Choosing the perfect pool size and shape is key to maximizing your space and enjoyment. Here’s what to consider:

1. Measure Your Space

Check yard size, zoning rules, and obstacles like trees or patios.

Leave room for seating and landscaping.

2. Think About How You’ll Use It

Lounging? A small pool with a sun shelf is ideal.

Exercise? A rectangular lap pool works best.

Family fun? A large, multi-depth pool is great.

Aesthetics? Freeform or custom shapes enhance the look.

3. Choose the Right Size

Small (10’-20’): Best for compact spaces.

Medium (20’-30’): Great for families and casual swimming.

Large (30’+): Ideal for entertaining and active use.

4. Pick a Shape That Fits Your Style

Rectangular: Sleek and great for laps.

Freeform: Natural curves blend with landscaping.

L-Shaped/Kidney/Oval: Great for dividing spaces or maximizing small yards.

5. Factor in Extras

Sun shelves, waterfalls, LED lighting, or built-in seating add function and style.

6. Keep Budget in Mind

Larger and more complex pool shapes typically come with a higher price tag due to excavation, materials, and added features. When budgeting for your pool:

   •   Factor in long-term maintenance costs for different sizes and shapes.

   •   Consider materials—concrete pools allow for customization but cost more, while fiberglass and vinyl pools are more budget-friendly.

   •   If space is tight, a smaller pool with premium features can provide a luxurious feel without the cost of a large build.

The right pool size and shape depend on your space, needs, and budget. Need help designing your dream pool? Contact us today!
