Every dream backyard starts the same way — with a homeowner imagining something more.
More gathering. More relaxation. More time outside. More moments together.
For this Middle Tennessee family, that vision became a stunning, modern retreat designed around clean lines, rich textures, and timeless finishes. With guidance from Kevin Sparks Signature Pools, their backyard was transformed into a space that feels like a private resort — right at home.
Let’s take a closer look at the elements that brought this project to life.
The Centerpiece: The Wave 30’ by Leisure Pools in Graphite Grey
At the heart of this design is The Wave 30’, a sleek fiberglass pool known for its flowing curves and built-in features that blend beauty with functionality.
Finished in Graphite Grey, the water takes on a rich, sophisticated tone — reflecting the sky by day and glowing dramatically in the evening light. This deeper finish creates a modern aesthetic that feels elevated and luxurious without being flashy.
The Wave 30’ offers:
- A generous swim lane
- Wide entry steps for easy access
- A built-in bench for lounging and conversation
- Clean lines that complement contemporary homes
For this homeowner, it wasn’t just about adding a pool — it was about choosing a design that fit their lifestyle. A space for morning coffee by the water. Afternoons with the family. Evenings entertaining friends.
The result? A pool that feels intentional — not added on, but integrated beautifully into the backyard.
Refined Edges: Techo-Bloc Coping in Shale Grey
A pool’s edge frames the entire design, and in this project, the choice of Techo Bloc coping in Shale Grey adds subtle texture and contrast.
The cool-toned grey pairs perfectly with the Graphite Grey pool finish, creating a cohesive color palette that feels both modern and timeless.
Beyond aesthetics, this coping provides:
- Durability suited for Tennessee’s seasonal changes
- A slip-resistant surface
- Clean architectural definition
It’s these details that elevate a backyard from standard to signature.
A Statement Feature: Centurion Stone Waterfall Wall in Hackett Tulsa with Raffinato Cap in Champlain Grey
Every standout backyard needs a focal point — and in this design, the waterfall wall delivers.
Crafted with Centurion Stone in Hackett Tulsa, the wall introduces warmth and texture. The natural stone tones contrast beautifully against the cool greys of the pool and coping, creating visual depth and balance.
Crowning the wall is a Raffinato Cap in Champlain Grey, which ties seamlessly into the surrounding hardscape and reinforces the project’s modern lines.
When the waterfall is running, the sound transforms the entire atmosphere.
The gentle cascade of water:
- Softens neighborhood noise
- Adds movement and life
- Creates a calming, resort-like ambiance
It’s not just a visual feature — it’s an experience.
Strong Foundations: Belgard Retaining Wall in Driftwood
To complete the space, a Belgard retaining wall in Driftwood was installed, adding both structure and beauty.
Retaining walls are often overlooked — but in well-designed outdoor spaces, they’re essential. In this project, the Driftwood tone brings an earthy warmth that grounds the design while complementing the Hackett Tulsa stone.
Function meets form:
- Stabilizing elevation changes
- Creating dimension in the yard
- Framing the outdoor living space
It’s a subtle but powerful finishing touch.
Designed for Real Life
What makes this project truly special isn’t just the materials — it’s the intention behind them.
This homeowner wanted:
- A modern aesthetic
- A welcoming gathering space
- A backyard that felt custom, not cookie-cutter
- A design that would age beautifully
With thoughtful planning and expert guidance, that vision became reality.
At Kevin Sparks Signature Pools, the goal is never just to install a pool. It’s to walk alongside you — helping you select finishes, features, and layouts that reflect how you live.
