Protecting Pool and Golf Course Views in Lake Mary
Lake Mary takes its name from Mary Sundell, an early settler’s wife, and grew out of two tiny railroad settlements before incorporating in 1973 under a motto that still fits: the City of Lakes. Alongside neighboring Heathrow, an upscale planned community developed in the 1980s, Lake Mary has become one of Seminole County’s more affluent addresses, with the mixed-use Colonial TownPark development anchoring its I-4 corridor with office space, dining, and shopping. Many Lake Mary and Heathrow homes sit on or near a lake or golf course, which makes the view as much a part of the property as the pool itself.
That same lake-heavy setting drives up mosquito and debris pressure on an open pool, and Central Florida’s humid summers and regular storms don’t spare Lake Mary any more than the rest of the county. A screen enclosure keeps the water clean and the insects off the patio without requiring homeowners to give up the lake or golf course views that drew them to the area.
- Blocks mosquitoes generated by Lake Mary’s numerous lakes and ponds.
- Preserves golf course and lakefront views with ScenicView framing.
- Keeps leaves and debris out of the pool.
- Meets Florida’s pool safety barrier code.
- Cuts cleaning time and chemical costs.
- Protects the resale value of homes in Lake Mary and Heathrow.
Engineering Built for Lake Mary’s Wind Zones
For lake and golf course lots around Lake Mary and Heathrow, CRA’s ScenicView enclosures use wider panels and slimmer aluminum framing specifically to keep sightlines open, while still relying on the same patented ChannelLock Self-Mating Beam used across every CRA project. That beam is backed by nine U.S. patents and carries Florida Product Approval Designation FL#19700, the only beam of its kind approved by Florida’s DBPR, and CRA’s in-house engineering team calculated drawings to the wind zone of each specific property. CRA is a Florida State Licensed Contractor (Lic. SCC056736, CGC058897, and CBC1270440) serving all 11 counties in its Central Florida and Gulf Coast footprint, including Seminole County.

FAQs

2: Does CRA serve Heathrow as well as Lake Mary proper?
Yes. CRA’s Seminole County service area covers Lake Mary, Heathrow, and the surrounding communities as part of its broader 11-county Florida service footprint.
3: Can CRA quote a fence or gutter project alongside a pool enclosure in Lake Mary?
Yes. In addition to pool and patio enclosures, CRA installs aluminum railings, fencing, and seamless gutters, and can bundle multiple projects on the same property into one quote.
