Blending into nature bringing serenity.

One of the top reasons pool lovers gravitate toward natural pool styles is because of their unparalleled aesthetics. You can create a “lake” or “grotto” feel right in your backyard.

Our natural pools are customizable.

Waterfalls, stonework, boulders, and natural vegetation are just a few features you can add to your natural pool design to make it all your own.

They’re eco-friendly and easily maintainable.

Because Bella Pools by Design offers saltwater and advanced O-Zone systems, our pools are more friendly to the environment. Saltwater systems are also easier and less expensive to maintain.

Frequently Asked Natural Pool Questions

  • What is a natural pool?

    A natural pool is designed to look and feel like a naturally occurring body of water, such as a pond, lake, or lagoon. These pools often have freeform shapes, rock formations, waterfalls, and surrounding greenery, creating a seamless, nature-inspired retreat in your backyard.

  • How are natural pools different from traditional pools?

    Natural pools are built to blend into the landscape, using freeform designs, natural materials, and eco-friendly filtration. Unlike traditional pools that rely on chlorine, natural pools often use saltwater or ozone-based purification, making them a healthier choice for both swimmers and the environment.

  • Can I add waterfalls or rock features to my natural pool?

    Absolutely! Many homeowners choose to add rock walls, waterfalls, boulders, or stone-lined edges to enhance the natural look. These features not only make the pool more visually appealing but also create a relaxing atmosphere with the soothing sound of flowing water.

  • Are natural pools better for the environment?

    Yes! Natural pools use alternative filtration systems, such as saltwater or ozone purification, which reduce the need for harsh chemicals. This makes them a more sustainable choice and a great option for those looking to minimize their environmental impact.

  • Do natural pools require a lot of maintenance?

    Natural pools are designed to be low maintenance, especially when using saltwater or ozone systems. While they still require occasional cleaning and water level adjustments, they don’t need frequent chemical treatments like traditional chlorine pools.

  • Can I heat a natural pool?

    Yes! You can extend your swimming season with heating options like solar panels, energy-efficient heat pumps, or gas heaters, all of which can be integrated into your pool’s design.

  • What materials are used to build a natural pool?

    We use high-quality materials like stone, pebbles, boulders, and natural vegetation to give your pool an organic, earthy feel. Each design is tailored to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

  • Can I customize my natural pool to look like a specific type of water feature?

    Of course! Whether you want a lagoon-style oasis, a mountain stream look, or a secluded grotto, we can design your pool to match your vision.

  • How much does a natural pool cost?

    Pricing depends on the size, materials, and features you choose, such as waterfalls or plant filtration areas. We offer personalized consultations to provide an accurate estimate based on your preferences.

  • How do I get started on a natural pool design with Bella Pools?

    We begin with a consultation to understand your vision, budget, and available space. Our team then creates a custom plan, incorporating natural materials, water features, and eco-friendly filtration options to bring your dream pool to life.
