May 2025 pool of the month winner: celebrating excellence in backyard transformation

While the backyard wasn’t particularly expansive, the experienced team at AquaPools of Texas turned what could have been a limitation into an opportunity for creative excellence. The installation required bringing the pool through via the neighbor’s driveway.

The AquaPools team—specialists in inground fiberglass pools since 1997—masterfully maximized every square inch while gracefully working around existing features including a previously installed spa and composite deck. This thoughtful approach ensured the new pool didn’t just fit into the space. Instead, it elevated the entire backyard experience.

This family-focused pool installation is practically bursting with premium features designed to create year-round backyard bliss:

• Heating and Chilled System: Because perfect water temperature shouldn’t be seasonal
• Saltwater Chlorination: Gentle, effective and oh-so-luxurious water treatment
• LED Lighting: Transform evening swims into magical experiences
• Colorful Perimeter Tile Work: Artistic flair that makes every glance a delight
• Stunning Pavers: Elegant hardscaping that frames the pool like a work of art

Further, this backyard also features lush artificial turf that flows seamlessly alongside the pool, creating a picture-perfect border that’s as beautiful as it is practical.

What captivated Aviva Pools about this project was how AquaPools of Texas created perfect harmony with the existing landscape. The previously installed iron retaining walls and established landscaping remained beautifully intact, proving that exceptional pool installation is about enhancement, not replacement. It’s design philosophy at its finest working with what’s already wonderful to create something truly extraordinary.
