Azuro designs and builds custom water features, including ponds, waterfalls, fountains, and more.
Unique Water Features
No matter what concrete water feature your heart desires, from custom-designed ponds to waterfalls to fountains, Azuro can build it for you. We are adept at using natural rock and terrain features to build beautiful water features, or we can build water features using artificial rock work (we use concrete to build custom artificial rock work that looks natural and will last a lifetime).
State-of-the-art Efficient Water Pumps
We have built many waterfalls, ranging from 6’ high to 100’ high, and fountains that include single fountains to multiple fountains. No matter what the water feature, we are concerned with efficiency and use state-of-the-art powerful water pumps that offer:
- Variable pump speeds
- Use of recycled water
- Keeping water levels at a standard
height to allow for evaporation - Natural biological filters
- Low maintenance
- Built-in safety features
- Water volume reduction features
Low Maintenance and Environmentally Friendly
Our goal is to minimize the impact on the environment. And Azuro custom-designed water features are designed for safety and easy low maintenance, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show with friends and family members.
Compare Inground Custom Concrete and Prebuilt Fiberglass Swimming Pools
| Inground Concrete | Prebuilt Fiberglass | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation/ Build | After excavation, a metal/rebar frame is constructed, concrete (gunite or shotcrete) is applied to form the pool shell, and the interior surface is applied. | Fiberglass pools are pre-moulded, which allows for a faster installation after excavation than concrete pools. |
| Customization | Fully customizable to any shape or size. | Limited to prebuilt formats and sizes are based on transportation limitations (max ~15 wide). |
| Durability | When maintained, a well-built concrete pool structure will last ~50 years. | Fiberglass is a strong and resilient material that can withstand harsh weather conditions and resist cracking, making it long-lasting (~25 years). |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance. Depending on weather conditions, it may require resurfacing every ~25 years. | Low maintenance. |
| Interior Surface and Texture | Plaster, exposed aggregate, tile, or polished aggregate, which can be smooth or textured. | Gel-coat finish provides a smooth, non-slip surface that is gentle on swimmers. |
| Cleaning | Requires regular brushing and vacuuming. | Fiberglass surface discourages algae growth and minimizes the need for scrubbing, making cleaning easy and requiring fewer chemicals |
| Build Estimate* | 16 to 20+ weeks | 10 to 12 weeks |
*From permitting approval to finish. Note, a building permit is required to construct or install swimming pools in BC. Permits are issued by municipalities, and processing time varies depending on project type and your location.
