Without goin into detail Drjay, I would love the oportunity to help you out. Feel free to email me directly. I am in the Atlanta market so I am not trying to solicit a pool build from but we might be able to do some tradeing.

drjay, I am in Texas and worked with a flat yard as well. It is a challenge. I posted some pictures of our pool build.

Here is our build on a flat yard. Visual interest was added with the stone and raised spa.

thanks for the responses so far

Here is a link to a photo galley of my personal pool. We have VERY flat yard here in Orlando Florida. You can view any pool in my gallery and they are 95% flat yards. You could also search any other Florida pool builder on Google and I am sure you will come up with more that enough ideas since florida is so flat.

You might want to consider raising the pool up higher in the yard and incorporating a vanishing edge.

To any of the experienced pool builders or designers out there, I have a question. Do you think the following pool could be built on a flat yard? Would you be able to use dirt to help enhance the topography to minimize the amount of retaining wall needed?

Our yard

That pool is in a flat yard.

Something like that would totally fit in your back yard.
Here are a few reverse neg edge pools I have done.

Thanks just-a-pb! VERY nice!

WOW, WOW, WOW! Wish I saw these before our design. Spectacular. Makes me want to move to AZ. :)

Thank you,
I think everyone should leave the snow and move to Scottsdale, and of course build a pool.

just-a-pb,

could you email or post the basic specs on this pool?

Well, it's hard to leave San Diego weather for AZ, but I sure like to visit and go eat least 2x per year. :)

Our pool build link is below (also on a flat lot). Note the substantially smaller yard you get in So Cal. :)

To just-a-pb those are fantastic pools. I agree Arizona is awesome. Dreaming here, a pool like these in Sedona...heaven To the original poster, nice house!

A+, but take the floaters out before taking pictures.

Yup, AZ is great! Unless, of course, you encounter one of these!

This was in my filter basket. FYI, the bigger they are the less dangerous for some reason.

Here is our (modest by some standards ;>D ) pool on a fairly flat yard. It was a gradual slope up, so we just added steps. The link below shows plans of what the final project will look like.

Mike,
These arent my professional pics, I just snapped a few why I was over there. I always wait 30days to start up salt, so there are the floaters.

Houseful,
He's cute.
The young ones have less control so they give you all their venom, older ones hold back so they can hit you many times.

Just-a-pb, are you from back East, by chance?

I didn't know the small ones were necessarily young. I thought they were different "breeds" or whatever.

Also, I forgot to tell you what gorgeous pools you build. I am dying to know the name of your company. Can you email it to me? desertoasis09@gmail.com

I'll understand if you don't want to share the info.

^I know I know!! hahaha. nice pools by the way. I'll round up some flat yard pics.

How did you figure it out? And can you tell me? Pretty please? I have no motive; I'm just nosy!
