Pool design and construction, planned with the yard around it
A pool usually becomes the center of the backyard. We design the pool and spa together with the deck, shade, planting, and lighting around them, so the yard works when you are in the water and when you are not.
Planning a pool
The best time to plan a pool is with the rest of the yard. Where the pool sits decides where the patio goes, where shade is needed, where equipment can hide, and how much lawn is left.
If you already have a pool and want to rebuild the space around it, we can plan new paving, outdoor living areas, and planting around what is there.
What goes into a pool plan
-
Placement
Sun, wind, views from the house, and distance from trees all affect where a pool should go. Afternoon sun warms the water and the deck.
-
Shape and size
A long rectangle suits laps and modern houses. A spa, steps, or a bench changes how the pool gets used. We size it to the yard and the way you will use it.
-
Spa and water features
A raised spa can spill into the pool, and sheer descents or water walls add sound and movement.
-
Deck and surrounds
The deck is where people spend most of their time. Its size, finish, and shade matter as much as the water.
-
Equipment
Pumps and filters need a spot that is out of sight, out of earshot, and still easy to service.
-
Safety and access
Fencing, gates, and covers depend on your household and local requirements. We talk through barrier options during design.

Planting, lighting, and finishing touches go in last, so the yard is complete when the pool is ready to use.
Questions about pool design and construction
Something else on your mind? Call (916) 349-8755.
How long does it take to build a pool?
It depends on the size of the pool, the site, and what is being built around it. We talk through expected timing for your project during the consultation.
Can you add a spa to the pool?
Yes. A spa can be built into the pool or raised above it so it spills over into the water.
Do you build the patio and landscaping around the pool too?
Yes. We design and build the deck, outdoor living areas, planting, and lighting around the pool, so the whole yard is planned together.
Where should the pool equipment go?
Somewhere out of sight and sound but easy to reach for service. Equipment placement is part of the pool design.
