Complete Pool Installation in Des Moines and Surrounding Areas

Your pool works best as part of a full outdoor living plan, where structures, surfaces, plantings, and utilities are drawn together before the first shovel breaks ground.

Spas & Hot Tubs

Add a heated spa beside your pool or tucked into a quiet corner of the yard. Plumbing, electrical, and surrounding stonework are coordinated during the build so the finished area looks intentional rather than added on later.

Pool Houses

Keep towels, filtration equipment, and pool toys out of the house with a structure that matches your home’s architecture. Interior finishes, storage, and utility connections are planned around your space.

Pergolas, Cabanas & Change Rooms

A pergola frames shaded seating beside the water, while a custom cabana or change room gives guests a place to change and store towels, both designed to match your outdoor space.

Poolscaping

Travertine, natural stone, and stamped concrete decks are graded to move water away from your home and pool shell. Slip resistance, edge detailing, and surrounding garden beds finish the space completely.

Plumbing

Circulation lines, returns, skimmers, and drainage are laid out and pressure tested before backfill. Correct pipe sizing and slope keep your water clear, your equipment efficient, and your utility costs predictable.

Professional, Careful, and Excellent Work

Professional, Flexible, and Reliable Team

I contracted with Brilliant Borders for a new backyard patio. It wasn’t a huge project, but the whole team, Christian, Armando, Alex, and Alvaro, were great to work with. They were very responsive to questions and check-ins, and were easy to work with on adjusting the design and the scope and worked quickly, even with unexpected rain delays. I was very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend them.
