From a very young age, Lucas Congdon knew that he had a passion for design and creating beautiful spaces outside. From his mother’s landscaping business in Vermont where he got to first see what it was like to bring a project from conception to reality, Lucas discovered firsthand his talent, a talent he would take south many years later…

In 1999, Lucas moved down to Florida, where shortly after he started Lucas Lagoons. The hot and humid Sunshine State gave him the ability to create a custom swimming pool design business that would attract clients year-round.

Then in 2003, at just two years old, his business won the prestigious Gold Award in Residential Pool Restorations, cementing Lucas Lagoons as one of the United States and world’s best pool designer. With some much success and notoriety, others starting hearing about Sarasota’s very own world-class pool design team…

In fact, it wasn’t long until the Lucas Lagoons team’s talent caught the attention of some pretty influential figures…

After years of making their own YouTube videos, executives at Animal Planet came knocking and offered the team their own television show! The show, which became known as Insane Pools: Off the Deep End, showcased the talented team’s swimming pool designs, from beginning to end.

Today on the DIY Network channel, viewers can see just how far Lucas and his team have come with even grander and more insane builds! With 3 seasons under their belt to date, it’s clear that outdoor and landscaping enthusiasts alike love Lucas and his team’s designs.
