Tiered backyard with pool

Can you install a pool on a sloped lot? This is a question we get a lot — and the answer is YES! Most yards are not perfectly level. If your slope is minimal, it can easily be fixed with construction equipment and grading. For more significant slopes, consider: > Retaining walls > Multi-level terracing > Tiered patio areas > A swim-up bar > An infinity edge All of these features can alter your yard to accommodate a pool while also adding loads of visual interest!

Considering a pool, but concerned about your sloped backyard? Our versatile pools can be installed inground, above ground, or partially inground to suit any landscape.
