Check out these photos of a stunning new Natural Swimming Pool/Pond (NSP) in Texas! This NSP was built using our How-To eBook, Natural Swimming Pools/Ponds: The Total Guide, 2nd Edition, and a little hands-on help from us. Thanks to the homeowner for sending us these awesome pics: keep em' coming folks!

I live in houston I am wanting to do this, but everyone keeps saying what about snakes!? So what's you take on that? That's really the only thing holding me back. Thanks 7/26/2016 08:51:16 am
There is no poison in the water that would kill a snake that happened into a Natural Swimming Pool/Pond. However, because the water is crystal-clear (not murky and with no muddy bottom) you would be able to easily see a snake before getting in and could scoop it out with a pool net.

I have an inground concrete pool that I'd liked to convert to a natural pool. The deep end is really deep. Can I add gravel, rocks, or something to take the pool from 9 down to 5 feet? I love natural pools. 1/3/2019 08:07:50 pm
Bust out old pile old pool in deep end and rebuild. Super easy. 1/4/2019 10:28:44 am
Thanks for your comment Scott, though we definitely don't recommend demo-ing anything until you have a solid conversion plan! Though you are correct that sometimes it is best to demo the existing pool (especially when it is very old or damaged) then reshape the hole in order to create the ideal Natural Swimming Pool/Pond for the space, that is not always the right choice. If you start with a clear design plan, including an itemized materials list with local material sources (which a Total Habitat designer can help you with!) you will save money and heartache in the long run and end up with a beautiful Natural Swimming Pool/Pond you will enjoy for years to come! 1/4/2019 10:14:15 am
Hi Deb! We can help you develop a custom conversion plan that is right for your specific pool-- figuring out where to fit in the biological filtration system is the most important thing for ensuring the water is crystal clear and clean!
