Step into your backyard and meet the sound of water trickling, the sun shining off a sparkling pool. For homeowners, small families, and outdoor enthusiasts in Nashville, this is a reality with an above ground swimming pool from Wallaby Pools. In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about these amazing pools, from the appeal and installation process to how they can transform your outdoor space. Let’s get started.
Above Ground Pools
Above ground pools are on the rise and for good reason. They’re perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and relaxation lovers, small families looking for an easy and fun way to beat the heat on those hot summer days. The convenience and affordability of an above ground swimming pool compared to inground pools, along with ease of access and maintenance, plus the flexibility of placement and design, make above ground pools a great addition to any home looking to upgrade their outdoor space.
Why Above Ground Concrete Pools?
Above ground concrete pools combine durability and beauty. Unlike traditional above ground pools, concrete pools are built to last, a solid feature for your home. A concrete plunge pool, however, requires significant ground preparation due to its weight and needs specialized equipment and skilled labor for installation, which can lead to higher freight and installation costs compared to fiberglass options. They look modern and sleek and can upgrade any backyard into a peaceful retreat. The solid construction and design of concrete pools make them a stylish choice for homeowners who want both style and substance in their outdoor space.
Space and Flexibility
For small space owners an above ground concrete pool is the way to go. Ground fiberglass pools offer a versatile and affordable alternative, providing high-quality engineering and aesthetics at a lower price point. These pools can be customized to fit your space and needs, so they’re a versatile option for any backyard. Whether you have a tiny yard or a big garden Wallaby Pools can design a pool to fit.
Safe and Fun for Families
Safety is top of mind for families and above ground swimming pools have several safety benefits compared to inground pools. With higher walls they’re less accessible to small children and pets, reducing the risk of accidents. Plus they’re a fun and enjoyable space for family gatherings, parties and relaxation.
Above Ground Pool Installation
Installing an above ground concrete pool is a precise process that requires skill and attention to detail. Compared to an in-ground pool, which involves a lengthy installation process and significantly higher costs, above ground pools are more convenient and budget-friendly. At Wallaby Pools we pride ourselves on delivering premium installations that exceed our customer’s expectations. Here’s a step by step guide to our process:
Consultation and Design
The first step in the process is a consultation with our team. We chat about your vision, wants and the specifics of your space. Our design team then creates a custom pool design to fit your needs and style.
Site and Excavation
Once the design is finalized we prepare the site. This involves clearing the area and any excavation required. Our team makes sure the site is level and ready for construction.
Construction and Concreting
Next we build the pool structure. Compared to above ground pools, constructing an inground pool involves more complex techniques and higher costs. Using top quality materials and best practice our team builds the pool walls and floor. The concreting process is key to the pool’s durability and lifespan.
Plumbing and Electrical
A pool is more than just a structure; it needs a well designed plumbing and electrical system. Our trained professionals take care of all plumbing and electrical work so your pool operates smoothly and safely.
Finishing and Landscaping
The last step in the process is the finishing and landscaping. Inground pools, often made of concrete, require more maintenance compared to above ground pools, which are generally easier to maintain and more affordable. This includes installing the pool’s interior finish, adding any features (fountains or lighting) and blending the pool into your outdoor space with beautiful landscaping.
Above Ground Pool Landscaping
Blending your pool into the overall outdoor space is key to creating a cohesive and welcoming environment. Wallaby Pools offer landscaping services to upgrade the beauty and functionality of your pool area.
Seamless Integration
Our landscaping team work with you to design a landscape that suits your pool and backyard. Whether you like a tropical oasis or a modern design we’ll create a paradise that’s tailored to you.

Maintenance and Upkeep
Maintenance is key to keeping your pool and landscaping looking its best. We provide clear maintenance instructions and ongoing support so your pool remains a beautiful and enjoyable part of your home for years to come.
Environmental Impact: Why Fiberglass Pools are Eco Friendly
Fiberglass pools are more eco friendly than other types of pools for several reasons. The manufacturing process produces less waste and the materials used are very durable so less repair and replacement is needed. Also the smooth surface of fiberglass pools requires less chemicals to maintain water quality so less environmental impact.
Energy efficient pumps, heaters and LED lighting will further reduce the carbon footprint of fiberglass pools. By choosing eco friendly accessories and practices you can enjoy your pool while being mindful of your impact.
