Choosing the Best Swimming Pool Landscape Design Shapes
Our page on choosing the absolute best swimming pool landscape design shapes and sizes is complementary to this page and will help you with
planning and forethought
for your new pool.
While actual pool size is rather important, space constraints aren't the only concern as you also won't want the swimming area to completely overwhelm your landscaping, but rather complement it. For this reason it's wise to familiarize yourself with the many different shapes of pools as soon as you have a general idea as to what your space will be able to accommodate. 
- Classic Designs: Classic design swimming pools don't necessarily mean your average, cookie-cutter design that you'd see in one backyard after another. This style of pool may include unique features such as a cascading
waterfall
or a raised spa area.
- Custom Built Swimming Pool Designs: Custom built designs feature personal touches and customized styles that could include a wide variety of shapes and sizes that are limited only by one's imagination. 
- Free Form Swimming Pools: This style of swimming pool is becoming more and more popular as it gives homeowners complete control over the look and overall design of their pools. Freeform pools may include naturalistic or lagoon styles and will usually feature a focal point such as a rock formation mimicking a tropical oasis. 
- Geometric Pool Shapes: The simplest of geometric pool shapes include basic rectangles, squares, circles, and ovals, and feature either very straight lines and edges, or a consistent radius around the perimeter. Both Grecian and Roman styles of pools are rectangular, but with rounded edges for a subtler feel. These types of swimming pool landscape design shapes are ideal for invoking a formal or upscale look. 
- L Shaped Swimming Pools: As the name suggests, these pools are constructed in the shape of the letter L and feature straight edges with one side shorter than the other. Variations of this basic style include both the Bermuda Full and the Bahama Full.For the ultimate in professional advice and guidance on deciding on the absolute best swimming pool landscape design shapes for your specific needs and your available space, contact our landscape members who are knowledgeable experts in this field.
