The biggest mistake that homeowners make is not having a plan.
Unless you have some sort of plan or idea, it is highly likely that you’ll be encouraged to place your pool in a spot that is easiest for your pool builder to install it.
The key to designing your backyard so that you get the most out of your space, is to remember that a pool is just one part of your overall outdoor living environment.
It’s helpful to imagine your backyard space as activity zones. Activity zones should work in harmony with each other.
Think about the flow and functionality of your whole backyard and how to create the maximum amount of usable space.
