As the 2025 pool season heats up, homeowners are approaching outdoor living projects with fresh priorities—favoring style, function, and year-round usability over pool size alone. In this Poolside Session, Editor-in-Chief Joanne McClain talks with Connor and Wes Gohlke of Gohlke Pools to explore how client expectations are shifting and how builders are adapting.
Texas-based Gohlke Pools offers a firsthand look at emerging trends. Among them is how post-pandemic demand for multifunctional layouts, compact footprints, and resort-style amenities is reshaping both new builds and renovations. The discussion also covers the growing popularity of phased backyard upgrades and more modern, clean-lined pool designs.
