For this Kissimmee homeowner, the goal was to create a private backyard pool that combined clean design with everyday usability. Rather than simply adding a place to swim, the project centered on shaping an outdoor space that felt intentional, visually engaging, and easy to enjoy year-round in Central Florida’s climate.
The homeowner selected Artesian Pools to design and build a custom inground gunite swimming pool that would fit comfortably within the property while still making a strong visual statement. Through careful planning and layout decisions, the project delivered a pool that blends movement, texture, and function into a compact yet engaging design.

Shaping a Backyard Pool with a Strong Visual Focus
From the outset, the homeowner wanted a pool that offered more than a simple rectangle of water. The design needed to introduce visual interest while still maintaining a layout that felt natural within the surrounding yard.
A key feature of this project is the integrated trough-and-spillway fountain, which introduces continuous movement and sound into the pool environment.
The team finished the pool interior with a mini pebble surface, selected for its refined appearance and textured water appearance.
Integrating the Deck and Circulation Space
Around the pool, the project included a travertine deck to create a clear and cohesive transition between the water and the rest of the backyard.
The deck layout was designed to support everyday use, whether that means casual relaxation, hosting guests, or simply moving through the space comfortably during daily routines.
From Permits to Pool School
This project included more than just the physical installation of the pool itself. Artesian Pools managed the full scope of the build, from permitting through construction and final inspections.
After completing the build and passing inspections, the team conducted the final fire-up and provided a full pool school for the homeowner.
A Backyard Designed for Everyday Enjoyment
Today, the finished pool serves as a central feature of the Kissimmee backyard. The combination of the spillway fountain, mini pebble interior, and travertine deck creates a space that feels visually distinctive while remaining easy to use.
Whether used for quiet swims, cooling off on warm afternoons, or spending time with family and friends, the pool now functions as a natural extension of the home’s living space.
