FAMILY POOLS
Marino Landscape Design family pools can include family friendly features, including, pool slides, water slides, a waterfall, bubblers, illuminated LED lighting, shallow play or level bottoms, safety cover, and a diving board.
LAP POOLS
The homeowner wanting a pool primarily for fitness purposes, can consider a lap pool. Lap pools are specifically designed for swimming laps and are long, narrow, and usually rectangular in shape.
Lap Pools require minimal space, making them perfect for small yards. Most lap pools provide at least 40 feet of straight swimming space, reducing the need for frequent turns. For a single swimmer, the width of a lap pool can be as small as 8 feet. The construction process for lap pools is similar to that of other in-ground pools.

Whether you prefer to call them natural pools, eco pools, organic pools, pool-ponds, swimming ponds, swimming holes, or NSP's, our pond pools provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chlorine/salt pools. Coupled with strategically placed lighting, the natural pool will be a standout feature in your outdoor living space.
ABOVE GROUND OR IN GROUND POOLS
Above Ground -Typically, above-ground pools are the most cost-effective choice. They are placed on the ground surface of the backyard and may have a deck or patio around them. These pools are usually made with aluminum, resin, or steel sidings and have vinyl liners. You can also find above-ground pools with patterned walls.
Above ground pools are the perfect solution for homeowners who face challenging topography. Whether the home is on a hill or has rocky ground, these pools offer a great option.
Above ground allow the homeowners to incorporate the design into a kitchen, fire feature and seating area. With their durability and versatility, you can be confident that an above ground pool will provide you with years of enjoyment.
​
In Ground Pool - Are the types of pools that are permanent structures built directly into the landscape. They come in several varieties, with concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl-liners being the most common types.Materials are typically chosen for strength and flexibility.
SWIM SPAS OR HOT TUBS & SPAS
Swim Spas - Are a unique pool option for fitness. They combine a pool and a spa, with water jets that create a current for swimming in place. Perfect for small spaces, some swim spas are as small as 12 feet. Since the swimmer stays in one spot, the pool size can be compact. Additionally, swim spas can be heated for both swimming and relaxing in a spa.
​
Hot Tubs & Spas - Are small pools with heating for relaxation or hydrotherapy. The portable, above-ground type is usually called a hot tub, while a home spa refers to an in-ground model, often built with an in-ground pool. Due to their smaller size, hot tubs and spas are usually cheaper to install and upkeep compared to other pools. However, their compact size also limits their usage.
