We do the design. You choose a local builder.
Now you can enjoy the creativity of a Betz designed pool anywhere in Canada. Why not let our award-winning team of designers and landscape architects bring out the best in your property. We’ve been in business for over 80 years and are proud to be one of the first and only pool companies in Canada with a full in-house design department. When you entrust your design to Betz you can be assured of getting the very best, both in design and service.
Betz makes it easy for you.
Over the years we have fine tuned the backyard design process. All we need to get started is your wish list, a current lot survey showing elevations, plus some photos of the property, which could be taken on your phone. Our designers know all the right questions to ask and will not hesitate to contact you to make sure they have what they need. If we notice any aspects that might impact permit approvals, we will contact your municipality to ensure our design conforms with the local by-laws. Finally, we understand that sometimes your wish list will evolve as the process unfolds, so our costing includes provision for these realities.
We can give you as much detail as you want.
