Pool Features That Elevate Your Backyard Experience

Your pool should be more than just a place to cool off—it should be a destination. At Kingswood Outdoors, we specialize in custom pool construction and pool remodeling that transforms ordinary backyards into resort-style retreats. One of the most exciting parts of the process is choosing the right features to match your vision, lifestyle, and home aesthetic.

If you're ready to enhance your outdoor living experience, here are some must-have pool features that can take your backyard to the next level.

1. Tanning Ledges

Also known as Baja shelves, these shallow-water platforms offer a perfect spot for sunbathing, relaxing with a drink, or letting kids splash around safely. Tanning ledges are both stylish and practical, making them one of the most requested features in modern pool design.

2. Built-In Seating

Whether it’s a swim-up bench or a submerged stool in a swim-up bar, built-in seating enhances both comfort and entertainment value. It’s perfect for social gatherings or simply lounging without leaving the water.

3. Waterfalls and Spillover Features

Adding dynamic water features like waterfalls, fountains, or spa spillovers creates a sense of movement and luxury. These additions provide soothing sounds, boost ambiance, and serve as striking design elements.

4. LED Pool Lighting

Modern LED lighting is energy-efficient and highly customizable. Illuminate your pool in any color to match your mood, holiday theme, or evening event. Lighting also increases safety during nighttime swims.

5. Smart Pool Controls

Take full control of your pool’s lighting, temperature, and water features right from your phone. Smart automation systems simplify pool management and offer convenience with just a tap.

6. Fire Features

Integrating fire bowls or poolside fire pits adds dramatic visual appeal and warmth, perfect for evening relaxation. Fire and water features together create a luxurious and unforgettable atmosphere.

7. Glass Tile Accents

Premium glass tiles add a unique sparkle to your pool design. Whether used on waterlines, steps, or spillways, they bring a sophisticated touch and long-lasting durability.
