Arizona homeowners are turning to custom solutions that enhance pool safety and security as well as integrate amenities that enhance functionality, beauty, and enjoyment of pool and outdoor living areas. Cimarron Circle Construction offers turnkey pool design with a focus on high-end, modern pool features in Arizona. Here is a closer look at the seven most popular modern pool features that Tucson homeowners are adding in 2026.
Infinity Edge Pools
Infinity edge pools create a seamless, vanishing edge that allows for unobstructed views of the gorgeous surrounding desert landscaping. They complement any architectural design and are the ideal partner for wellness-driven, immersive outdoor living experiences. We offer new pool construction of infinity pools that are perfectly adapted to the size, architecture, and design of your home and that visually expand your property boundaries, increase curb appeal and value, and elevate your lifestyle.
Layered Water and Fire Features
Subtle structures and layered architectural fire and water features are replacing bulky rock waterfalls and grottos. Modern homeowners prefer linear, sheet-style waterfalls, contemporary building materials and designs, and sleek metal spillway bowls. They are also opting for automated gas fire bowls and ledges.
Comprehensive Smart Automation Systems
With major advances in available technology, it’s no surprise that modern homeowners want to take advantage of their options. We’re seeing an increase in requests for total smart automation systems that integrate and sync directly with existing smart home ecosystems.
Smart Lighting and Sound
Homeowners are also investing in smart lighting and sound systems that turn the pool area into a fun, entertainment-ready zone that can be used at any time, day or night. They are requesting smart-glow and layered LED lighting for stair lights, color-changing lighting zones, and custom color profiles. Homeowners are also opting for smart sound systems that integrate with the lighting for lights that sync to music.
High-Tech Safety and Security Features
Homeowners are also more concerned about safety and security. We’re getting more and more requests to integrate high-tech safety features into the pool area. This includes:
- WiFi enabled security cameras and lighting systems
- Smart track automated pool safety covers
- Smart fence perimeters with alarms
- Edge-computing smart gate latches

- Barbecue grills
