This Lake of the Woods pool uses a false vanishing edge beside the lake. The stone-dressed wall was designed to preserve an open view across the water. The project is in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area.

The wall's stone finish makes the pool edge a visible feature from the water as well as the yard.

False edge beside the lake

A false edge can frame a view, while the barrier arrangement must be reviewed for the specific site.

Planning a similar waterfront pool

• Consider sightlines between the pool, wall, and water.
• Review the site grade and wall design as part of the pool layout.
• Confirm the barrier plan with the local permitting authority.
