What Is a Lagoon Pool?
A lagoon pool has a freeform design that’s supposed to resemble a naturally occurring body of water, such as a lake. Lagoon pools also have features that help them blend with the outdoors, such as decorative rock waterfalls and fire pits or bowls.
The design of a lagoon pool can create a sense of privacy and seclusion in your yard. Enjoy your own personal retreat without leaving home.
Why Choose a Freeform or Lagoon Pool?
Many homeowners choose this pool style to create a unique and relaxing outdoor space. This is mostly due to the fact that natural features are generally more appealing.
Often, landscaping details are part of a lagoon pool’s design, enhancing privacy around the pool. If you want a place to unwind in the water, a lagoon pool may be perfect for you.
Freeform pools are often a great choice for homeowners who want a truly custom and unique feature in their yard. No two lagoon pools are the same. Yours can reflect your personality and tastes thanks to its details and amenities.
Design Your Residential Lagoon Swimming Pool
Lagoon pools are like snowflakes because no two are ever the same. Van Kirk Pools can help you create a truly customized and unique freeform pool that fits your yard perfectly. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you start designing your swimming pool.
Pool Shape
A lagoon pool has a freeform shape rather than a rectangular or circular form. You can try drawing shapes to see what setup appeals most to you. Our design experts can help you choose a style that will work in your yard and create a relaxing pool area.
Pool Features
The features surrounding your pool transform it from a basic freeform swimming pool to a luxurious lagoon. The features you choose for your pool’s design are up to you, but some of the more popular options include:
- Rocks Waterfalls: Rock features are a great way to add visual interest to your pool, making for an excellent place to sit and relax with your feet in the water. Add the soothing sounds of nature to your lagoon pool by incorporating a rock waterfall into your design.
- Landscaping: If you want to make your pool area a private retreat, consider installing greenery around the perimeter.
- Lazy river: A lazy river enhances the luxury of your lagoon pool, creating a place where you can drift and watch your cares float away.
- Beach Entry: A beach entrance, or zero-entry pool, is a popular feature in lagoon-style swimming pools, as it mimics the gradual descent of natural bodies of water.

Frequently Asked Questions: Lagoon & Freeform Style Pools
What makes a lagoon pool different from other types of swimming pools?
Lagoon pools mimic the shape and feel of a natural body of water. Characteristics typically include curved edges and sometimes waterfalls or rocks, and visually appealing landscaping. Unlike geometric pools that rely on straight lines, freeform style ones are perfect if you want your backyard to feel like something from an island paradise.
Are lagoon pools customizable to fit small or irregularly shaped yards?
Absolutely. Lagoon swimming pools are adaptable. Unlike traditional pools that require specific dimensions and shapes, freeform designs can be built around existing landscape features (trees, slopes, etc.), turning unique characteristics into stunning focal points. As a result, lagoon swimming pools are also fit for smaller or tight areas in the backyard.
What features should I include in my lagoon-style pool to enhance its natural look?
How do I maintain a lagoon pool compared to a traditional pool?
While maintenance routines for lagoon pools are similar to other inground pools, the added features like rocks and waterfalls may require occasional cleaning and inspection for debris buildup or algae. Installing an efficient filtration system and using a pool cover can help keep maintenance manageable.
Are freeform pools more expensive to build than rectangular pools?
The overall cost is dependent upon several factors, such as the intricacy of the pool's design and any additional features chosen. With freeform pools, their unique curves and ability to add special touches may require more materials and labor per square foot, but these designs are so adaptable that it’s easy to find a combination that will look fabulous in your backyard, within a variety of budgets.
Can I combine a lagoon pool with a hot tub or spa?
Absolutely. Rather than standing out, these spas blend in with the natural design of the pool area– sometimes they’re even hidden or surrounded by rocks. Such additions offer a touch of luxury and usefulness, providing a place to unwind that you can use, whatever the season.
What kind of landscaping works best around a lagoon pool?
Tropical plants, such as palms, ferns, and ornamental grasses, are all popular landscaping choices for a lagoon-style pool. Using native Florida plants will elevate the landscape with a lush look, with less hassle. Consider adding paths, accent lights, or rock features around the pool, transforming the space into a backyard oasis.
