Custom Gunite Pools for Winter Park Homes
Winter Park has a character few Florida cities can match: brick streets, a canopy of old oaks, Park Avenue, Rollins College and the Chain of Lakes connected by narrow canals. Homes range from 1920s cottages and mid-century ranches to new custom builds on lots where an older house once stood. A pool here has to respect that setting, fitting under the trees, beside a historic facade or along a lakeshore, without looking like an afterthought.
Blue Dream Pools has designed and built custom gunite pools since 2004 from our showroom on Plant Street in downtown Winter Garden. We are a Florida certified pool and spa contractor, license CPC1460083. Call (407) 905-2704 to schedule a design consultation.
What We Build in Winter Park
Custom gunite pools and spas, lap pools, plunge pools, sun shelves, water and fire features, lighting and decks in natural stone, pavers, concrete or turf. Because so many Winter Park homes already have a pool from an earlier era, renovation is a big part of what we do here: new finishes, tile and coping, modern equipment and lighting, or a complete redesign of the shell and deck. See why homeowners choose Blue Dream Pools.
Designing for Winter Park's Lots, Trees and Lakes
Winter Park lots are often deep and narrow, with mature oaks, older utilities and neighbors close on either side. We plan the pool's position to protect major tree roots where possible, place skimmers for heavy leaf drop and keep equipment where it will not be heard from the bedroom next door. The city reviews setbacks and lot coverage for every pool, so we design the pool and deck around those limits from the first sketch.
Lakefront and canal-front homes bring their own rules. The city requires a Planning and Zoning lakefront review before it will permit a pool on a lake, canal or stream, so we start with a current survey showing the water line and design within the allowed area. Lower lots near the lakes also need attention to the water table and drainage during summer storms.
Permits for Winter Park Pools
Homes inside city limits are permitted by the City of Winter Park Building & Permitting Services through its online self-service portal. A pool application includes a setback and coverage worksheet, a recent survey showing impervious surfaces, signed and sealed engineered pool drawings, the residential pool safety form and proof of barrier compliance, plus Planning and Zoning lakefront approval for waterfront lots. Blue Dream Pools prepares the package, pulls the permit and schedules the inspections.
Pool Ideas That Suit Winter Park
A classic rectangular pool with a narrow coping detail and a raised spa suits Winter Park's traditional and Mediterranean homes, while a long, clean lap pool fits a modern rebuild on a narrow lot. Natural stone decking in warm tones looks at home under the oaks, and low step and landscape lighting keeps the yard feeling like part of the neighborhood at night. On the lakes, a pool that opens toward the water with a fire feature at the edge makes the most of the view. We refine every option in detailed design before construction.
