No chemicals.
Just pure water.
Natural swimming pools use living biology — not chlorine — to keep water crystal clear. The result is something you have to experience to believe: soft, clean water that doesn't burn your eyes, smell like a pool, or cost you $100 a month to maintain.
Built by American Landscape Construction
Your backyard ecosystem.
Designed to swim in.
A natural swimming pool is divided into two zones: a swimming area and a regeneration zone filled with aquatic plants. The plants do the filtration work — no chemicals, no chlorine, no salt system. The water stays clear through biology, not chemistry.
The result looks like a stunning natural pond but swims like a pool. Crystal clear water, no odor, no skin or eye irritation. Kids can splash in it. Adults can float in it. Your property becomes something completely unique.
We build natural pools and swim ponds through American Landscape Construction — our sister company under the same ownership — and design each one specifically for your NH or MA property and landscape.
How natural pools stay clean
No mystery, no magic. Just biology working the way it has for thousands of years.
The Swimming Zone
A dedicated swimming area — typically 4–6 feet deep — with a clean bottom and clear water. This is where you swim. It's separated from the plant zone but shares the same water system.
The Regeneration Zone
Aquatic plants — rushes, reeds, water lilies, and native species — fill the regeneration zone. Their root systems filter out nutrients that would otherwise feed algae. No plants, no algae. Simple.
Circulation & Skimming
A gentle pump circulates water through the plant zone continuously. A skimmer handles surface debris the same way a conventional pool would. No chemicals needed at any stage.
The Result
Soft, clear, chemical-free water that's safe for everyone — including people with sensitive skin, allergies, or chemical sensitivities. Your kids can drink it accidentally and be fine.
New England Season Management
Natural pools are designed for four-season climates. We engineer the plant selection and system specifically for NH and MA winters so your pool comes back strong every spring.
Everything you gain.
Nothing you lose.
Zero Chemicals, Forever
No chlorine. No salt. No algaecides. No pH adjusters. The plants do all of it. This is the only pool type where your maintenance cost for water treatment is truly $0.
No Burning Eyes or Skin
Chlorine irritates eyes, bleaches hair, and dries out skin. Natural pool water does none of that. It feels like swimming in a pristine mountain lake — because biologically, it is.
Living Ecosystem
Your natural pool becomes a habitat. Dragonflies, frogs, birds, beneficial insects. It's not just a pool — it's a living feature of your property that gets better every year.
Stunning Curb Appeal
There is no more striking backyard feature than a well-designed natural swim pond. It looks like something from a European countryside estate — because that's exactly where this concept originated.
Lower Lifetime Operating Cost
Higher upfront investment than a conventional pool, but the operating savings are real. No chemicals, less electricity than a conventional system, minimal consumables. The math works over time.
Built for New England
We design every natural pool for the NH and MA climate — native plants, freeze-resistant construction, and seasonal startup/shutdown procedures that are simple and reliable.
These are swimming pools.
Every one of these is a fully swimmable pool. No chemicals. No chlorine. Just clean, clear, living water.
What does a natural pool cost in NH?
Natural swimming pools are a premium investment — typically starting around $70,000–$120,000 depending on size, features, and site complexity. But compare that to a conventional pool with $1,200–$2,400/year in chemicals and supplies, and the lifetime math shifts considerably. We'll give you a real, detailed quote after a site visit. No guessing.
People who made the switch
"I was skeptical about the 'no chemicals' claim. Two summers later I'm a believer. The water is unbelievably soft, our kids swim in it every day, and I haven't spent a dollar on chemicals. Our backyard is literally the talk of the neighborhood."
"My daughter has eczema that always flared up in chlorinated pools. We had a natural pond built and she can swim as long as she wants with zero issues. That alone made it worth every penny. American Landscape did beautiful work from start to finish."
