Custom Design

Complete Design Freedom!

Your pool can be as unique as your family. The shape you create in your backyard does not affect the price. You will work with a designer to build your pool from rendering to conceptual design.

At Buckeye Pools, we have built custom pools, spas, and water features for commercial and residential properties in Dayton, OH, for over 40 years. Unlike other pool builders, we make sure that you take an active role in every part of your custom pool construction, including designing the pool.

Custom Pool Designs for Any Property

We’ll help your ideal pool become a reality by combining your personal needs and ideas with our design experience. We work with your property’s unique layout and constraints to create a pool that is efficient, enjoyable, and safe.

Before we start any building, we conduct an in-depth consultation that considers your outdoor space, budget, and personal needs to design a pool that perfectly balances all of these elements. While your budget may decide what you can accomplish with a custom pool, we provide affordable rates and work to maximize your value within these limits.

Size and shape are also somewhat limited by your available space, but even smaller designs have many customizable features. Swimmers who enjoy diving would want to include a deep well near a diving board, while an athletic swimmer might prefer a long and narrow pool suitable for swimming laps.

While we will specially construct your custom-designed pool to fit your outdoor space, we highly recommend considering the swimming pool style that you wish to build. Your swimming pool’s design will typically fall under one of the following categories:

● Modern pools include sharp square shapes to create striking designs that work well with many architectural styles.
● Classic pools use clean lines, arches, and Mediterranean details that work well with Roman or Grecian themes.
● Lap pools integrate features such as rope guides and diving platforms into modern or classic designs to make a suitable athletic training environment.
● Indoor pools allow you to enjoy almost all of the same features as an outdoor pool without worrying about the weather.
● Natural pools form soft curves with natural rock and vegetation to imitate naturally formed bodies of water.
● Freeform pools work with your current outdoor design to create more space with irregular shapes.
● Infinity pools create a visually appealing horizon by continually allowing water to flow over at least one of its edges into a basin below.

Our professional builders have the experience necessary to design and build a pool and matching hot tub that meets your needs no matter what style you prefer.

Designing the pool itself is just one part of a complete pool home improvement project. Depending on your safety, security, and entertainment needs, you can customize your pool with a wide variety of features for the best swimming pool experience.

Decorating your custom pool can be almost as much fun as swimming in it. Water features such as detailed rock waterfalls and fountains create a relaxing background for your leisure activities, while colored LED lighting makes swimming at night more exciting.

Other functional features are just as important to your swimming pool experience. Add sun ledges or seats for shallow relaxation areas or slides and diving boards for more active enjoyment. We also let you fully customize systems, including filters, pumps, and cleaners, so that you have complete control over how your custom pool operates.

At Buckeye Pools, many of our professional designers have created custom pools with our company for more than 20 years. Together we have built over 2500 swimming pools for Dayton homeowners, with over 200 return customers who have been satisfied with their custom pools. We use the knowledge from servicing thousands of properties to help you develop a custom pool design that will complement your existing outdoor decor while providing an enjoyable swimming experience.

Each team member also undergoes extensive training and certification to use the latest techniques and technology to design and build your pool efficiently. For example, during the design process, we create a detailed rendering of your property using 3D software to accurately recreate what your custom pool would look like depending on what options you choose.

Once you find the design that works best for you, our knowledgeable team makes it come to life. We take care of finer details such as soil condition and elevation changes that pose a challenge to any pool builder project. This approach ensures that your custom pool will perfectly match the look and function of the design.
