About Fountain Pools & Water Features

Fountain pools is a second-generation pool builder that gets more than three-fourths of its business from referrals. Owner Bill “Gator” Green started working for his father, Bill Sr., in 1980, when he was only 10 years old. Over the next 28 years, Gator learned the in's and out's of every aspect of swimming pool design, construction and management. He's also learned what it takes to make his customers happy, as evidenced by his extremely high referral rate. Gator is happy to point out that you won’t see a great big yellow page ad for Fountain Pools. “Those big ads are for pool builders who don’t get enough referrals.”

Fountain Pools is a solid company, with strong reserves. They’re one of only a handful of Florida pool builders with a $5 million bond rating. That’s important, because a “lifetime structural warrantee” doesn’t mean much if your pool builder goes out of business. Sadly, that’s increasingly common here in Florida. But while other builders are going out of business, Fountain Pools is actually expanding. They’ve just moved into a brand new state-of-the-art facility on Tamiami Road (Highway 41 near Punta Gorda). With a full size swimming pool, waterfalls, water features, and over a thousand tiles, pavers and interior finishes on display, the Fountain Pools facility is like no other.

10 Reasons You’re Better Of With Fountain Pools

1. Lifetime Guarantee – Every pool comes with a Lifetime Structural Warranty on the shell and the in-ground plumbing. Guaranteed not to leak for as long as you own the pool.
2. Extensive Experience – We’ve built well over 2000 commercial and residential swimming pools, spas, fountains, and water features. Our owner, Gator Green, is a second-generation pool builder with 28 years’ experience, right here in South Florida.
3. Extensive Referral Record – More than three-fourths of our business is repeat business and/or from referrals. Sure-fire proof that our customers are delighted with our work.
4. Extensive Showroom – We’re not working out of a small office or the back of a pick-up truck. We have a brand-new state-of-the-art facility with a full-size display pool and more than 500 tiles, pavers, water features, and other options on display. You can see, touch, and feel the materials before you make any decisions.
5. Highly Recommended by Florida Home Builders – Home builders have very strict needs in terms of quality, craftsmanship, timeliness, and speed of delivery. We’re proud to be a preferred pool builder for many of the best-known home builders in Southwest FL.
6. Low-Maintenance, Energy-Efficient Construction - From oversized plumbing and filters to energy-efficient pumps, lights and heaters, a Fountain pool costs less to own and takes less time to maintain.
7. Member of FSPA and APSP – The Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA) and the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) provide ongoing training and education for pool builders. They also insist on ethical business practices from their members. As pool professionals, we believe all pool builders should be active in these organizations.
8. $5,000,000 Bond Rating – Fountain Pools is a solid company with strong reserves. We’re one of only a handful of Florida pool builders with a $5 million bond rating.
9. No-pressure Sales Philosophy – We know that buying a swimming pool is a big decision for any family, and you probably don’t want to be rushed. We’re okay with that. We’ll help you whenever we can, but we’ll never try to pressure you into a sale.
10. Upgrade to Pavers at No Extra Cost – Thanks to our high volume of paver installations, we’ve negotiated special discounts from most of the major paver manufacturers. In many cases, we can upgrade your pool deck to pavers at no extra cost.
