Outdoor Oasis Pools

A pool should be more than a place to cool off—it should feel like a retreat, right in your own backyard.

When you think about how you want to spend your summer days—or how you want to entertain your friends and family—it often comes back to one thing: a space that’s comfortable, beautiful, and built around how you live. At ALD, we build custom outdoor oasis pools designed to turn your backyard into a private getaway.

Whether you want to keep things simple with a sleek, modern pool or create a full resort-style space with water features, lighting, and a surrounding patio, we help you design it, build it, and enjoy it—all in one seamless process.

What Is an Outdoor Oasis Pool?

An outdoor oasis pool isn’t just a traditional swimming pool. It’s a fully integrated space designed to combine relaxation, recreation, and style. You can customize these pools to reflect your personal tastes and the unique architecture of your home, making them more than just a place to swim. With options to include features like waterfalls, fire pits, or an infinity edge that seems to blend seamlessly into the horizon, they provide a stunning focal point that transforms your backyard into a luxurious retreat.

As you consider your ideal outdoor space, envision a pool that invites relaxation while also elevating the overall design of your property, ensuring it complements not just your lifestyle but also the beauty of your surroundings. After all, it’s not just about having a pool—it’s about creating a space that beckons you outside, day after day.

Custom Outdoor Pool Projects Designed and Built by ALD

We’ve worked with clients all across Minnesota to bring their outdoor pool ideas to life. Here are a few examples of the types of projects we’ve completed:

Natural-style pool with a rock waterfall, boulder edging, and surrounding landscaping for a more organic look.
Infinity-edge pool built into a sloped yard, with custom retaining walls and a multilevel patio design.
Pool with a tanning ledge and fire feature, designed for both lounging and entertaining in one space.
Full backyard renovation where the pool is the centerpiece, supported by custom pavers, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens.

Every pool we create is uniquely designed for functionality and aesthetics, seamlessly blending with your yard. We believe in tailored solutions, not cookie-cutter designs.

What Can Go Wrong Without the Right Pool Builder?

Choosing the wrong pool builder can lead to serious issues, especially when multiple contractors are involved. Here’s what you could face:

Drainage issues that lead to cracking or shifting of the pool shell.
Poor coordination between pool, patio, and grading crews, resulting in uneven finishes or structural flaws.
Delays and budget overruns from unclear timelines or bad planning.
Non-compliance with city codes, leading to legal or resale problems down the road.
Shortcuts on base prep, resulting in settling and long-term damage.

Building an outdoor pool is a significant investment, and you deserve peace of mind about its quality. We manage the entire project, ensuring everything from the initial design to the final touches is done right.

How We Design and Build Outdoor Oasis Pools

Installing an outdoor oasis pool is a rewarding project that blends planning, design, and expertise. Here’s our streamlined process from start to finish:

1. Consultation and Property Evaluation

We start with a site visit to understand your space, soil conditions, elevation changes, sun exposure, and how you want to use the pool.

2. Design and Layout

We work closely with you to design a custom pool layout that fits your yard and lifestyle. We also plan surrounding elements like patios, privacy walls, steps, and lighting.

3. Permitting and Planning

Pools require detailed permitting and engineering. We handle that process for you, ensuring compliance with all local codes and regulations.

4. Excavation and Shell Construction

Once approved, we dig and install the pool shell, ensuring everything is set to exact specs, from plumbing and drainage to structural supports.

5. Finish Work and Surrounding Features

We install finishes like tile, coping, and pool decks, along with lighting, water features, and anything else included in your build.

6. Final Inspection and Walkthrough

After installation, we inspect every detail, test all systems, and walk you through care and maintenance so your pool is ready to use.
