Pools and Water Features

Botanical Decorators’ approach to pool building is from the ground up. Each project begins with a comprehensive landscape master plan that addresses every component of an outdoor space. From selecting plant material and hardscapes to the pool coping and interior finish, every nuance is carefully planned and constructed.

Botanical Decorators, a landscape design/build firm, has been building luxury pool environments for 18 years. These custom outdoor spaces typically feature some type of watershape such as spectacular pools, oasis-like spas and unique fountains. Using innovative designs, the company’s team of landscape architects and craftsman implement the multiple phases of a project to produce a dramatic result. This process transforms an idea into an extraordinary venue that will provide years of enjoyment.

“We keep an expert staff on hand to ensure that every project is handled with efficiency and the highest level of customer service,” says Christopher J. Cahill, president and owner. “Our team focuses on the details, making sure the job gets done right the first time.”

Cahill believes that there is more to a poolscape than the pool—his philosophy involves blending the watershape into the contours of the landscape to create a seamless transition where no single element stands out. Botanical Decorators is not limited to the pool and landscape. They also skillfully incorporate architectural structures such as pool houses, pergolas and fireplaces. “We artfully blend hardscape and softscape elements to create exceptional outdoor living spaces,” says Cahill.

Botanical Decorators’ philosophy is that outdoor spaces are not just built, they evolve, and the staff is committed to ensuring long-term success. This dedication has resulted in a number of regional and national awards, including Washington Spaces, multiple Grand Awards from the Landscape Contractors Association of Maryland, D.C., and Virginia, as well as the Aqua Choice Award selected by a national trade magazine from among the nation’s leading pool builders
