Not every backyard is a blank canvas, and that’s exactly why freeform pools are so popular among Tulsa homeowners. With curves, natural contours, and custom finishes, a bespoke freeform pool offers both functionality and artistry, transforming even challenging outdoor spaces into luxurious retreats.
At Villa Del Mar Pools, we specialize in designing custom freeform pools tailored to your landscape, lifestyle, and vision. Whether you’re located in Jenks, Bixby, or Broken Arrow, this guide will walk you through the benefits, design options, and construction process of a truly custom freeform pool.
What Is a Freeform Pool?
Unlike traditional rectangular pools, freeform pools are defined by their irregular, flowing shapes. These pools often feature:
- Curved edges and asymmetrical lines
- Natural-looking finishes like stone or pebble
- Integrated waterfalls, spas, or rock features
- Flexible layouts that adapt to unique yards or slopes
Because they don’t follow a rigid shape, freeform pools offer greater design flexibility and are ideal for creating a tropical, resort-style atmosphere right at home.
See how we brought this vision to life in our Jenks-Bixby Freeform Pool Project, which includes a tanning ledge, wraparound spa, and lush landscaping.
Why Choose a Bespoke Freeform Pool?
A bespoke pool is more than custom-shaped — it’s fully personalized from the ground up. Every decision, from materials to layout, is made to match your home’s aesthetic, terrain, and usage needs.
Key benefits include:
- Seamless integration with patios, pergolas, or outdoor kitchens
- Space optimization for narrow or irregular lots
- Distinctive visual appeal and elevated property value
- Opportunities for creative landscaping and lighting
Our design team works closely with you to ensure your freeform pool reflects your personality while meeting functional goals like family use, entertainment, or low-maintenance care.
Design Elements to Consider
When planning your custom freeform pool, consider incorporating:
- Tanning ledges for shallow lounging
- Spillover spas with curved contours
- Natural stone decking for texture and warmth
- LED lighting for mood and nighttime visibility
- Waterfalls or bubblers for soothing sound and movement
