A revolution in modern pool design
Freeform pools were first introduced in California in the early 20th century by pool construction pioneers Philip Ilsley and Pascal Paddock. These custom freeform pools were first built into irregular shapes but soon began being constructed into naturalistic shapes and styles with specialty water elements inspired by nature. Ilsley later built a pool in the Hollywood Hills in the shape of a hepatica leaf that is known as one of the most iconic freeform swimming pools in history. Since the 1920’s, freeform swimming pools have continued to be a popular choice as they offer boundless beauty and creative design options.
Frequently Asked Freeform Pool Questions
-
What is a freeform swimming pool?
A freeform pool has a natural, flowing shape instead of straight edges. These pools can be designed to mimic a lagoon, a pond, or simply a more relaxed, organic look that blends into your landscape.
-
Why choose a freeform pool over a traditional rectangular pool?
Freeform pools offer more flexibility in design, making them a great fit for different backyard layouts. They create a more natural and inviting atmosphere and can include features like waterfalls, rock formations, and shallow beach-style entries.
-
Can a freeform pool work in a smaller or uniquely shaped yard?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of freeform pools is that they can be designed to fit almost any space. If you have an irregular or compact backyard, we can shape your pool to maximize the area while keeping it functional and beautiful.
-
What materials are used to build a freeform pool?
We use high-quality concrete to build freeform pools, giving you complete flexibility in shape and design. Natural stone, pebble finishes, and other custom materials can also be added to create a more natural, custom look.
-
Can I add features like waterfalls or tanning ledges to a freeform pool?
Absolutely! Freeform pools are fully customizable. You can add rock waterfalls, tanning ledges, swim-up bars, integrated spas, and even beach-style entries to create a unique outdoor retreat.
-
Can I get a saltwater system for my freeform pool?
Yes! We install high-quality saltwater systems that reduce the need for harsh chemicals, making the water gentler on your skin and easier to maintain.
-
How much does a freeform pool cost?
The cost varies depending on size, materials, and extra features. Since each pool is custom-built, we’ll provide a personalized quote after discussing your design ideas and property layout.

How long does it take to build a freeform pool?
Most freeform pools take 8 to 12 weeks to complete, depending on the design complexity, weather conditions, and permitting process. We’ll give you a clear timeline before construction begins.
-
Is maintenance harder for a freeform pool than a standard pool?
Not necessarily. Maintenance depends on factors like the pool’s finish, filtration system, and water treatment method. We offer saltwater systems and advanced filtration options that simplify upkeep.
-
How do I get started on my freeform pool design?
We start with a consultation to discuss your vision, space, and budget. Our team then creates a 3D rendering, so you can see exactly how your pool will look before construction begins.
