Skip Phillips –
Known as the World
Poolscape Designer
S
kip Phillips of Questar Pools and
Spas, Inc., is one of the best-known
poolscape design professionals in
the world. He boldly innovates by combining vision with proven engineering
techniques to create dynamic aquatic
treasures that have earned him an international reputation for excellence, ingenuity, and originality.
Phillips began his career in 1975,
repairing and servicing up to 1,100 pools
a week. He learned from the experience
and realized he could design and build
better pools than the ones he main(continued on page 5)
Speakers
(continued)
tained. He launched Questar Pools and
Spas in 1981. In 2013, Phillips was certified as an authorized dealer of BioNova®
Natural Pools to create naturally purified
swimming pools that are chemical-free,
ecologically friendly, and energy-efficient.
“These innovative pools are perfect for
those who demand a more sophisticated
purification system that keeps the environment in mind,” says Phillips. “I am
looking forward to bringing the same level
of creativity and professionalism that I
bring to all my projects to this new venture.”
Phillips’ ability to routinely transform
the seemingly impossible into spectacular
aquatic treasures, which add beauty and
lasting value to a home, has him regularly
flying coast-to-coast and to Europe, the
Caribbean, or other corners of the globe
to work his artistic magic. He captures
homeowners’ fantasies and offers limitless possibilities for years of enjoyment
and aesthetic appeal that blend with the
home and natural surroundings. His
designs have won more than 100 local
and international awards, beginning with
the second pool he built. More
recently, The Robb Report designated
him the best vanishing-edge designer in
the world, and Home & Garden Television
has featured multiple projects.
UNLA and the entire green
industry is looking forward to
hearing from Skip on January
27 beginning at 10:00am and
continuing throughout the day.
We’ve been
waiting, waiting
and waiting.

Floating Water Gardens will enhance the health of any pond or water garden,
both environmentally, as well as biologically. The islands act as a living
bio-filter, with or without plants. Once planted, the plant roots and microbes
consume excess nutrient sources that cause algae bloom.
Floating Water Gardens provide shelter and food for Koi. The roots and concentrated nutrients provide beneficial food to your fish.
At 25 square feet and under, they can be placed into any pond or waterway. Use
your floating water garden to grow vegetables, flower beds, as well as many
other terrestrial and non-terrestrial plants.
Floating Islands West, LLC is the only licensee to sell any and all islands
under 25 sq.ft. within the territory of the United States and Canada.
