Custom Pool Design in Memphis, TN
The best pool isn’t the biggest pool. It’s the one designed around your yard, your family, and the way you actually live. That takes real design work — not a catalog and a price list.
What Custom Pool Design Actually Means
Custom design means the pool is engineered for your specific site. Not a shape from a brochure, not a standard depth profile, not a feature list that’s the same for every homeowner.
Yard Analysis
Lot size, setbacks, grade, drainage, sun orientation, views from your living areas. All of it informs the design. A pool positioned wrong relative to your home can be in shade during the hours you most want to use it.
Lifestyle Assessment
A pool for a family with young children is a fundamentally different design than one for a couple who entertains. A lap swimmer has different needs than someone who wants a resort-style escape. We ask the right questions before we draw anything.
Shape & Depth
Gunite means your pool can be any shape — freeform, geometric, L-shaped, kidney, lagoon. Depth profiles are customized too. A pool with a large shallow sunning area and a 6-foot deep end is just as buildable as a standard rectangle.
Water Features
Waterfalls, spillovers, deck jets, bubblers, and fire features are designed as part of the pool from the beginning — not added on as afterthoughts. Integration at the design stage means better aesthetics and better plumbing.
Interior Finishes
The interior finish affects the color of the water, the feel underfoot, and the maintenance requirements. We walk you through standard plaster, Marsite, and Hydrazo — and help you choose based on your goals and timeline.
Outdoor Living Integration
We design pools as part of your complete backyard — not a standalone hole in the ground. Coping, decking, landscaping, lighting, and outdoor structures are all part of the conversation from day one.
How the Design Process Works
Initial Consultation
We come to your property, walk the yard, take measurements, and discuss your vision. Free consultation — no pressure, no sales pitch, just information gathering.
Design Development
We develop a pool design based on the consultation — proposed dimensions, shape, depth profile, feature locations, and equipment placement.
Revisions
We refine the design based on your feedback. Most projects go through two or three rounds before we arrive at a final design you’re genuinely excited about.
Detailed Proposal
Once the design is finalized, we produce an itemized proposal. No vague estimates — you see exactly what you’re paying for, line by line.
