Custom Oasis

The story

This custom backyard oasis was part of a brand new build and was coordinated with the builder of the house. The owners wanted a complete outdoor living package, which included a pool, but also incorporated their love for baseball. In addition, there were some drainage issues to be considered in the overall design.

Features included

The owners wanted to incorporate water movement and sounds so a natural boulder waterfall was created to flow into the saltwater pool. The sun ledge features built-in bubbler fountains for additional soothing sound. The elevation changes and beautifully curved rock walls, more than visually aesthetic, funnel rainwater away from the house and outdoor living spaces.

Customized personal touches

The pool deck is further enhanced with tiles that are made specifically for a southern climate and doesn’t get hot. To showcase their love for baseball, a special elevated patio was designed in the shape and color of a baseball. Off white stone created the backdrop for darker clay tiles curved into “seams.”

A seamless design

Since the outdoor space was designed to perfectly match the new house plans, the spaces work together flawlessly and it truly is a custom backyard oasis. This was such a successful project that it inspired several other property designs in the area.
