A pool in a small garden: here is how it works

You have probably told yourself this before: a pool is for large villa gardens, not for the patch of green behind your terraced house. But picture it anyway: the garden door open in the evening, bare feet on a warm terrace, and there it is, your own piece of water. That image is closer than you think, even in a compact garden.

Tailor-made as a starting point

At Plons we do not start with a standard size from a catalogue, but with your garden: the space available, the access, the sunlight, and above all how you want to experience your pool. Every tailor-made pool we design fits what is really there, rather than a pool we force into place. It is precisely that tailored approach that makes a small pool in a city garden feasible, even where you would not expect it at first sight.

Installation with limited access

Narrow gate, no passage along the house? No problem: we gracefully lift a compact monoblock shell over the roof with a tower crane. No weeks of construction traffic, no broken-up driveway, no grumpy neighbours. In most cases you have your toes in the water within a week of the start.

Pool and terrace as one whole

The real craftsmanship in a small garden lies in the transition: pool, terrace and greenery should not sit next to each other, they should flow into one another. By aligning lines, materials and heights, your city garden looks like one considered story instead of three separate pieces.

The result: a garden that feels bigger

Large shallow lounge area and a big built-in bench

Because we build everything tailor-made, we can offer a larger shallow lounge area than standard. That wide, shallow ledge is ideal for little ones to play on safely, while the big built-in bench is the perfect spot for parents to relax in the water.

A well-placed pool does not shrink your garden, it gives it a reason to exist. It becomes the place you walk outside for, where you linger in the evening with a glass in hand. Small on paper, big in feeling, and found in gardens all across West and East Flanders.
