But how do you design the perfect at-home getaway—especially when there’s a lot more that goes into it than just digging a hole in the backyard (there is)?
Well, if you want to beat the heat in a custom inground pool this summer, keep reading. Here you’ll find five practical tips for designing your perfect backyard oasis—one that keeps family and friends begging to come over all summer long.
Before installing a pool, think over your total backyard experience.
These questions will help you design a functional outdoor living space. If you’re unsure of the right answers, don’t worry.
A professional backyard developer can help you think through the more practical details.
While the pool may be the star of the show, there’s more to it than that.

All great projects start the same way.
With a solid contractor.
While you can hire separate builders for each aspect of your backyard (pool, patio, landscaping, lighting, fencing, etc), it certainly isn’t recommended.
Instead, focus on building a single relationship with a custom pool and backyard designer you trust. That way, you can benefit from working with an experienced swimming pool installation contractor who handles your entire project from start to finish.
The best backyards combine smart inground pool installation, thoughtful swimming pool construction design, and practical gathering spaces for friends and family to enjoy.
