This homeowner was looking to create a backyard catered to their young grandchildren. The end result was a kidney shaped custom pool, a fire pit area, hot tub, pool house and outdoor kitchen. Instead of installing a diving board, we opted for a more natural appearing approach with an elevated patio at the deep end with large flat rocks for jumping off.

Designing a pool to wrap closely around the corner of the house allowed for a full-size pool as well as spa and waterfalls. Vinyl-lined pools make it easier to implement such a tight design. www.deckandpatio.com

The stones in the foreground form the edges of a stream created from a fountain placed to the right off picture. The stream flows into the pool and recirculates back to the fountain. Large natural boulders function as a bridge over the stream and also as a secondary diving board. Photo Credit: Roger Foley
