Every Element, From Water To Stone To Light,
Composed In Perfect Harmony
More Than a Pool — A Masterpiece of Outdoor Artistry
A pool is more than water—it’s an experience. It’s a morning swim in stillness, an afternoon of laughter, an evening under the stars. Your private oasis begins here.
Splash into Something Magical—Your Private Escape Awaits
We specialize in designing not just the pool, but the entire environment—because a beautiful pool only matters when it’s part of a cohesive, thoughtfully designed space that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. From revolutionary Soake® plunge pools—small, space-saving precast concrete pools that combine the benefits of a pool and hot tub and can be enjoyed year-round—to fiberglass installations and custom designs, we specialize in crafting the entire outdoor vision.
Whether installing directly or collaborating with your chosen pool builder, we ensure your landscape, hardscape, and poolscape flow as one. The result is a cohesive, luxurious retreat built for the way you live.

Any Pool, Any Vision
Guided by Magic
Your dream pool doesn’t need to fit into a category. Whether you’ve already selected a pool contractor or are just beginning to explore your options, Magic Landscaping can serve as your design lead and project manager, ensuring that your pool is part of a thoughtful, beautiful, and fully integrated landscape.
Soake® Pools
Luxury Meets Simplicity
Soake® pools are perfect for those who want the serenity of a spa without the size of a traditional pool.
As certified Soake® pool installers, Magic Landscaping builds these compact plunge pools into tranquil, elegant landscapes. From natural stone patios to spa-like plantings, every detail is custom-curated to enhance the sense of calm and cohesion. Small scale, big impact.
Fiberglass Pools
Durable Beauty, Expertly Integrated
As an Authorized Leisure Pools Installer, Magic offers a wide range of sleek, low-maintenance fiberglass pools—from classic rectangles to freeform designs.
We’ll help you choose the shape and integrate it into your overall outdoor space. Our design process ensures your pool looks like it belongs there, with coordinating patios, outdoor kitchens, water features, and more.
Concrete Pools
Total Customization, Expert Execution
When you need something truly custom, a concrete pool is often the answer.
Magic Landscaping collaborates with experienced pool builders, oversees the construction timeline, and ensures the pool integrates perfectly with your surroundings. Whether it's dramatic waterfalls, natural stone hardscapes, or modern lounging areas, your concrete pool is part of a greater whole: a space that feels complete.
Vinyl Pools
Flexible Design, Lasting Beauty
Vinyl pools offer a versatile, cost-effective way to bring a dream backyard to life.
At Magic Landscaping, we design every vinyl pool to flow seamlessly with your outdoor environment, balancing form, function, and feeling. From custom shapes to integrated patios and plantings, your vinyl pool becomes a centerpiece in a space that feels effortless, elegant, and entirely yours.
Pool Restoration
Transform What You Already Have
Sometimes, the best solution is not a brand-new pool, but breathing new life into an existing one.
Magic Landscaping facilitates restoration services to help turn aging or outdated pools into cohesive focal points for a fully updated outdoor living space. We’ll design around what’s worth saving, add in new materials and modern features, and coordinate with trusted pool professionals to manage every detail.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The right pool type comes down to lot size, budget, how custom the shape needs to be, and how long you are willing to be under construction. Fiberglass pools arrive as a finished shell, install faster than poured options, and carry a manufacturer's lifetime guarantee through Magic Landscaping's Authorized Leisure Pools Installer status. Soake® plunge pools are precast concrete units that combine a pool and a hot tub in a compact footprint, which makes them workable on tight Bergen County lots and usable year-round. Concrete pools allow full customization of shape, depth, and features but take the longest to build. Vinyl pools offer custom shapes at a lower cost than concrete, with a liner replaced periodically over the life of the pool. Magic Landscaping works through those tradeoffs against the actual property rather than starting from a catalog.
-
Magic Landscaping installs fiberglass and Soake® plunge pools directly as an authorized installer for both, and partners with experienced pool builders on concrete and vinyl projects while managing the design, the schedule, and the surrounding landscape. Being direct about that split matters, because a company claiming to self-perform every pool type is usually subcontracting something and not saying so. On collaborative builds, Magic serves as design lead and project manager, which means one point of accountability across the pool trade, the masonry, the plantings, and the lighting. Homeowners looking strictly for a pool shell with no landscape scope around it are better served going directly to a pool contractor.
-
Homeowners who have already selected a pool contractor can bring Magic Landscaping in as the design lead and project manager for everything surrounding the pool. That role covers the patio and coping, grading and drainage, plantings, lighting, fire features, and the coordination between trades so the pool does not end up sitting in an unfinished yard. Pools are frequently sold and built without a plan for the rest of the space, which is how backyards end up looking assembled rather than designed. Bringing the landscape plan in before excavation is considerably easier than working around finished concrete.
-
Pool restoration is often the better option when the shell is structurally sound but the surface, coping, decking, or surrounding landscape has aged out. Magic Landscaping designs around what is worth keeping, updates materials and features, and coordinates with pool professionals on the technical work. Restoration typically means new surfaces, updated outdoor living space, current lighting, and refreshed plantings instead of a full excavation and rebuild. Whether it makes sense depends on the condition of the shell and the equipment, which is the first thing assessed during a site visit.
