Introducing The Riviera™

Shape & Overview:

The Riviera™ is a freeform curve‑shape pool with generous wrap‑around entry steps and a shallow front area, promoting a “staycation every day” feel. Available in 34′, 30′ and 26′ sizes.

Ideal Backyard Context:

This shape is well‑suited for a more informal, resort‑style backyard—think lush landscaping, maybe a slight slope, rock features or water‑feature adjacency.

• Works especially when the pool will be a focal point with curved edges blending into the yard rather than a rigid rectangle.
• Great for daily family use, mixed age groups, and when you plan landscaping that weaves around the pool rather than strictly framing it.
• Also good for yards with irregular boundaries or when you want to soften hardscape edges.

How a Pro-Builder Tailors It:

• Grading: Because of curves, Meramec will pay close attention to how the pool shell fits into the yard’s natural slope—ensuring uniform waterline, appropriate support on the convex/concave edges, and proper drainage away from the shell.
• Coping/decking: For a freeform pool, coping might follow the curve (natural stone pavers or bull‑nose coping) and decking may flow in a radial or organic pattern rather than straight.
• Landscaping: They will likely recommend mixing plantings, rock walls, perhaps a spill‑over spa adjacent to the curve, or a tanning ledge with lounge chairs tucked into the curve.
• Additional features: Because of the casual vibe, you may integrate built‑in spa jets, tanning ledge sections, or even a waterfall. Meramec can coordinate hardscape retaining walls, steps, and landscaping features to accent the freeform edge.
