The Beauty and Benefits
of Our Swimmable Natural Ponds
We’ve installed these ponds for clients and in our signature developments in the United States and in Los Cabos, Mexico. Many of our redevelopment projects in Phoenix also enjoy the benefits of these unique water systems, bringing nature, design, and wellness together in an entirely new way.
Why Choose a Natural Pond Over a Chlorinated Pool?
No harsh chemicals: These ponds are naturally balanced—no chlorine, no salt systems.
Gentle on your body: Better for your skin, eyes, lungs, and overall well-being.
Feels like wild swimming: Soft, refreshing water that connects you to nature.
Wellness-enhancing: Promotes calm, connection, and serenity in your own backyard.
Visually stunning: A living water feature that’s as beautiful as it is functional.
How Our Natural Filtration System Works
Water flows through gravel and sand beds, where beneficial bacteria break down waste.
Aquatic plants absorb nutrients and oxygenate the system.
These processes mimic natural wetlands—keeping water clean, clear, and balanced without chemicals.
Minimal equipment required: usually just a small aerator and, optionally, a low-energy pump.
Environmental Benefits & Wildlife Appeal
Our ponds create an urban oasis that supports biodiversity.
You may spot:
Dragonflies and butterflies
Hummingbirds, finches, and songbirds
Even desert owls or bats at dusk.
These systems cool the microclimate, reduce noise, and reconnect city living with nature.
Swim Safety for Families and Guests
No fish: Means no parasites or cloudy water
No chemical exposure: Safe for kids, pets, and sensitive skin
Clear, natural water: Easy to see the bottom, natural edge entry
Mosquito-safe: Water is constantly moving, discouraging breeding
Simple, Low-Cost Maintenance
Maintenance is minimal and inexpensive:
Vacuuming the swim zone once a year
Trimming or thinning water plants
Any local pond service company can handle this easily.
Or The Coveted Group can be hired directly to service your pond—usually just a few hours annually.
Equipment is low-cost and easy to replace if needed: typically just an aerator and small pump.
