Start by thinking smaller yet smarter. Plunge pools are an excellent choice for those who want a taste of luxury without the massive footprint or price tag. These smaller pools require less space and fewer construction materials, reducing the overall cost significantly. Despite their size, plunge pools can be beautifully customized with features like jets for relaxation, heating for year-round enjoyment, and even clever landscaping to boost aesthetic appeal.
Another wallet-friendly option is opting for a vinyl liner pool. Many assume that concrete is the only material for custom pools, but vinyl liners can mimic the look and feel of more expensive materials while offering a cost-effective alternative. Vinyl pools are faster to install, which translates to lower labor costs. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, providing flexibility in design without compromising on style or function.
Incorporating water features can dramatically transform the look of a simple design without escalating the costs. Features such as waterfalls, fountains, and bubblers not only enhance the visual appeal but also create a soothing ambience. Our team at Out Back Pool and Spa Creations can help integrate these stylish features into your design, ensuring your pool feels luxurious even on a budget.
Innovative financing options can also bring your dream within reach sooner. We're committed to helping you explore practical payment plans that fit your budget. By spreading out the cost over time, you can invest in higher quality materials or add more features without compromising on immediate expenses. Our experts will guide you through the financial aspects, ensuring you can afford the pool of your dreams today, not years from now.
Simplicity is often key when working on a budget. A straightforward rectangular pool not only looks classy and elegant but also minimizes excavation and construction costs. Simplicity in design doesn't mean you have to sacrifice on luxury, though. Elegant lighting, attractive tiling, and sophisticated landscaping can enhance the luxe factor substantially.
To maximize your budget further, consider phased construction. By completing your pool and selecting additional features in stages, you can spread the investment over time. Install the basic pool structure first, and gradually enhance it with benches, jets, or updated finishes as your budget allows.
Finally, smart landscaping is indispensable. Collaborate with our skilled team to utilize plants and flowers that not only look cohesive but also offer privacy and beauty at a lower cost. A well-chosen flora and strategic placement of stones or pavers can transform a basic pool area into a stunning resort-like retreat.
At Out Back Pool and Spa Creations, we are dedicated to crafting affordable pool solutions tailored to your budget without sacrificing quality or style. Our goal is to provide a customized pool experience that blends luxury with thriftiness, ensuring you enjoy the backyard paradise you've always dreamed of.

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.

If you’re looking for a company that delivers excellence with integrity, this is the team to trust.
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
