2025 Backyard Pool Design Trends in Middle Tennessee

Backyard pools aren’t just for swimming—they’re the centerpiece of outdoor living. As we head into 2025, Tennessee homeowners are looking for stylish, functional, and eco-friendly pool designs that transform backyards into resort-style escapes.

Here are the top pool design trends we’re seeing in Franklin and beyond.

1. Naturalistic Poolscapes

Organic shapes, stone finishes, and lush landscaping are becoming popular for homeowners who want pools that blend into their natural surroundings. Think waterfalls, rock grottos, and lagoon-style layouts.

2. Tanning Ledges & Baja Shelves

Perfect for relaxing with a lounge chair or watching kids play in shallow water, tanning ledges are one of the most requested features in 2025 pool designs.

3. Fire & Water Features

The combination of fire bowls, cascading waterfalls, or LED-lit fountains creates a dramatic backyard experience. These features are not only beautiful but also add warmth and ambiance during cooler evenings.

4. Smart Pool Technology

From app-controlled lighting to automated cleaning systems, smart pools make maintenance easier and give you more time to enjoy your backyard retreat.

5. Eco-Friendly Options

Energy-efficient pumps, LED lights, and solar heating systems are helping homeowners cut costs while going green.
