“Home sales really accelerated the number of pools we were able to sell last year,” Collier said. “As a Neal company, we build all of the pools for Neal Communities’ homes, but we also build pools and spas for several other national and regional homebuilders, along with homeowners themselves.”

Collier also attributes Waterscapes’ growth to the company’s expansion south into Lee and Collier counties and its expansion north into Hillsborough County.
