An outdoor pool is one of the most rewarding investments you can make in your home and lifestyle. Beyond the obvious enjoyment of swimming and relaxation, a professionally designed pool delivers lasting value to your property and well-being.

• Increased Property Value | A custom in-ground pool with a well-designed deck can increase your home’s market value by 5–8%, making it a smart long-term investment for Minnesota homeowners.
• Health & Wellness | Swimming is a low-impact, full-body workout that improves cardiovascular health, builds endurance, and reduces stress — right in your own backyard.
• Family Entertainment | Create a gathering space where family and friends come together for barbecues, pool parties, and summer celebrations without leaving home.
• Private Retreat | Transform your backyard into a resort-style escape with integrated landscaping, water features, fire elements, and comfortable pool deck lounging areas.
• Extended Outdoor Season | With heated pool options and integrated hot tubs, you can enjoy your outdoor living space from early spring through late fall in Minnesota.
• Custom Design | Every pool is tailored to your property’s terrain, your family’s needs, and your aesthetic preferences — from geometric modern designs to freeform natural lagoons.

Your pool deck is just as important as the pool itself — it defines the look, feel, and functionality of your entire outdoor pool area. Landscapes Unlimited offers a range of pool deck materials, each engineered for safety, durability, and style in Minnesota’s climate.

• Poured Concrete | The most popular and cost-effective pool deck option. Poured concrete offers a clean, versatile surface that can be broom-finished for slip resistance or polished for a modern aesthetic. Durable and long-lasting in freeze-thaw conditions.
• Stamped Concrete | Achieve the look of natural stone, brick, or slate at a fraction of the cost. Stamped concrete pool decks offer unlimited pattern and color combinations with excellent durability and low maintenance requirements.
• Natural Stone Pavers | Premium pool deck surfaces including travertine, bluestone, and flagstone deliver unmatched elegance. Natural stone stays cooler underfoot in direct sunlight and adds timeless character to your pool environment.
• Maintenance-Free Composite Decking | Composite decking materials resist fading, staining, mold, and moisture damage — ideal for pool surrounds where water exposure is constant. No sanding, staining, or sealing required.
• Concrete Pavers | Interlocking concrete pavers combine strength and design flexibility. Available in dozens of shapes, colors, and textures, they are easy to repair and offer excellent drainage when properly installed.

Landscapes Unlimited manages every phase of your outdoor pool project from initial consultation through final landscaping. Our process ensures a seamless experience with no surprises.

• Consultation & Design | We meet on-site to discuss your vision, assess your property’s grading, soil conditions, and utilities, then create a detailed 3D design of your custom pool and deck layout.
• Permitting & Engineering | Our team handles all local permits, HOA approvals, and engineering requirements so you don’t have to navigate the process alone.
• Excavation & Shell | Precision excavation followed by the installation of your pool shell — whether gunite, fiberglass, or vinyl liner — built to exacting structural standards.
• Deck & Surround | Your chosen pool deck material is installed with proper drainage slopes, expansion joints, and frost-depth footings to withstand Minnesota’s climate.
• Landscaping & Finishing | Integrated plantings, outdoor lighting, fencing, and any additional features like fire pits or outdoor kitchens complete your backyard transformation.

Owning an outdoor pool in Minnesota requires seasonal attention to protect your investment and ensure safe, clean water all summer long.

• Spring Opening | Remove winter cover, inspect equipment, balance water chemistry, clean filters, and prepare your pool for the swimming season.
• Weekly Maintenance | Skim debris, vacuum the pool floor, test and adjust chemical levels, clean skimmer baskets, and inspect pump and filtration systems.
• Deck Care | Power wash concrete or stone decks annually, reseal stamped concrete every 2–3 years, and inspect composite decking for fastener integrity.
• Fall Winterization | Lower water levels, blow out plumbing lines, add winterizing chemicals, install a safety cover, and protect exposed equipment from freezing temperatures.
• Equipment Checks | Regular inspection of pumps, heaters, filters, and automated chlorination systems prevents costly repairs and extends the life of your pool.
