I The centerpiece
Pools that anchor the whole backyard.
Infinity edges, plunge pools for tight lots, and resort-style builds with tanning ledges and swim-up spas. Study the coping, the lighting and the waterline tile — the details your builder will ask about first.
II Dinner, moved outside
Kitchens built for year-round entertaining.
Covered outdoor kitchens with real prep space, islands that seat the whole crew, and grill stations that earn their footprint — plus the indoor layouts, stone and lighting worth stealing for your remodel.
III Planted with intent
Landscaping that loves your climate back.
Native beds, limestone and gravel textures, and drought-tolerant palettes that still look lush in August. Save the plant pairings that suit your region, not just your taste.

Questions people ask before they build
How much does an inground pool cost?
Most inground pools land between $40,000 and $100,000+ depending on size, material and site work. Gunite/concrete costs the most but offers full design freedom; fiberglass and vinyl-liner pools are faster and more budget-friendly. Browse pools
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost?
A simple built-in grill island typically starts around $5,000–$10,000. A full covered outdoor kitchen with a roof, utilities, refrigeration and stone cladding usually runs $25,000–$75,000+, driven mostly by the structure and running gas, water and power to it. Browse kitchens
How big should a patio be?
Size it to the furniture: a dining set for six needs roughly 12×12 feet, and a lounge grouping wants 16×16 or more. It's cheaper to pour the right size once than to extend later. Browse patios
Does a pergola actually provide shade?
A standard slatted pergola cuts roughly 30–50% of direct sun, depending on slat spacing and orientation. Add climbing vines, a canopy or a louvered roof to push that toward full shade. Browse pergolas
Redwood or composite decking?
Redwood is beautiful, cooler underfoot and repairable, but needs sealing every year or two. Composite costs more upfront and runs hotter in full sun, but shrugs off weather with zero maintenance. Browse decks
What is xeriscaping?
Xeriscaping designs the landscape around low water use — native and drought-tolerant plants, efficient drip irrigation and generous mulch. Done well it looks lush, not gravel-lot bare. Browse landscaping
