Gedney Pools LLC

We don't build swimming pools.
We create living landscapes.

Every project begins with the land, the light, and the architecture of your home. We design pools that don't just complement your property - they transform it into something extraordinary. From vanishing-edge infinity pools overlooking Long Island Sound to classically proportioned lap pools framed by centuries-old stone walls, our work is defined by restraint, precision, and an obsessive attention to craft.
