Small Backyard Pool Ideas
When it comes to small backyard pools, creativity is key. Advance Pools’ experts will work closely with you to determine what’s right for your space before building your new pool.
You may consider installing a small plunge pool, which provides a refreshing spot to cool off without taking up too much space, and you may want to incorporate features like built-in seating, waterfalls, or jets to enhance your pool’s functionality and aesthetic appeal. We can even help you use vertical space with features like cascading plants or wall fountains to create a relaxing oasis.
To make the most of your space, you may want to consider geometric shapes for a modern look or choose an organic shape that blends seamlessly with your home’s natural surroundings. You may also want to incorporate elements like natural stone, wood decking, or tile to add texture and style. Lighting also plays an important role, and you may want to use LED lights to create a cozy ambiance for evening swims.

What Are Small Backyard Plunge Pools?
A small backyard plunge pool is a fantastic option for limited spaces. These pools are typically shallow and designed for lounging rather than swimming. We can install them in-ground or above-ground, depending on your preference and budget. Plunge pools are perfect for cooling off on hot days, and we can even enhance them with features like heating for year-round use, massage jets for added relaxation, or fire and water pool features.
Designing a Pool for a Small Backyard
We design pools for small backyards to maximize your available space while providing you with all the benefits that come with larger pools. We’ll discuss your needs to determine what will work best. We may suggest a long, narrow lap pool, a freeform pool we can customize in any shape, or even an above-ground pool that offers more flexibility.
Maintenance Tips for Small Backyard Pools
Maintaining a small backyard pool is a lot like caring for a larger pool, but it may be easier due to the reduced water volume.
To maintain your pool:
- Regularly skim the surface to remove debris and vacuum the bottom to keep it clean.
- Check and balance the water chemistry weekly to ensure it remains safe to swim in.
- Clean the pool’s filters regularly and inspect for any signs of wear or damage.
