Industry awards, press and the credentials behind our work.
Since 2010, Morris Pools has designed and built custom pools across Arizona. This page brings together the recognition our projects and our team have received, from industry awards to interviews and features, along with the credentials behind every build. Four winners have their own case studies: the 2026 Pinnacle Award pool, the 2026 Gold freeform pool, the 2026 Silver geometric pool and the 2022 Gold vanishing-edge pool. We’ll add new awards and press here as they come in. To see the pools themselves, visit our pool gallery.
