What are the best lagoon pool shapes?
A lagoon shaped pool is typically a freeform pool with lots of curves. Linear pools like square, Roman end, or rectangular pools would not make good lagoon pools as they are supposed to mimic the curving shapes of natural ponds and lagoons.
Lagoon pools are a cool design concept. They are freeform pools that mimic a natural body of water, and are typically surrounded by a lot of natural landscaping and stone to resemble a tropical paradise.
Most lagoon-style pools have a natural plaster color, like blue, teal, green, or sand, to resemble a swimming hole in the middle of nature.
Let's cover the main pros and cons of building a lagoon pool, lagoon pool types, some of my favorite lagoon pool design ideas, and finish up with some considerations during the construction process.
Let’s get started.
Main Benefits
Lagoon swimming pools have a bunch of great advantages, mostly aesthetics.
Beautiful Design
The lagoon style of pool is such a beautiful design if you like the tropical theme in your backyard. These pools are typically pretty extravagant as well, with many including features like large landscaping rocks, big trees and shrubs, grottos, rock slides, and lots of other features.
Natural Privacy
Lagoon pools typically have a lot of landscaping directly around the edge of the pool. If you don’t have a ton of coverage between you and your neighbor’s yard, this pool style can be a natural privacy feature for you, your family, and guests.
Very Unique
Almost no two lagoon pools are the same. These are typically very custom construction jobs, so you can create something really unique that stands out from other freeform pools and reflects your environment and personality.
Watch Outs
Most of the disadvantages of lagoon pools are associated with cost. Typically, this style of pool comes with a lot more landscaping, water features, a bigger pool size, and other elements that increase the initial construction cost and ongoing maintenance cost. Lagoon pools typically start around $200,000 and can cost upwards of $1,000,000 with several intricate design features.
