Custom In-Ground Pool Design in Burlington
Also Serving Oakville and Surrounding Areas
Your Backyard, Designed From The Ground Up
A pool does not exist in isolation, it is the centrepiece of an outdoor space designed for the way you and your household lives. The decisions made around it, from the hardscape to the lighting, the cabana to the space for kids to run, all matter just as much as the pool itself.
At Ignite Landscapes, we lead the design of not only custom in-ground swimming pools but the complete outdoor environments around them. We’ll coordinate your full project from first concept through to the finished landscape, working with trusted pool specialists while building everything around the pool in-house.
And of course, every project starts with how you want to live in your backyard.
Ignite Landscapes currently serves homeowners in Burlington, Oakville and the surrounding GTA, including Hamilton, Mississauga, and beyond. We also understand the specific permit requirements, lot considerations, and seasonal realities of building in this region, and when you work with Ignite, we manage all of it on your behalf.
How a Custom Pool Project Works
Concept & 3D Design
You’ll receive a full design, including 3D visuals, for adjustment and approval before any work begins.
Permits & Project Coordination
Ignite manages all permit requirements and pool specialist coordination so you don’t have to.
Build & Landscape
Once the pool is in, we complete everything around it, from hardscape and lights to custom cabanas.
- What Makes Ignite Different
Karla brings over 25 years of hands-on landscaping experience to every project.
She’s not a salesperson who hands your project off. She designs it, coordinates it, and sees it through.
While most homeowners planning a pool usually have to manage 2-3 separate contractors for their yard elements, Karla and the Ignite team lead the entire project and every specialist involved.
This ensures the pool, the hardscaping, the lighting, the planting, the cabanas, the kitchens, the pool houses, and other project elements all feel like one landscape, not a Tetris puzzle.

We Know Your Home Well
Burlington properties have a character of their own. Mature lots, established trees and neighbours in close proximity all shape what is possible and what works.
We have been designing and building outdoor spaces in this part of the GTA long enough to know the lay of the land, and every pool design reflects the specific conditions of the property and the lifestyle of those who live on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom pool project take from design to completion?
Most custom inground pool projects in Burlington take between 2 and 6 weeks from construction start to completion, depending on size, complexity, and site conditions.
We manage the full project timeline, including the pool build and everything around it, so you have a single schedule to follow rather than coordinating separately with multiple contractors. We will give you a realistic timeline during your initial design consultation.
Do you handle permits and inspections in Burlington?
Yes. Ignite manages all permit applications, inspections, and municipal approvals. We are familiar with the local requirements and build permitting time into the project plan from the start rather than treating it as a separate step.
Can the pool be designed alongside other backyard elements like a custom cabana or outdoor kitchen?
Absolutely, and this is where a design-led approach makes the biggest difference.
Designing the pool alongside the surrounding patio, cabana, outdoor kitchen, and landscaping means the proportions, materials, and sightlines are considered together from the start.
Many of our clients are planning complete backyard transformations, and we design the whole space as a unified project.
