Pools & Spas Peachland | View-Preservation & Hillside Experts

Q: Do I need a permit for a pool or hot tub in Peachland?

Yes. The District of Peachland requires a building permit for any pool, hot tub, or spa deeper than 60cm (24 inches). This ensures your project meets safety codes, drainage requirements, and zoning setbacks.

Q: Can you build a pool on a steep slope without blocking the lake view?

Absolutely. By utilizing a semi-inground design, we can nestle the pool into the hillside. This keeps the profile low and allows for glass fencing that preserves your panoramic Okanagan Lake vista.

Q: What is a Geotechnical Assessment, and do I need one in Peachland?

If your property slope exceeds 20%, the District of Peachland requires a Geotechnical Report. This ensures the hillside can safely support the pool's weight. We work with engineers to manage this 'Schedule B' requirement for you.

Q: What are the fencing rules for Peachland pool owners?

Peachland bylaws require a non-climbable fence at least 1.5m (5 feet) high with self-closing and self-latching gates. We specialize in glass and low-profile systems that meet these codes while maintaining your lake views.

Q: How do you handle drainage on Peachland’s hillside properties?

We design custom drainage solutions that direct water runoff away from your foundation and the slope crest, ensuring the structural stability of your lot during heavy rain and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.

Built for the Benches: Stunning Lakeview Pools & Spas

Specializing in hillside-engineered pools that protect your home’s stability and maximize your panoramic Okanagan Lake vista.

The Peachland Factor: Views without Compromise

Peachland is home to some of the most dramatic “benches” in the Okanagan. Whether you are building on the steep grades above Trepanier or near the Ponderosa bluffs, your backyard is all about the lake.

Led by Paul Tallon, our team excels at:

“View-First” Engineering: We specialize in semi-inground hybrid pools that sit into the natural slope. This keeps the pool profile low, allowing for glass railing systems that give you an unobstructed, “infinity-style” view of the water from your deck.
Extreme Slope Stability: Peachland requires a professional touch. We manage the Geotechnical Schedule B process for slopes exceeding 20% grade, ensuring your pool is safely anchored into the hillside without risking erosion or shifting.
Hard-Rock Excavation: We have the specialized equipment to handle Peachland’s granite and shale layers, turning a “difficult” rocky lot into a luxury outdoor living space.

How we prepare your backyard for the Peachland climate

Semi-Inground Pools: The Peachland Standard

Traditional excavation on a 45-degree Peachland lot can be astronomical in cost. Our semi-inground models act as their own structural support, requiring significantly less digging while providing the high-end look of a custom in-ground pool.
Eco-Conscious Spas & Swim Spas
Peachland is a community that values the environment. Our Trevi spas are designed with high-density insulation that meets BC Energy Step Code standards, keeping your energy footprint small while providing the perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the lake.

Professional Liner Replacements & Care

Older pools in established Peachland neighborhoods often need a refresh.

We provide precision liner replacements and energy-efficient equipment upgrades that modernize your pool while protecting it from the Okanagan’s freeze-thaw cycles.
