WHAT MAKES Natural swimming pools eco-friendly?
We understand the desire to create a sustainable pool system in your yard that doesn’t hurt the ecosystem. These eco-friendly pools offer a sustainable way to enjoy crystal-clear, cool waters while harmonizing with the environment:
- Chemical-Free Filtration: Natural pools use biological filters like plants and beneficial bacteria to keep water clean, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals.
- Energy Efficiency: With no reliance on energy-intensive chlorination systems, these pools reduce electricity use, lowering your environmental footprint.
- Wildlife-Friendly Design: By mimicking natural ecosystems, these pools support local biodiversity, attracting birds and beneficial insects to your backyard.


Maintenance of Natural Swimming Pools
Homeowners can expect a unique and rewarding experience when maintaining a natural swimming pool. These pools require a different approach than traditional pools, focusing on natural balance and sustainability. Here’s what you can expect:
- Regular Plant Care: Aquatic plants help filter the water, so you’ll need to trim or replace them periodically to ensure they thrive and maintain water clarity.
- Debris Management: Skimming leaves, twigs, or other organic matter from the surface keeps the pool clean and supports the biological filtration system.
- Water Quality Monitoring: Occasional checks of water balance (pH and nutrient levels) ensure the ecosystem stays healthy, though this is less intensive than chemical pool testing.
- Seasonal Adjustments: In colder months, you may need to winterize plants or adjust water flow to protect the pool’s natural balance, with guidance from our team.
- Minimal Chemical Use: Unlike traditional pools, maintenance avoids harsh chemicals, relying instead on the pool’s natural filtration, making upkeep safer and eco-friendly.

Marci harveu2024-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very large bamboo problem I needed help with but the job was so big no one was willing to help other than Shawn.. we did not plant the bamboo a neighbor did and it had spread to 3 other neighbors yards. It was pretty and had a lot of great privacy so we kept it and we would cut it back every year not realizing at the time how invasive the bamboo was. It had got to the point where it was coming to the back of our house and on its way to the front side yard.. bamboo has a rhizome root system that spreads everywhere even through our intex pool and a neighbors shed. It was out of control I asked several times on a home town page for help and Shawn responded and came out and look at the problem he came up with a plan.. bamboo runs 2 to 3’ deep.. Shawn had to remove majority of our back yard 2 feet deep in the hottest part of summer then had to make sure no rhizomes still existed and he sprayed a chemical to try to kill what may have been left just a little shoot would re grow it then he had to fill the yard back in with dirt and seed he offered to sod but that was more than we could do at the time .. It took a little longer than estimated but the weather wasn’t cooperating and it was a larger job than he thought but he stayed patient and worked to solve our problem I waited 2 years to write a review because I wanted to make sure it was gone and as to date we still have no signs of bamboo on our yard …. I definitely would recommend shawn and his crew with and of your landscaping needs Shawn Wuertz2024-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

HaecEsneLegas2024-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EDIT: As Google will not allow a 2nd review I just wanted to update my prior review(still visible below). This is now going into my 3rd year using Dreamscapes Ohio for a pre-paid yearly contract. I've had no issues with Shaun and his team and my grass is always cut and well maintained. Shaun even reaches out personally whenever he notices anything outside that could use a little extra care. Would recommend to anyone looking for a lawn care company. Prior review: ‐--------------------------- The owner Shaun, has always been responsive and quick to resolve any issues. Been using his lawn services all through the last year and just renewed for a 2nd. Paula Catherina2024-03-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
