Beautiful Pools for Smaller Spaces
Small Footprint. Full Experience.
A great pool doesn't need to take over the backyard. Elevated Luxury Pools offers fully tiled inground pools, plunge pools, and spas in compact footprints designed to make more of smaller outdoor spaces.
Whether you're working with a narrow yard, courtyard, patio, established landscape, or simply want the pool to leave more room for everything else, we'll help you find a pool that fits.
A Real Pool, Sized for the Space
Small pools aren't just scaled-down versions of something bigger. Done well, they can become the center of an outdoor space without overwhelming it.
You can swim, cool off, lounge, entertain, or add a spa while preserving room for dining, landscaping, seating, and the rest of the backyard.
Our Ceramic Pool Collection includes rectangular pools beginning around 14 feet in length, along with compact Special Edition designs and plunge-pool options for spaces where every foot matters.
What Counts as a Small Pool?
There's no single size that defines a small backyard pool. The right footprint depends on the dimensions of your property, setbacks, access, surrounding outdoor spaces, and how you want to use the water.
For one home, that may mean a narrow rectangular swimming pool. For another, it's a compact plunge pool tucked beside a patio. For another, a spa may be the perfect answer.
We start with the space and work from there.
Compact Pool Options
Narrow Rectangular Pools
Clean lines and efficient proportions make rectangular pools especially useful when width is limited.
The Ceramic Pool Collection includes multiple sizes from compact to spacious, allowing us to match the pool more closely to the available space.
Plunge Pools
If lounging, cooling off, and relaxing matter more than lap swimming, a plunge pool can deliver a lot of experience in a relatively small footprint.
Select Special Edition models offer compact dimensions with the same fully tiled finish as larger pools.
Small Pool + Spa
A smaller pool doesn't mean giving up the spa.
Depending on the property, a Ceramic Spa can be paired with the pool or planned as a separate feature within the outdoor space.
Custom Small Pools
An unusual footprint may call for a pool designed specifically around it.
The Ceramic Custom Collection gives us greater flexibility when architecture, dimensions, access, or the surrounding outdoor design make a standard configuration less suitable.
Small Can Still Feel Luxurious
The difference is in the details.
Fully Tiled Finish
Ceramic tile gives even a compact pool an architectural, finished quality.
Thoughtful Proportions
The right dimensions allow the pool and surrounding outdoor space to work together.
Acrylic Options
Select designs can incorporate transparent acrylic elements that visually open up the pool and surrounding space.
Integrated Features
Depending on the model, options can include benches, steps, tanning ledges, spa features, and other ways to make every square foot work harder.
A Smart Fit for Established Backyards
Compact pools can be especially useful when you're adding a pool to a home and outdoor space that already exist.
Instead of allowing the pool to consume the entire yard, we look at how it can fit alongside patios, landscaping, entertaining spaces, walkways, and the architecture of the home.
The goal isn't to fit the biggest pool possible. It's to create the right pool for the way you want to live outside.
Why Prefabrication Works Well in Smaller Spaces
Our ceramic pools are manufactured and fully tiled before arriving at your property. For some smaller or established yards, reducing the amount of pool construction that needs to happen on site can be particularly appealing.
Access and site preparation still matter, and every property needs to be evaluated individually. We'll look at those details before recommending a pool.

Small Space Pool FAQs
Can you put an inground pool in a small backyard?
Often, yes. The right pool depends on the usable dimensions of the yard, setbacks, access, drainage, utilities, and other site conditions. Elevated offers compact inground pools and plunge-pool options specifically worth considering for smaller spaces.
What is the smallest pool you offer?
The Ceramic Pool Collection includes rectangular models beginning around 14 feet long, and our Custom Ceramic pools can be designed for even more compact footprints. The right option depends on your property and how you want to use the pool.
What is a plunge pool?
A plunge pool is a compact pool designed primarily for cooling off, lounging, relaxing, and casual use rather than long-distance swimming. It can be a strong option when space is limited.
Can a small pool still have a spa?
Yes. Depending on the property and configuration, a Ceramic Spa can be paired with a compact pool or installed separately.
Are small pools less expensive?
Not necessarily. Total project cost depends on the pool, site preparation, access, structural requirements, features, equipment, and surrounding work. A smaller footprint alone doesn't determine the total investment.
Can you customize a pool for a narrow or unusually shaped space?
Yes. If the established Ceramic Pool Collection doesn't provide the right configuration, the Ceramic Custom Collection allows us to explore a site-specific design.
Do small pools have to be fiberglass?
No. Our compact options include fully ceramic-tiled prefabricated pools, giving homeowners another option beyond conventional fiberglass or site-built concrete pools.
