Do I need to mark where the pool should go?
No, you never need to mark or outline anything. Just describe where you want the pool in relation to visible features in your photo. For example, 'add a rectangular pool in the center of the backyard lawn' or 'add a pool on the left side of the yard near the fence.' The AI understands spatial descriptions and places the pool automatically.
What pool types can I add?
You can visualize in-ground pools (rectangular, kidney, freeform, L-shaped), above-ground pools, infinity edge pools, lap pools, plunge pools, natural pools with rock edges, and even indoor pools. Specify the style, shape, and any features like waterfalls, spa sections, beach entries, or tanning ledges.
How do I get accurate pool dimensions?
Include specific measurements in your description: 'add a 16 by 32 foot rectangular pool' or 'add a 50-foot lap pool.' If you don't have exact dimensions, describe proportionally: 'add a medium-sized pool that takes up about half the lawn area' or 'add a small plunge pool about 10 feet across.'
Can I add pool decking and landscaping too?
Yes, describe the complete pool area in one prompt. For example: 'add a freeform pool with travertine deck, lounge chairs on the right side, and palm trees in planters.' Or 'add a rectangular pool with brick coping and grassy lawn around the perimeter.' The AI handles pool, hardscape, and landscaping together.
Will the pool look realistic for contractor quotes?
The AI generates realistic visualizations suitable for planning and initial design discussions. However, actual pool construction requires professional site surveys, soil testing, and engineering for proper grading, drainage, and utilities. Use these visualizations to communicate your vision to pool contractors, who will create detailed construction plans.
Can I visualize pools for sloped yards?
Yes, but describe how you want the pool to work with the slope. 'Add a pool with retaining wall on the downhill side' or 'add an infinity edge pool that appears to drop off with the slope' or 'add a pool leveled into the hillside with elevated deck on the high side.' The AI can show various solutions for sloped properties.
