As homeowners in Howard County and the surrounding areas increasingly view their outdoor spaces as extensions of their living areas, the desire to transform a standard backyard into a personal oasis has never been stronger. A custom pool is the ultimate centerpiece, offering a stunning focal point that provides respite from the heat while exuding sophistication and style. At Absolute Landscapes, we make the process of this pool transformation seamless by providing clients with a single point of contact throughout the entire journey. Your custom pool design will be tailored specifically to your desires and property, creating a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Elevate Your Oasis with Custom Pool Features
A custom pool is a blank canvas. What truly sets a luxury pool apart are the bespoke features that reflect your personal style and enhance your outdoor experience. Our design team specializes in integrating these elements to create a cohesive and breathtaking environment.
- Innovative Design Elements: Move beyond the traditional rectangle with stunning geometric shapes, sleek infinity edges that blend seamlessly with the horizon, or elegant reflective surfaces that mirror the sky. These designs not only add visual interest but also contribute to the overall ambiance of your outdoor space.
- Premium Materials: The materials you choose are crucial for a sophisticated look. We work with a wide range of high-end options, including natural stone like travertine and flagstone, exotic tiles for a touch of color, and other high-quality finishes that ensure durability and timeless appeal.
- Sensory-Rich Water Features: Imagine the soothing sound of a cascading waterfall, the gentle bubbling of a fountain, or the modern aesthetic of an intricate water wall. These elements create a sensory-rich experience, turning your pool into a true personal oasis.
- Advanced Smart Systems: Modern luxury is about effortless control. We integrate smart pool systems that offer unparalleled command over features like water temperature, LED lighting, and even water chemistry, all from your smartphone or tablet.
A Holistic Approach: Integrating Your Pool with the Landscape
Many pool builders offer standard sizes and layouts, often overlooking the most critical element: the surrounding landscape. At Absolute Landscapes, we are more than just a custom pool builder; we are comprehensive outdoor living designers. We take a holistic approach to your custom pool design, ensuring it integrates perfectly with the rest of your property.
Our expertise extends to designing and building the entire poolside environment, including:

- Cabanas and Pavilions: Add a touch of resort-style luxury with a shaded structure for lounging or entertaining.
- Outdoor Kitchens and Fire Pits: Extend your living space with areas for cooking, dining, and gathering with family and friends. You can learn more about creating the perfect outdoor space from industry leaders like the National Association of Landscape Professionals.
- Landscape Lighting: Illuminate your oasis for nighttime beauty and safety with a professionally designed lighting system.
This integrated approach ensures a harmonious flow from your home to your pool and throughout your entire yard, creating a unified and stunning outdoor retreat.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does a custom pool installation take? The timeline for a custom pool project can vary depending on the complexity of the design, permitting, and weather. Generally, the process can take anywhere from 8 to 16 weeks from excavation to the final touches. We provide a detailed timeline during the design phase.
2. What materials are best for a pool deck in Maryland? We often recommend pavers or natural stone for pool decks in the Maryland climate.
