Transform your Lake Chelan property into a true resort with custom-designed pools, spas, and outdoor living spaces engineered for hillside views, waterfront lots, and year-round Northwest enjoyment.
If you’re comparing Lake Chelan pool builders, make sure you choose a contractor familiar with steep terrain

At Backyard Escapes NW, we design and build fully custom shotcrete pools, spas, and outdoor living spaces for Lake Chelan homeowners who want more than a basic rectangle in the ground. From hillside infinity pools that blend into the lake to family-friendly backyard resorts, every project is engineered for this region’s slopes, soil, and weather.

We handle the entire process—from concept and 3D design to engineering, permits, excavation, shotcrete, and final finishes—so you have one dedicated pool contractor guiding your project from the first sketch to your first swim. No headaches from dealing with multiple Lake Chelan Pool Builders. You get one contractor from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions about building a pool in Lake Chelan.
Do I need to live on the lake to build an infinity or negative edge pool?
No. While infinity pools are common on waterfront lots, they can also be designed for hillside or elevated properties that look out toward Lake Chelan or the surrounding mountains. As long as we have a good sightline and the right elevation change, we can usually create a dramatic negative edge effect.
How long does pool construction typically take in Lake Chelan?
Timelines vary based on design complexity, access, and permitting, but most custom shotcrete pool and spa projects run between 12–20 weeks from excavation to startup. We’ll give you a realistic schedule based on your specific design and the time of year we begin.
Can you build on steep or challenging properties?
Yes. Many Lake Chelan lots have slopes, retaining walls, or limited access. We routinely work with hillside and waterfront sites, and when needed we bring in engineering to ensure your pool structure and surrounding hardscapes are properly supported for the long term.
What does a custom shotcrete pool cost?
Because every project is different, we provide pricing after a site visit and concept design. Factors include size and shape, edge type (standard vs. infinity), decking and hardscapes, spa integration, features, and access. During your consultation we’ll discuss budget ranges and design options that make the most sense for your property.
Do you also design outdoor living spaces around the pool?
Absolutely. Many of our Lake Chelan projects include complete outdoor environments with patios, seating areas, fire features, outdoor kitchens, and landscape accents, so your pool feels like a natural extension of your home—not an isolated feature.
