Pools for Sloped Lots

Hills are an opportunity. Terraces, retaining walls and infinity edges turn a slope into a stunning backyard.

Much of Middle Tennessee is rolling, and sloped lots can make wonderful pool sites. A view over trees, a terraced layout and an infinity edge can turn a challenging site into the best feature of the property.

The key is engineering. Walls, footings, drainage and shell design need to account for slope and soil, and equipment and access must be planned early. We design the terraces and walls first, then place the pool, steps and outdoor rooms so everything feels natural.
