TURNING DREAMS INTO OUTDOOR MASTERPIECES
More than 30 years ago, Shelly and Alan Matheny envisioned a future where they could design and build some of the finest pools in the region. Today, that dream is a reality. What started as a passion for creating extraordinary outdoor spaces has grown into Diamond Pools, one of Arkansas’ premier luxury pool builders. In 2017, the Mathenys purchased and rebranded their former employer’s Little Rock location. Since then, Diamond Pools has flourished, crafting nearly 45 bespoke poolscapes each year, each one a unique reflection of its homeowners’ lifestyle. From swimming pools and spas to outdoor kitchens, fire features, and custom hardscapes, Diamond Pools is known for curating entire backyard environments with an unmatched level of creativity and precision. “We design the whole outdoor environment,” says co-owner Alan Matheny. By weaving in natural elements such as Arkansas or Oklahoma flagstone, the team creates a seamless blend between modern luxury and the area’s natural landscape. The result: spaces that feel at once timeless, authentic, and magical.
Where Vision Meets Innovation
Diamond Pools employs in-house designers who bring each concept to life through state-of-the-art 3D design software. Clients can experiment with finishes, textures, and layouts, then watch their future backyard unfold on a 75-inch flatscreen before construction even begins. This hands-on process ensures every detail—from the shape of the pool to the choice of stone—is tailored to the homeowner’s vision Inside the Diamond Pools showroom, clients enjoy the largest retail selection of pool supplies and equipment in the region, alongside an exclusive design center. Here, materials like coping, tile, and plaster can be touched and compared, giving homeowners a tangible sense of how their space will come together.
Luxury Meets Technology
Modern convenience is built into every Diamond Pools project. App-controlled lighting, water features, and automation systems allow homeowners to manage their pool with ease from virtually anywhere. As the exclusive installer of the Paramount PCC2000 in-floor cleaning system, Diamond Pools also delivers a maintenance-free experience, keeping pools pristine with cutting-edge technology.
More Than Pools—Creating Experiences
For the Mathenys, the most rewarding part of the business goes beyond the elegance of stonework or the brilliance of water features. It’s about creating places where families connect, laugh, and make memories. “My favorite thing is seeing families enjoy the backyard environment we’ve created for them,” Alan shares. “There’s nothing better than watching kids splash and play in a pool that will be part of their lives for years to come.” With craftsmanship rooted in experience, a commitment to innovation, and a passion for bringing dreams to life, Diamond Pools continues to set the standard for luxury outdoor living—right here in Arkansas and beyond.
