A pool can take your backyard to the next level, and the best part of building one is that it can be created around your specific needs and desires. At Pools by Design, we build truly custom pools. Here is how our process works, from the first conversation to the finished backyard.
The design consultation
During an initial consultation, one of our designers works with you to understand exactly what you want, asking questions that guide the whole process. We cover how many people will regularly use the pool, along with their ages and swimming ability, how you envision using your dream pool, the aesthetic you prefer, whether modern, traditional, or minimalist, and what your backyard looks like now and how you would like to use it differently. Those answers shape everything that follows.
A cohesive aesthetic
Your pool should complement the look and feel of your home. That does not lock you into a pool that exactly matches your yard today, but it does mean considering your home’s architecture, since a very traditional pool can look out of place with a contemporary home. We stay flexible and design around your preferences so the finished pool feels like it belongs.
Optimized functionality
A well-built pool is not only gorgeous, it functions seamlessly for the way you actually use it. A pool for a family with young kids or grandkids will differ from one built for someone who loves hosting parties and rarely has children swimming. Getting this right is what makes a pool truly custom rather than just attractive.
Features you will love
Features are where a custom pool really stands out. Inside the pool we can add fountains, waterfalls, grottos, and even swim-up bars. Beyond the water, we build fire pits, BBQ islands, and full outdoor kitchens, turning the whole yard into a destination. We pay close attention to every detail so the finished space works as one.
Craftsmanship and both pool types
Construction is where the design becomes reality, and as the only Master Pools Guild member in Southern Arizona, we hold our builds to a high standard from the structure to the finish. Because we build both custom concrete pools and fiberglass pools, our guidance is honest about which fits your yard, timeline, and budget, and we stay with you every step across Tucson and the surrounding communities.
