Want to see an awesome pool and spa in a small backyard?

Pool and Spa project in Huntington Long Island. Pool is 16' x 36' in this small back yard. The was a 7' elevation change in this small yard. We pulled the pool out of the ground 16" to create a seatwall, and used large boulders and plants to hold bac the grade and soften the hard boulders. The job site was so small that we had to partially build the pool, install boulders. slide, and waterfall, and then complete the pool wall construction (see construction photos)

    Hi SheilaG- This pool had a dive boulder (to the right of the slide) and is about 8' deep.

    Not sure I would consider that a small yard, but you did lovely work. I would love to hang out back there.

    I think it is pretty small. I love the foliage that is incorporated into this design. It would be so easy to lose it all to a sea of cement when adding a pool and a hot tub to a yard of this size.

    Our client was so thrilled with his backyard he named it "B----r Island"! He also started a webpage with photos of the construction process and the fun photos of his family and friends using it.
