Pool Studio review
A Windows design tool for pool-led outdoor projects, with terrain modeling and 8K output.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pool Studio is Windows desktop software from Structure Studios for pool designers, landscape designers, pool builders and outdoor-living professionals. It brings pool, spa and water-feature design together with landscape and hardscape tools for projects that may also include decks, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire features. The workflow spans 2D drafting and 3D editing in one project, making it a fit for specialists who need to present an outdoor space as a whole rather than focus only on planting plans.
Its strongest distinction is the combination of pool-focused design with broader site and construction tools. Built-in plant, material and 3D-object libraries support design work, while terrain slopes, elevations and terrain painting help shape the site. AutoCAD DWG/DXF import, construction calculations and 3D measurements connect designs to project documentation. The software can also produce interactive presentations, 8K image captures and video storyboards. This breadth favors pool and outdoor-living firms; a designer seeking a general-purpose landscape tool without a pool-centered workflow may prefer a narrower alternative.
According to the vendor's pricing details, Pool Studio costs $147 per user per month with monthly billing or $125 per user per month when billed annually. Both listed plans carry the same feature highlights, including landscape design tools, pools, outdoor kitchens, fire features, decking, pergolas, patios and driveways. A 30-day full-access trial is available without a credit card. The subscription includes updates, support, libraries and live training, with support through phone, email and documentation. Choose it if pool and outdoor-living design, terrain work and presentation output justify the subscription; it is less suited to mobile-first teams or buyers wanting a broader landscape-design focus.
