Luxury custom pool built by Sonoran Waters in Scottsdale, Arizona

Scottsdale · Paradise Valley · Est. 2005

Still water in the moving desert.

A luxury pool should feel like it belongs to the property — not like it was dropped into it. We design and build custom pools, spas and outdoor living spaces that do exactly that.

Design philosophy

Water, greenery and gathering areas, balanced the way the desert does it.

Some of the best outdoor spaces in Scottsdale aren't private at all. Spend a morning in one of the area's parks and you notice what makes it inviting: open space, a natural flow between paths, and water that draws people in. We design backyards with those same principles.

That means thinking about sightlines from the house, how the pool connects to patios and shade structures, and how a negative edge or a raised spa spillway can mirror the calm of a resort setting.
