No matter where you are in this backyard resort, there is seating and functional space. To break up the elongated property, Alderwood crews used native plantings, which also offered privacy for the pool.

This Caviness project for a modern farmhouse design in a community-based neighborhood called The Prairie At Post in Oklahoma. This complete outdoor design includes a large swimming pool with waterfalls, an underground slide, stream bed, glass tiled spa and sun shelf, native Oklahoma flagstone for patios, pathways and hand-cut stone retaining walls, lush mature landscaping and landscape lighting, a prairie grass embedded pathway design, embedded trampoline, all which overlook the farm pond and Oklahoma sky. This project was designed and installed by Caviness Landscape Design, Inc., a small locally-owned family boutique landscape design firm located in Arcadia, Oklahoma. We handle most all aspects of the design and construction in-house to control the quality and integrity of each project. Film by Affordable Aerial Photo & Video

If you have a big backyard and are not sure what to do, a skillful landscape designer can help you plan out the whole thing. The beauty of having a landscape design is that you don't need to implement the design at once, with a plan, you can do the landscaping with a phased approach.

POOL The swimming pool was fully suspended above the plantroom and balance tanks. It is a 25.0m x 1.8m lap pool featuring an infinity edge and gutter for the majority of the length of the pool. The pool provides a structural element for the house with the walls supporting five significant concrete columns that support the levels above. Careful set out was required to ensure these were in the right place as they continued for two levels above. As the pool was constructed above the plantrooms and adjacent to the basement considerable focus was on the waterproofing detail and installation. The pool is fully tiled with Bisazza ‘Salice’ glass mosaics which roll over the infinity edge into the gutter. Three large glass panels were installed measuring 2.15m x 3.15m each, providing windows into the basement and wine cellar below. Each panel weighed around 180kgs. As an extension to the lap pool there is a shallow water feature that is an extra 5.0m long, giving the lap pool the appearance of continuing forever. The pool includes solar and gas heating, in floor cleaning and multi coloured lights. SPA The 4.3m x 1.4m raised spa is constructed on the second level balcony with unsurpassed bayside views across to the city. Designed with a breathtaking four sided infinity edge and ethanol fireplace, the impact is unquestionable. Enhancing the ambience are two multi coloured lights in the spa with perimeter fibre optic lighting from the gutter lighting up the outside walls. Included in the spa are several jet combinations with single, dual and a combination six jet ‘super jet’ included for a powerful back massage. The spa has its own filtration and heating system with in floor cleaning, gas heating and separate jet pump. All of the equipment is installed at sub base level. The spa is tiled with Bisazza GM Series glass mosaic both internally and on the external walls. Water spills over the tiled walls into a concealed gutter and then to the balance tank in the sub base level. All plumbing to the balance tank and plantroom is concealed in shafts within the building. Much of the work in this project is hidden behind the walls with countless hours spent both designing and installing the plumbing systems which had to be installed in stages as the building was constructed. Due to the location of the spa it has been both fully waterproofed and constructed on a sound isolation system to ensure comfort to those in the rooms below. The separate pool and spa equipment systems are tied together via a Pentair Intellitouch automation system. All of the equipment can be operated by a computer or mobile device for customer convenience. This pool and spa has been designed and constructed with premium materials, equipment and systems to provide an ultimate level of sophistication. The design is completed by installing practical and easy to use elements that add to the overall functionality of the installation.

Clearly, this glass pool fence is stunning! We recently enclosed this swimming pool in Southold, NY with a combination of frameless tempered glass and aluminum fencing.

The Ipe deck serves as coping on two sides of the 15’ x 32’ Gunite pool while premium sandblasted Cascade stone caps the far side and the raised feature wall. The pool enjoys total privacy thanks to the mature trees along the property line.

This Gristmill Lane project’s stunning pool and patio area showcase exceptional masonry craftsmanship. Expanding the area’s use long into the late fall season, an outdoor fireplace and large pavilion area feature stonework chosen to complement the home. An intricate paver walkway greets guests to the home while hinting at the visual surprises that await.

So in love with how their interior space felt, our clients once again invited us to orchestrate an outdoor environment just as life changing. Our first objective was to create an unobstructed view of the sculptural pool fountain from the front door while designing a covered lanai. We developed a highly sophisticated and textural material palette and layout for large family gatherings. We brought together a dream team that consisted of landscape, lighting, pool and contractors, all that excel in their trades to collaborate on this one of a kind outdoor experience.

Elemental Design Group had a big challenge in transforming an inaccessible hillside into a beautiful outdoor landscape. The garden includes terraces for an outdoor kitchen, spa deck, dining deck, swimming pool and fireside lounge. The harmoniously integrated spaces are as beautiful by night with downlighting, up lighting, integrated hardscape lights and the warm glow of fire. Existing decks that were originally disconnected were redesigned to seamlessly flow down to the pool. The pool includes an elevated grade beam to hide the automatic cover, a sun shelf, fire pots, sheer descent water feature, glass tile accents, and color-changing pool lights. Powder coated laser-cut metal panels hide the undersides of the deck providing hidden storage and a dramatic backdrop for the pool area. Custom metal fencing surrounds the pool and upper decks, complimenting the Cor-Ten steel fire pit and retaining walls. Travertine coping and treads, with bluestone porcelain tile, and colorful plantings, are just some of the accents for this functional and luxurious family space.
