A great pool starts with a great design. At Desert Tropics Custom Pools, we work closely with homeowners to create custom pool designs that fit their property, lifestyle, and budget. Our design process takes into account your outdoor space, your planned use of the pool, and the features that matter most to you. From the initial concept to detailed construction plans, we handle every step so you know exactly what to expect before the first shovel hits the ground.

Pool design is the planning and visualization phase that happens before any construction begins. It's where ideas become detailed, buildable plans. During this phase, we evaluate your property, discuss your goals, and develop a layout that maximizes your space while delivering the look and functionality you want. A well-thought-out design prevents costly changes during construction and ensures the finished pool meets your expectations.
Common Design Elements:
Investing in professional pool design saves time, money, and frustration down the road. When every detail is planned upfront, construction runs smoother, and the finished pool delivers exactly what you envisioned. Good design also maximizes your available space, ensures proper functionality, and creates a pool that works for your specific needs.


At Desert Tropics Custom Pools, we follow a collaborative, step-by-step design process that keeps you involved and informed from the first conversation to the final plans.

The design process typically takes two to four weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and how quickly decisions are made. We work efficiently while making sure every detail is right before moving to construction.
Design costs vary based on the scope and complexity of the project. In many cases, design fees are included as part of a full construction contract. Contact us for a consultation to discuss your project and get a clear understanding of costs.
Yes. We provide 3D renderings that show exactly what your pool will look like, including finishes, features, and how it fits into your backyard. This helps you make confident decisions before construction begins.
We'll ask about your goals, how you plan to use the pool, any features you want, and your budget range. We'll also need access to your property for measurements and site evaluation. The more you share, the better we can tailor the design to your needs.
Absolutely. The design phase is the best time to make changes, which is why we build in review points throughout the process. Adjustments made during design are much easier and less costly than changes made during construction.
