Inground Pools

An inground pool is a permanent addition to your outdoor space, so its design should account for both the pool and the surrounding property. For Central Indiana homeowners, factors such as grading, drainage, available yard space, and how the pool will connect with patios, landscaping, and other outdoor areas can all influence the design.

Spectrum Landscape Services provides custom inground pool design and installation, helping homeowners select the right pool type and plan its placement, dimensions, layout, and features. We can also coordinate coping, decking, lighting, landscaping, and surrounding outdoor living areas to create a complete poolscape designed around the property.

Fiberglass and Vinyl Liner Inground Pools

Spectrum Landscape Services installs both fiberglass and vinyl liner inground pools, giving homeowners options based on their property, design priorities, budget, and maintenance preferences.

Fiberglass Pools feature a factory-manufactured shell that provides consistent construction quality, a smooth finished surface, and a relatively quick installation process compared with many traditional pool types. They are a practical choice for homeowners who prioritize predictable installation and lower ongoing maintenance.

Liner Pools use a vinyl liner over a constructed pool structure, providing flexibility in pool dimensions, layout, steps, and interior appearance. They can be an attractive option for homeowners seeking greater design flexibility while keeping the initial investment more manageable.

Inground Pool Design Ideas

Designing an inground pool opens a range of possibilities for creating a functional outdoor space tailored to the property and the way you plan to use it. Some inground pool design ideas include:

Infinity Edge Pool – Also known as a vanishing-edge pool, this design creates the visual effect of water extending toward the horizon. It can be particularly effective on properties with elevation changes or scenic views.
Naturalistic Pool – Rocks, waterfalls, landscaping, and organic forms can give an inground pool the appearance of a natural pond or lagoon while helping it blend into the surrounding landscape.
Geometric Shapes – Rectangular, square, and L-shaped pools create clean lines and defined edges. Geometric layouts can complement both contemporary properties and more traditional outdoor spaces.
Freeform Pool – Irregular shapes and organic curves create a softer, more natural appearance. A freeform layout can also help the pool respond to existing landscape features or an unconventional backyard configuration.
Spa Integration – An integrated spa or hot tub can be incorporated into the overall pool layout, with options such as elevated spa walls, spillovers, or connecting water features creating a transition between the two areas.
Sun Shelf or Tanning Ledge – A shallow shelf provides an area for in-water lounging and can also create a convenient transition into the deeper portions of the pool.

Comprehensive Inground Pool and Surround Installations

A successful inground pool project starts with choosing the right location on the property. We consider available yard space, the desired size and shape of the pool, circulation around the pool area, existing landscape conditions, and the access required for installation. These factors help determine a layout that works for both construction and long-term use.

The pool surround is planned alongside the pool itself. Coping defines and finishes the pool edge, while decking or adjoining patio areas provide space for walking, seating, and everyday pool use. Materials and layouts can be selected to complement the pool design, the home, and other existing or planned hardscape features.

Lighting can be incorporated into the pool and surrounding areas to improve visibility and extend use after dark. Smart pool controls can also provide convenient management of functions such as lighting, heating, and water circulation, depending on the equipment selected for the project.

Spas, waterfalls, and other water features can be integrated during the design process so their placement and operation work naturally with the pool. Planning these elements early also allows the necessary space, utilities, and surrounding surfaces to be considered before construction begins.

For homeowners creating a larger backyard destination, Spectrum can also design and build areas for dining, lounging, and entertaining near the pool. Patios, seating areas, pergolas, cabanas, and outdoor kitchens can be incorporated to support how the space will be used beyond swimming.
