Choosing the right pool design is crucial to maximizing your family's enjoyment and the utility of your investment. Start by considering how your family intends to use the pool. Will it be a hub for weekend parties? A sanctuary for relaxation after a long day? Or perhaps a place for kids to splash and play? Identifying your primary goals early on can help guide the design of your pool for both aesthetics and function.
Safety should always be a primary concern when designing a family pool. Installing features like gradual entry points, also known as beach entries, can ensure easy access for swimmers of all ages. Additionally, safety alarms and pool covers offer peace of mind when the pool is not in use. These design choices ensure that your pool is as safe as it is enjoyable.
Incorporating versatile features can transform a pool from a simple swim basin into a multifunctional entertainment space. Think about adding a built-in spa for ultimate relaxation or a water slide for the kids’ enjoyment. A separate shallow area can serve as a play zone for younger children, while deeper sections can be allotted for swimming laps or diving.
The aesthetic of your pool is equally important. The choice of materials can drastically influence the look and feel of your space. Natural stone or modern concrete finishes can complement different architectural styles, adding an elegant backdrop to your backyard. Surrounding your pool with lush landscaping not only elevates its beauty but also provides natural shade, privacy, and a seamless integration into the backyard environment.
Energy efficiency is another key consideration for a functional pool. Using solar heaters, LED lighting, and high-efficiency pumps can reduce operating costs and environmental impact. Incorporating smart home technology, such as automated pool covers or advanced filtration systems, can further streamline maintenance and enhance your swimming experience.
Consideration for year-round use can also be incorporated into pool design. Engaging with heating solutions or strategic enclosures can ensure your pool remains a centerpiece for family activities regardless of the season. These enhancements not only extend the time you can enjoy the pool but also maximize your return on investment.
Finally, a poolside retreat can be incomplete without considering outdoor living elements. By integrating a poolside kitchen, fire pit, or shaded seating area, you can create a comprehensive outdoor living space that is conducive to both intimate family gatherings and larger social events.

Marlin & his team did an incredible job bringing our vision to life. Super communicative and responsive throughout the whole process. Would use again for a 3rd build if needed.
We have used Marlin for 2 pool builds. He & his team at Outback Pools did an incredible job bringing our vision to life. They were super communicative and responsive throughout the whole process, and the attention to detail they brought to the project was impressive. They were a pleasure to work with and the end result is just amazing. 5 stars isn't enough - they're the real deal.

Amazing Service. We had a tough issue with our water fountain from previous pool builders so we reached out to him for his service and he didn’t give up until the problem was fixed! Amazing person with professional work. Highly recommend.

Outback Pool & Spa Creations recently completed a full refurbishing of our outdated pool and pool deck. Their professionalism, punctuality and experienced staff are friendly and on time. Marlin, the owner, stays on top of the project every day and is just a phone call away. His 30 years in building pools and running projects shows. I highly recommend Marlin and his company.

We had our pool and patio cover built by Marlin and his team in 2023, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Marlin was trustworthy, dependable, and easy to work with. The quality of the construction has held up beautifully over time, and we still get compliments on how everything looks. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pool builder.
Outback did an excellent job remodeling my pool. Marlin obtained the exact tile we needed for the job and installation was excellent. The remodel turned out the way we had hoped and at the cost that was quoted.
Congratulations, Marline and Family! If you're considering building a pool, look no further. With 40 years of experience, he’s been involved in thousands of projects in one capacity or another. As a nonprofit, we are required to obtain multiple bids before awarding a project, and I can confidently say that no one can compete with Marline's proposal. I know what some readers might be thinking, but rest assured, he delivers unparalleled quality and meticulous craftsmanship that we all expect from a family-owned business. What truly sets Marline apart is his hands-on approach. He personally supervises the entire project starting at 6 AM, ensuring that every detail is perfect. Unlike many companies that show up at the beginning and disappear until the end, Marline is present at every stage of the project, dedicated to excellence. I cannot express how grateful I am for Marline's contribution—not just for building a pool, but for helping us create a stunning 44-acre Recreational Community Center. His vast experience, knowledge, and wisdom guided us through the entire process, resulting in a beautiful facility that will serve our community for years to come. In the end, actions speak louder than words. Above all, Marline is a trustworthy, genuine individual who truly cares about his work and the people he serves. Thank you, Marline!
From initial concept and design thru completion and start up. I couldn't be more pleased with Outback pool. One thing I really appreciated was the no pressure sales, designing exactly what I wanted ( with some helpfull suggestions thrown in). I felt revisions were priced fairly, no " bait and switch" techniques used here. We got exactly the pool and pool house we wanted, without exception. Outback is the only pool company I will use in the future.. Stephen Crain
