From classic rectangles to custom freeform designs, we’ll help you choose the pool shape and size that fits your backyard, your budget, and your family’s needs. With 43 years of experience, we know which designs work best for Indiana families.
Choosing the right pool shape and size can feel overwhelming. Should you go with a classic rectangle or something more unique? How big is too big? What fits in your yard and your budget?
The good news is there’s no “wrong” choice – just the right choice for your family. A young family with toddlers needs different depths than empty nesters. A narrow backyard calls for different shapes than a wide-open space.
We’ve designed thousands of pools across Central Indiana. We know which shapes work best for entertaining, which sizes are perfect for exercise, and how to make any pool fit beautifully in your landscape. Let us help you find your perfect match.

Rectangle pools are most popular, followed by kidney shapes. Rectangles are versatile, cost-effective, and work well with our climate.
We provide free site evaluations to measure your space and discuss options. We’ll show you exactly what sizes and shapes will work.
Shape changes are much easier before excavation begins. During design, we encourage you to consider all options and take your time deciding.
Pools as small as 10′ x 20′ can provide great enjoyment. It depends on your goals – cooling off, exercise, or entertaining.
Larger pools do cost more to heat and require more chemicals, but the difference is often smaller than people expect. We can estimate ongoing costs.
Rectangle and oval pools work best with automatic safety covers. Custom shapes can use covers but may be more expensive.
Some features can be added later, but it’s usually more cost-effective to include them in the original design.
