You may not think that a small yard is sufficient to install a pool but this is a possibility that can be considered. You need to have careful planning and you will be able to access innovative design ideas when you work with a professional pool installer.
You need to assess
The available space by measuring the dimensions of the yard, land topography and layout. You have to measure the available space and consider any trees, existing structures, landscaping features etc. that will affect the placement of the pool. Some of the factors that you have to consider are exposure to sunlight, accessibility and privacy when deciding the location for the pool. You can choose a pool design that will maximise the usable space even when you have limited space. There are also space saving features that you can include such as steps, built-in benches, swim benches etc. If there is limited space or limitations in budget, you can also consider above ground pools as they offer a convenient option. When there is an above ground pool, there is no need for excavation and site preparation is very low. This is a good option for a house with a small yard. There are many modern above ground pool designs that you can look into where durable materials and sleek aesthetics can be achieved.
When working
With a professional specialising in pools and spas, they will come up with innovative ways to incorporate a pool into a small yard. Vertical elements can be incorporated into the pool design so that space utilisation can be maximised. Some of the features that can be used are waterfalls, spa sections, cascading fountains etc. This can add a lot of visual interest to the pool area without having to expand the footprint vertically. These elements can also add to the aesthetic appeal of your pool. The soothing water sounds can be quite therapeutic as well. Lap pools are another option you can consider for small yards. They are space efficient and versatile, adding a functional element to lounge and cool off. This makes them a practical option for small yards. There are also plunge pools and modular pools that can be added as a compact option. These are pre-fabricated pools and they offer a variety of sizes, shapes and configurations. This makes it easier for installation.
There are dual functionality features
That you can use for the pool that can increase usability. You can use a pool with a built-in spa section or hot tub. You can also create a pool with a shallow wading area for children as well for a lot of enjoyment. You can also integrate seating and lounging areas to the pool to add functionality and aesthetics. This can help create an efficient pool space. The visual appeal of the pool area can be improved by having a seamless transition between the outdoor and indoor spaces. You can optimise the landscape to do so and add low maintenance plants and shrubs that can thrive in a small yard.
