Celebrating Burleson Pool’s 2025 PHTA International Awards of Excellence
At Burleson Pool Company, our passion for creating breathtaking outdoor living spaces has always been at the heart of what we do. This year, that dedication was honored on an international stage as we proudly took home not one, but two accolades from the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) 2025 International Awards of Excellence.
Our freeform pool design earned the coveted Gold Award, while our stunning vanishing edge pool received the Bronze Award. These honors reflect our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and designs that blend seamlessly with their surroundings to elevate your backyard experience.
The prestige of the PHTA International Awards of Excellence
The PHTA’s International Awards of Excellence program is one of the most prestigious competitions in the pool and hot tub industry. It recognizes outstanding installations of pools, spas, hot tubs, and water features that demonstrate beauty, creativity, and technical mastery. Each year, hundreds of entries pour in from across the United States and around the globe, all vying for the recognition of an elite panel of judges.
These judges—esteemed professionals from the design, construction, and service sectors—evaluate each submission on its design, construction quality, and innovation. Winning among such fierce competition is a true testament to the skill, dedication, and artistry of our entire team.
About the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance
Founded in 1956, the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance is the leading non-profit organization representing more than 4,000 members worldwide in the $62 billion pool, hot tub, and spa industry. Beyond honoring exceptional design, PHTA plays a vital role in shaping the industry’s future by promoting water safety, offering education and professional development, advocating for the industry, and supporting innovation.
The Alliance’s mission extends beyond professionals—it also works to expand access to swimming and safe aquatic environments, ensuring communities can enjoy the benefits of well-designed, well-maintained pools.
Behind the award-winning designs
The freeform pool, our Gold Award recipient, embodies both elegance and functionality. Its fluid layout balances open swim space with inviting lounging areas, making it a versatile centerpiece for any backyard.
Our vanishing edge pool, which secured the Bronze Award, is a striking example of engineering precision, where water appears to merge seamlessly with the horizon—a feature that transforms any view into a breathtaking focal point.
Both projects are the result of our decades of design expertise, while our emphasis on close collaboration with our clients ensures that every detail is considered to maximize relaxation and elevate the surrounding outdoor space.
A shared success
These awards are as much about our clients as they are about our team. Without their trust, creativity, and willingness to dream big, such remarkable projects wouldn’t be possible. We’re deeply grateful to those who choose Burleson Pool Company to bring their backyard visions to life.
Looking ahead
We view these honors not as a final destination, but as motivation to keep raising the bar. As we continue designing and building custom pools across Alabama, we remain dedicated to delivering exceptional quality, innovation, and service.
