The pool matters. But so does everything around it. We build the pool and the deck — one contractor, one design conversation, one project.

Inground Pool Shapes: From Simple to Stunning

The shape of your pool sets the tone for the whole backyard. Fiberglass pools come in pre-formed shell options; custom concrete pools can be built in virtually any shape — no catalog required. Here are the most popular options we build:

  • Rectangle & geometric pools — clean lines that work well with modern outdoor spaces and contemporary house pool designs
  • Freeform pools — curved, natural shapes that feel like they belong in the landscape. Good for yards with mature trees or irregular layouts.
  • Plunge pools — compact and deep. These fit into tighter spaces and make a stronger pool design statement than you'd expect for the footprint.
  • Roman & Grecian end pools — a classic look with curved ends that adds a more architectural feel to the yard

Pool Deck Ideas & Decorative Concrete Finishes

Most people spend more time on the deck than in the water — we take that seriously. Here’s what we offer for pool deck finishes, and every one can be paired with custom coping, steps, and decorative borders to pull the whole pool area together:

  • Stamped concrete — patterns that mimic stone, slate, or tile. One of the most popular deck ideas for inground pools we see right now.
  • Colored concrete — custom colors matched to your home's exterior
  • Exposed aggregate — a textured finish with a natural look; popular choice for the aesthetic it brings to the pool surround
  • Brushed concrete — clean, affordable, and better looking than people give it credit for
