Mediterranean villa

Historic Hillsborough and Atherton estate properties favor classical Mediterranean styling with stone coping and detailed fountain work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a luxury custom pool cost in Atherton and Hillsborough?
Luxury custom pool builds in Atherton and Hillsborough typically range from $150,000 to $850,000 or higher depending on shell size, finish material, integrated spa, vanishing edge engineering, hardscape, lighting, and outdoor-living scope.

What pool finishes work best in Atherton and Hillsborough?

WETYR Pools network builders match finish to the regional water profile and aesthetic of the home.
Should I add a vanishing edge or infinity edge?
