Is your dream pool a private retreat for two, a lively gathering place for the whole family, or the ultimate space for entertaining? No matter your vision, a custom-designed pool can bring it to life. Explore design ideas and see how our portfolio of custom pools can inspire the perfect backyard escape.

1. Backyard Oasis
Dreaming of a private retreat right outside your door? A backyard oasis design transforms your space into a peaceful haven, perfect for quiet moments alone or relaxing evenings with close family and friends. This style embodies a true escape where you can unwind and recharge.
Key features include lush landscaping with tall plants and grasses for privacy, natural water elements, and thoughtfully designed hardscapes to blend beauty and function.
And, a poolside firepit adds the finishing touch, perfect for extending the evening with warm, intimate conversations under the stars.

2. Family Party Zone
Looking to create a backyard destination where family and friends naturally gather? A family-focused pool might be the perfect fit. Designed with all ages in mind, these pools include features that maximize fun and connection, like diving boards, water slides, and beach entries (also called sun shelves) that are ideal for younger swimmers.
Family pools are big, welcoming, and built for action, with plenty of deck space for shaded lounging, outdoor dining, and watching the kids’ endless cannonball contests. While all pools should prioritize safety, family-friendly designs should consider going a step further with added protections like secure fencing, load-bearing pool covers, and thoughtful layouts that keep little ones safe while they play.

3. Elevated Poolside Entertaining
If Memorial Day barbecues and Fourth of July parties are your time to shine, a pool designed for entertaining might be your perfect match. These pools are all about the “wow” factor — blending beautiful design with functionality that enables entertaining to last well beyond the summer months.
Think expansive seating areas, scenic views, lush landscaping, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen ready for your summer feasts.
Bonus: Consider an open-concept outdoor bar with comfortable high-top seating, which creates a natural hub for guests to relax, mingle, and enjoy the space.
