# What is Hill Mode?

Not every garden is perfectly flat, and Hill Mode is designed to handle exactly that reality. It allows you to adjust a pool's altitude to match uneven terrain or create above-ground installations, ensuring your design respects the actual landscape.

**When to use Hill Mode:**
* Sloped gardens: Lowers the pool into the hillside so it sits naturally on the grade
* Above-ground pools: Raises the pool to the appropriate height
* Multi-level landscapes: Adjusts the pool to sit perfectly on different terrain levels
