When considering pool construction, the first step is to assess the space available. It’s important to understand that a well-designed pool can fit virtually any backyard, regardless of size. For small backyards, consider a geometric pool layout. These pools use clean lines and simple shapes, allowing them to fit neatly into tighter spaces. Their minimalist design not only saves space but also gives a modern, sleek look to your backyard.
Another popular option is the freeform pool. Unlike traditional rectangular pools, these are designed with curves and natural shapes that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. This layout is ideal for those wanting to create a more organic feel. Pair it with natural stone decking or a waterfall feature to further enhance its natural appeal. Freeform pools are perfect for larger yards where space constraints are less of an issue.
Adding multifunctional features to your pool layout can significantly enhance the versatility of your outdoor space. Consider integrating a tanning ledge or a swim-up bar into your pool design. A tanning ledge, also known as a Baja shelf, is a shallow platform where loungers can be partially submerged in water, offering a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. Alternatively, a swim-up bar allows for the ultimate in leisurely luxury, making it easy to grab a drink without ever leaving the water. These features add functionality and can transform your pool into a social hub for gatherings.
Incorporating a spa into your pool layout is another way to elevate your outdoor space. A spa can be seamlessly integrated into your pool design, providing a perfect retreat for relaxation after a long day. Consider placing the spa adjacent to the pool to create a cohesive look, or separate it slightly for added privacy and intimacy.
Landscaping plays a crucial role in the visual impact of your pool. Use plants and greenery to complement your pool design; tropical plants can create a lush, exotic ambiance, while desert plants suit a more arid, minimalistic style. Be sure whatever vegetation you choose fits the climate of your area for a sustainable landscape.
For safety and aesthetic enhancement, lighting is an essential feature. Underwater LED lights can add a dramatic effect to your pool at night, while strategically placed ground lights around the deck can ensure a safe path and highlight architectural features after dark.
Lastly, convenience should never be overlooked. Incorporate functional elements like a nearby pool storage area for accessories and equipment, or perhaps an outdoor shower for rinsing off before and after swimming. This ensures that everything you need is at your fingertips, making poolside leisure even more enjoyable.

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
