Online pool design, wherever you live
No site visit needed. You send photos, a short video and a design brief. We send back a complete 3D pool design.
How online pool design works
Fill out the design brief
Tell us your goals, style, budget range and timeline, plus your yard's dimensions, slopes and features.
Send photos and a video
Use our checklist to capture every corner of the yard, the house wall facing it and a slow walkthrough video.
We design in 3D
Your designer builds the pool in professional 3D software and delivers it in about one week.
Review, refine, build
Two rounds of revisions, then a final package by email you can take to any local builder.
Your design brief and photo checklist
We keep it simple. Our brief walks you through each item:
- Yard dimensions: overall width and depth, and distances from the house and property lines
- Slopes and grade: where the yard rises or falls, and any steps or walls
- Photos from each corner of the yard, plus the house wall that faces it
- A slow video walkthrough of the whole space
- Existing features: trees, patios, gates, utilities and equipment locations
- Access: how equipment could reach the backyard
- Sun and views: where the afternoon sun hits and what you want to see
- Plot plan or survey, if you have one (helpful, not required)
Why homeowners hire a designer before a builder
See it before you buy it
Realistic 3D renderings let you make decisions with confidence instead of guessing from a sketch.
Compare builder bids fairly
Every builder prices the same plan, so quotes are apples to apples.
Designed by a specialist
Ten years of pool design experience, wherever you are in the country.
Online design FAQ
Which states do you work in?
Design is delivered digitally, so we work with homeowners anywhere in the United States. Your local licensed builder handles permits, engineering and construction where you live.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That's okay. Rough measurements and good photos are enough to design from, and your builder confirms exact dimensions on site before construction.
How do I send large videos?
Share a Google Drive, Dropbox or iCloud link in the form, or email info@a3outdoor.com after you submit.
