Raised Pool on Sloping Yard

The Challenge

The Challenge - A gorgeous, but severely sloping backyard. How do you build a pool when the yard isn't flat? Thats the question these homeowners opened with when they called Ashton Pools By Design to inquire if they could even get a pool in their backyard.

The Results

The Results – A raised pool that is stunning in its simplicity and lets you focus on the display that mother nature is putting on. Joe and the ladies didn’t want anything fussy. The lot was so perfect that they all were in agreement that the project could have a minimalist approach. We custom built a raised pool with stronger walls and gorgeous stone veneer on the exterior to complete the look. This pool has become our go to pool when trying to help new clients understand what we can do a sloped yard.
