Meanwhile, gray brick coping surrounds the 16-by-33-foot pool and was chosen to match the deck's gray stamped concrete pattern.

Within the pool, fiber-optic underwater and perimeter lighting combine for a dramatic evening display. And a bench that takes up one end of the pool provides a spot for relaxing any time of the day.

Given these directions, Indiana Pool Co. Built this non-diving pool that has a slip-resistant concrete deck entry, as well as a slip-resistant swimout and no drop-offs within the pool. To be sure the children cannot enter the pool when unattended, a safety cover was installed.

The spa, even though often times surrounded by snow during the winter months, remains open so the owners can steam away during even coldest Midwestern weather.

But one of the favorite scenes for guests is the fiber-optic lighting at the perimeter and inside the pool and spa.

Meanwhile, two waterfall planters cascade into the pool for an enchanting special effect.

the slope of the yard toward a pond created a degree of difficulty, but even more challenging was maintaining the structural integrity of the home’s foundation. A massive retaining wall system was constructed for support.

The pool rests on 16 feet of pea gravel to allow for proper elevation. Brick coping and pavers surround the pool helping add elegance and beauty.

Where the pool rests is actually part of the home and no the landscaping. The homeincorporates two stone decks into its design, with the pool resting on the first deck.

While exhibiting at a recent home and garden show, a couple stopped by expressing interest in a pool, but they only has 12 feet of backyard space. Indiana Pool Co. was happy to oblige.

Measuring only 8 feet wide but 40 feet long, the couple now have what they desired, and then some.

With woods in their backyard, an automatic pool cover was installed to keep out debris.

In the evening, fiber-optic lighting provides a dramatic view illuminating both the pool and spa.
