quality, longer‑lasting structure and adds an extra sense of privacy. Choosing Heritage Pools means working with the only Certified Master Pool Builder & Design Professional in South Carolina and a team that has been crafting luxury pools since 2004.
Our Proven Process
The Foundation
Every elevated pool begins with the ground beneath it. Before we design your dream pool, we inspect your yard and perform a soil engineering test to understand what the ground can support. We consult structural engineers and pool specialists, ensuring that every aspect of the foundation is tailored to your property and built to last.
Waterproofing
Once the foundation is planned, we determine the best waterproofing methods. Our team has developed a proprietary waterproofing process that ensures proper water crystallisation and prevents water from penetrating the shell. We set our own standards for rebar placement and shell thickness so you can relax knowing your elevated pool is sound and secure.
The Fun Part
With the technical considerations handled, it’s time to customise. Do you imagine warming up in a jetted spa on chilly nights, lounging on sun‑shelves in summer, or listening to the gentle sound of a water feature? From coping and deck materials to lighting and integrated spas, every detail is yours to choose. Our expertise allows you to dream big while we make your vision a reality.
Lowcountry Luxury, Tailored to You
Elevated pools aren’t one‑size‑fits‑all. Our designs come in various sizes and shapes to fit any space. We use only the highest‑quality materials and construction techniques to ensure your pool is built to last.

We specialise in elevated pools with features such as acrylic walls, Lautner and champagne edges, and we’re proud to navigate the unique challenges of constrained lot lines and coastal waterways.
