This Fredericksburg pool has an elongated rectangular shape, a long raised wall, and shallow entry steps. A quarry-stone surround and waterfall-style ports are also described for the project.

The pool sits beside a white pavilion, creating a defined backyard setting around the water.

Raised wall and shallow entry

The wall runs along the pool, while the steps provide a shallow entry area.

Planning a similar backyard

• Consider pool proportions, entry steps, and raised walls in the yard layout.
• Coordinate the pool surround and adjacent outdoor areas with circulation and access.
• Review grade and water-feature placement as part of the design.
