Natural Swimming Pools: An Investment That Pays Dividends
Creating a natural swimming pool is more than just adding a water feature to your garden—it’s an investment that can enhance your property’s value while providing years of sustainable enjoyment. With thoughtful planning and expert guidance, these living water features can become one of your property’s most distinctive and desirable assets.
The Financial Perspective
While natural swimming pools represent an initial investment, informed decisions during planning and construction can lead to significant savings. More importantly, these ecological water features increasingly add tangible value to properties, setting them apart in the real estate market with their unique character and sustainable credentials.
Knowledge That Saves
Guidance from experienced practitioners often translates directly into cost savings. A client in the Haute-Savoie after consulting with Gary shared:
“Your tips were most helpful including the extra filtration, the deep end pump, removing the perimeter drain, less wall construction and confirmation that EDPM will work with the shape and rounded corners as suggested.”
These specific recommendations eliminated unnecessary elements while enhancing functionality—a perfect example of how expert advice can streamline a project and reduce costs without compromising quality.

Design Considerations That Matter
Several aspects of natural pool design have long-term financial implications:
Efficient Filtration Systems
The right biological filtration approach for your specific situation ensures clearer water with less intervention and lower running costs. Different systems suit different settings, and choosing wisely from the start prevents costly adjustments later.
Appropriate Construction Methods
From liner selection to edge treatments, construction choices affect both immediate expenses and long-term durability. Understanding the implications of different materials and techniques helps create a pool that remains beautiful and functional for decades with minimal maintenance costs.
Integrated Landscape Design
When properly integrated into your overall landscape, a natural pool becomes a focal point that enhances the entire property. This holistic approach not only creates a more beautiful result but often increases property value beyond the cost of installation.
A Distinctive Property Asset
Natural swimming pools increasingly feature in luxury property listings as distinctive assets that set properties apart. Real estate professionals report that these sustainable water features can significantly enhance marketability and appeal to discerning buyers.
As one delighted client at La Belle Eco expressed after Gary converted their traditional pool:
“We absolutely love our swimming pond that Gary converted for us at La Belle Eco – was the best part of the renovation that we did… it’s the most beautiful thing now seeing the birds and just life generally coming to drink from our beautiful pool.”
