Pools for every yard and style
Pools
Rectangular, modern, freeform and lap-style pools with tanning ledges, benches and steps.
Pool and spa
Raised or flush spas, spillovers, stone veneers and seating that fits how you entertain.
Spools
Compact spa-pools for small yards, often with a water wall or feature lighting.
Outdoor living
Decks, fire features, shade structures and planting that tie the pool into the yard.
What we do not do
A3 Outdoor Design provides design services only. To keep your project safe and compliant, these are handled by your licensed pool builder and their engineer:
- Structural engineering and soils reports
- Permit-ready construction drawings
- Grading and drainage engineering
- Construction and installation
