A Modern Geometric Backyard Retreat

This modern custom pool design in Mansfield, TX was built for homeowners who wanted more than just a place to swim — they wanted a clean, contemporary backyard retreat that felt relaxing, functional, and ready for entertaining. Like many North Texas families, they were looking for a backyard that worked as an extension of their home while staying low-maintenance and visually sharp.

At Emerald Custom Pools, we specialize in geometric pool layouts and thoughtful modern design. For the Nicholls project, that meant blending a sleek straight-line pool style with comfort features, recreation space, and landscaping that looks great year-round without constant upkeep.

The Backyard Retreat Vision

The goal was simple: create a polished, modern backyard that felt calm during the week and social on weekends. The homeowners wanted a contemporary pool design that looked high-end but still felt welcoming and practical.

They envisioned:

• A straight-line geometric pool layout

• Integrated spa comfort without bulky raised walls

• Space to lounge, gather, and play

• Clean landscaping that wouldn’t require heavy maintenance

Every feature had to feel intentional so the yard stayed open and usable.
