In 2025, outdoor spaces are becoming an extension of the home, just as stylish, cozy and inviting as indoor areas. More people are looking for ways to improve their pool patios, turning them into the perfect spot for gathering with family and friends. A designed patio can make all the difference for a fun BBQ event, a lively party or a relaxed evening under the stars.
Imagine hosting a summer cookout, with twinkling string lights setting the mood, comfy seating for guests to lounge and a beautifully designed patio that brings it all together. From modern fire pits to lush greenery and stylish furniture, this year’s pool patio trends are all about making your outdoor space both functional and fabulous.
At Acker-Stone, we manufacture custom pavers that bring style and durability to patios and pools across California and Arizona. Here are some of the best ways to create a poolside patio that feels like an extension of your dream home.
The Acker-Stone Edge
At Acker-Stone, we provide UMBRIANO Stones with a patented, 360-degree integral sealing process, Acker-Lock Plus, that protects and shields against ground moisture, reduces efflorescence, decreases everyday surface stains, and is easy to clean. This is ideal for pool paver patios, since the UMBRIANO Stones bring quality and long-lasting durability to patio pavements.
An infinity pool is your best bet when you are seeking a sleek and simple look. Lining up the border of the pool with glass, acrylic, or thin tiles will give you that splendid appearance you are looking for. Adding fundamental pieces of furniture and decoration will give off minimalistic vibes. This is perfect for spending quality time with your significant other! In the picture above, the infinity pool is a perfect addition to the patio because it highlights the spectacular backdrop of the Sierra Nevada without too many distractions.
If you want to host a wide variety of guests, but find traditional pool designs to be redundant, a modern pool with tropical accents might be what you're searching for. For these types of installations, decoration is key. Start with palm trees and other faux vegetation. Add LED lighting designs within and around the pool. Also include water features like jet decks or fountains that enhance the tropical setting. A separate jacuzzi annexation might be key to unlocking that tropical paradise of your dreams. If your budget permits it, consider adding a pergola or cabana installation to bring out the resort-like nature of your outdoor area.
Whether you are constrained by a tighter budget, or are simply looking for a more humble backyard, try a variety of traditional and generic designs. Sometimes, simple is key. Consider adding artificial grass along the pavement, and ditch more complicated features. Add simple LED lighting and inexpensive vegetation around the pool to complete the look. By allocating resources and expenses properly, you can still create a lovely pool without all the extravaganza.
Key-Takeaways:
- Discuss an ideal budget for your new backyard getaway. Pavements, pool renovations, city codes and inspections, and the timeframe of remodeling should all be taken into consideration when upgrading your patio and pool.
- Use your inspirations and feel the vibe for your pool design, based on your desires and needs.
- LED lighting and water features can turn an ordinary pool into your special oasis.
- Build your backyard by taking advantage of your surroundings.
