Having a swimming pool in your backyard is a wonderful luxury for many people. A pool in the backyard brings the fun in the sun to you. One of the biggest downsides to having a pool however is the amount of cleaning they require and the many chemicals that can stain your clothes, your hair, and burn your eyes. One of the best alternatives available for this problem is to opt for a natural swimming pool. Providing the elegant aesthetics while giving you a top of the line swimming pool, a natural pool is a great way to get your recreation and help the environment at the same time.

One of the biggest points of concerns from those installing a pool in their backyard is that a natural pool will cost them much more than a traditional swimming pool would. This isn't necessarily true however, as the construction per square foot is typically the same for both. Natural pools usually take up more space however, which can in turn run the cost up a bit. While maintenance may seem more of a hassle for a natural pool as well, but the maintenance is completely different, as you are focused more about the vegetation being supported by the pool, rather than focusing on cleaning the chemicals on a daily basis.

From the surrounding areas, to the bottom of the pool itself, there are many design elements in play when it comes to a natural pool. A deck is an outstanding addition to any addition to any natural pool, and can act as a barrier between the pool and the natural ecosystem going on as the water can run underneath it. Other landscaping options such as a natural bottom of the pool with rocks and vegetation, or a modern finish that you would find in a traditional pool are all excellent choices. Maintenance on these pools is also very unique as the entire space works as a self cleaning ecosystem, keeping your pool clean and healthy.

Aesthetically, a natural swimming pool is one of the best options you can have for backdoor landscaping and design. The crystal clear water surrounded by a natural outdoors feel gives you the sense of a relaxing getaway, rather than just a short trip to your backyard. With a glass like surface, your pool will look crystal clear and in perfect condition at all times.

If you are installing a pool in your backyard, consider a natural pool over a chemically rich traditional one. With easier cleaning and better aesthetics, you are bound to enjoy everything about it.
