The Details That
BUILD IT YOUR WAY
Signature spas, tanning ledges, and Integra pool covers are available with every installation, and everything is sold and installed directly by Relax Pools. That matters because it means you have one builder, one conversation, and one team accountable for how the finished space comes together.
A pool on its own is a great investment. But the additions around it are what make a backyard feel truly finished. A spa extends the season well into fall and gives you a place to unwind that is separate from the pool itself. A tanning ledge creates a shallow entry point that works for young kids, lounge chairs, or simply easing into the water on a hot afternoon. A pool cover keeps debris out, holds heat in, reduces chemical use, and gives families with children and pets genuine peace of mind.
These are not afterthoughts. They are decisions worth making early in the process, before design is finalized, so everything integrates cleanly rather than being added on after the fact. When we sit down to talk through your project, enhancements are part of that first conversation. We will walk you through what makes sense for your yard, your family, and the way you plan to use the space, and we will give you a clear picture of what each option adds to the overall build.
Make It Yours
Signature Spas
Year-Round use
A fiberglass spa is one of the most practical additions you can make to a pool build, and one of the most used. It pairs naturally with your pool, matches your chosen gel coat color, and gives you a place to relax that holds heat and stays ready year-round. Aviva offers three spa styles, available in both square and spillover configurations, so the right fit depends on your space and how you want it to connect to the pool.
Tanning Ledges
most requested feature
A tanning ledge is the most requested addition we see, and it is easy to understand why. It is a shallow, built-in lounge area at the pool entry, just deep enough for water to cover your feet while you sit in a chair or let young kids splash around safely. It also serves as a natural gathering point for the whole backyard. Aviva offers three tanning ledge styles, rectangular, curved, and extended, each available in any gel coat color from the collection.
Automatic Pool Covers
integra cover line
We sell and install the Integra pool cover line directly. A quality automatic cover does more than protect the water. It keeps debris out, holds heat in, reduces the chemical load needed to keep the pool balanced, and creates a certified safety barrier for families with children and pets. Integra covers are custom made to fit your pool, built with acrylic-coated fabric for long-term durability, and available in nine color options to blend with your surrounding landscape.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, and it is one of the most popular additions we see on fiberglass builds. Aviva offers three spa styles, each available in both square and spillover configurations. A spillover spa connects directly to the pool and allows water to flow between the two, which creates a clean, integrated look. A square spa sits independently and can be positioned wherever it makes the most sense for your yard. Every spa is available in any gel coat color from the Aviva collection so it matches your pool finish exactly.
A square spa is a standalone unit that operates independently from the pool. It has its own water, its own heating, and its own controls. A spillover spa is connected to the pool and shares the water system, with a ledge that allows water to flow from the spa into the pool. Both have their advantages depending on how you plan to use the space and how you want the two to look together. We will walk you through the options during your consultation so you can make the right call for your yard.
Yes. Aviva spas are available in every gel coat color offered in the pool collection. Whether you want the spa to match the pool exactly or complement it with a different finish, the options are there. We will go through the color selection together as part of the design process.
A tanning ledge is a shallow, built-in platform at the entry point of the pool. The water depth sits at roughly twelve inches, which is deep enough to keep you cool while sitting in a lounge chair but shallow enough for young children to play safely. It is the most requested addition we see on fiberglass builds, and it is easy to understand why. It becomes one of the most used parts of the whole backyard.
Aviva offers three tanning ledge options. The TL-R is a rectangular style that pairs well with straight-wall pool designs. The TL-C has one curved side that works naturally with freeform pool shapes. The TL-XL is the largest of the three, with an extended length that creates more room for lounging and play. All three are available in every gel coat color from the Aviva collection and sit at a consistent twelve-inch depth.
A pool cover is not required, but most homeowners who add one are glad they did. An Integra automatic cover keeps debris out of the water, which means less cleaning and less time spent balancing chemicals. It also holds heat in, which extends the usable season and reduces heating costs. For families with children or pets, the safety piece is significant. Integra covers are ASTM certified as a safety barrier, and they extend and retract with the flip of a switch. It is a practical addition that pays for itself over time.
Integra pool covers are available in nine color options, designed to blend naturally with your pool and the surrounding landscape. The goal is for the cover to look intentional when it is closed, not like an afterthought. We will help you find the right color during the design process based on your decking, your home exterior, and the overall feel of the space.
Before, without question. Enhancements like spas and tanning ledges need to be accounted for during the design and excavation phase so everything integrates cleanly from the start. Adding them after the fact is possible in some cases, but it is more complicated and more expensive than planning for them upfront. Pool covers also benefit from early planning since the housing mechanism needs to be factored into the pool surround design. When we sit down for your initial consultation, enhancements are part of that first conversation for exactly this reason.
