Schedule a Design Consultation

The first step for designing a custom pool is to set up a consultation with a custom pool design professional. The custom pool designer you work with will help you throughout the process of designing your pool, from figuring out what you want to making sure everything works together and looks amazing. Before your consultation, take a look at our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/cypresscustompools/ for loads of awesome pool pictures.

Think About the Size, Shape, and Depth

Rectangular pools are perfect for swimming laps and exercise and are still a popular option today. However, with a custom pool, you can create a free-form design that works better for your family as well. Consider what your family wants, including the shape, the depth, slides, a swim-up bar, stools, sundecks, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and more. Get a rough idea of what you and your family want, then your designer will take it from there.

What Extra Features Do You Want?

Extra features can make your pool look amazing and add elegance or artistic style to your pool. Consider a rock waterfall, a grotto, bubblers, deck jets, and laminars for your pool. Rock waterfalls and other water features not only add to how your pool looks, but they add white noise that’s perfect for covering up the busy sounds around your home. Firepits and outdoor kitchens are great for relaxing in your backyard or for entertaining guests. Deck jets and laminars can add to the overall look and make your pool look amazing.

You may also want to think about pool slides or LED lights that can help light up your pool at night. There are tons of options for pool slides that your kids will love. LED lights can be one particular color you prefer or can change colors to match your mood. They can illuminate the pool at night or be strategically placed in the landscaping to create the perfect view when you’re outside. These features add more to the look of your pool, can help it look more like a natural oasis, and can create ambiance whether it’s just you and your partner relaxing in the evening or you’re having guests over.

Consider Landscaping Options Around Your Pool

Landscaping can really change the way your pool looks. Take your pool from a bare, boring pool to an oasis area with large flowers or plants that look amazing. This can help change the ambiance and make the pool look more natural. Consider plants that are easy to care for and think about the potential for plants or dirt to get into your pool when you’re planning the landscaping.

Use Your Pool as the Feature in a Backyard Oasis

If you’re looking for a backyard oasis, instead of just a custom pool, think about other features you can add to your backyard to enhance the look and functionality of your backyard and that would work well with your pool. Outdoor kitchens can include grills, refrigerators, kegerators, and more so you can have a fantastic time entertaining outside. Outdoor living areas can create a perfect place to sit and relax in the evenings when you’re not swimming and can be designed to complement your custom pool. Add to the view and functionality of your pool with an outdoor fireplace, a gazebo or pergola. All of this can be designed to work with your pool lighting and pool landscaping to truly transform your backyard into a place you’re going to love.
