01The Springs
What shapes pool work in The Springs
Modest plots
Garden homes here suit compact pools that leave space for a deck and planting.
Narrow access
Side passages and single gates often mean smaller machines or hand digging for new pools.
Established pools
Existing pools are often due for waterline tiles, grout or a quieter, more efficient pump.

—Setting
Compact gardens and narrow access
One of the first neighbourhoods of Emirates Living to be occupied, in the early-to-mid 2000s, The Springs is made up of townhouses and garden villas. Gardens are modest, so new pools here are usually compact designs that leave room for a deck and some planting.
Access shapes construction more than anything: many gardens are reached through a side passage or a single gate, which can mean small machines or hand digging. Existing pools of that age are often due for waterline tiles, grout or a quieter and more efficient pump.
Before asking for designs or quotes
- How wide is the narrowest point on the route into the garden?
- How much of the garden should stay as deck and planting?
- For an existing pool: is the pump loud, and are waterline tiles chipped or stained?
- Are neighbours’ walls or structures close to where the pool would go?

—Questions
Pool questions for The Springs
- Can a pool be built in a garden reached by a side passage?
- Yes, with smaller equipment and more manual work. It affects the programme and the method rather than whether the pool can be built.
- What pool suits a modest townhouse garden?
- Plunge pools and compact rectangular pools are common, often with a bench or sun ledge to make the most of a small footprint.
- Why replace an older single-speed pump?
- A variable-speed pump can run slowly for most of the day, which usually makes it quieter and cheaper to run — noticeable in a small garden close to the house.
