Your Marion County pool builder

Marion County is horse country: rolling pastures, oak hammocks, clear springs and the edge of a national forest, with established neighborhoods, golf communities and newer subdivisions in between. Many homes here sit on larger lots or acreage, which opens up design choices you rarely get closer to Orlando.

Blue Dream Pools has designed and built custom in-ground pools for Central Florida families since 2004. We are locally owned, a Florida certified pool and spa contractor (CPC1460083), with our showroom at 260 E Plant St in downtown Winter Garden. Marion County is part of our service area, along with Orange, Lake, Seminole, Osceola and Sumter counties. Call (407) 905-2704 or request your Free Design Consultation below.

Designing for larger lots and acreage

With more room to work, the pool can be placed for the view, the breeze and the afternoon shade instead of squeezed into the only open corner. On acreage we look at the walk from the house, where the equipment pad will sit, and how trucks will reach the backyard during construction. Many rural homes here use a private well and a septic system, so we locate the tank and drainfield early: the pool has to keep its required distance from them, and that often decides where it can go.

Built for Marion County ground

Much of Marion County sits on sandy soil over limestone, and conditions can change from one property to the next. Every pool shell is engineered gunite, formed on site and designed for your yard. Where a site shows signs of limestone near the surface or past settling, we can recommend a soil test before final engineering, so the design is based on what is actually under your yard.

Permits in Marion County

For most addresses in unincorporated Marion County, the pool permit is issued by the county’s building department. A few incorporated cities issue their own permits. We confirm the jurisdiction from your parcel record, then prepare the engineered plans and permit package, pull the pool permit as a Florida certified pool and spa contractor, and schedule the inspections.

Pool ideas for Marion County backyards

Families often want a generous sun shelf, a shallow play area and a deeper swimming zone. On open lots, a raised spa with a spillover, a fire feature and an outdoor kitchen can turn the pool into the center of the yard. A warm spa paired with a cold plunge is a popular addition. For homeowners who want to stay active, Aguagevity® by Hayward adds built-in anchor points for resistance bands or a swim-in-place belt and low-impact workouts at home.
