Our Story
With over 14 years at the forefront of pool design and construction, Basin Pool Designs has become the leading pool construction company in the area. At the helm is Nick Buchholz, a designer and builder whose unmatched passion for meticulous and detailed craftsmanship sets us apart.
Born and raised in Franklin, Tennessee, Nick’s commitment to creating high-quality, bespoke watershapes is deeply rooted in his local heritage. Building a business renowned for its creative pool and landscape design has always been his dream. His pursuit of excellence took him to Arizona, where he refined his design skills and met his wife, Carly. After 12 years, family ties brought them back to Middle Tennessee, enriching the region with Nick’s expertise and passion.
Today, as the owner of one of the area’s most sought-after design and construction firms, Nick is accredited by the Better Business Bureau and the Tennessee Board of Contractors among others. What drives him most is understanding the unique desires of each client and transforming those visions into breathtaking realities.
