His background in architectural design is evident in every project, from proportions and materials to how each element relates to the whole. > > He is exceptionally selective about the work that represents his name, and that level of discernment is exactly what sets him apart. The designers who endure over time are the ones who never compromise their standards, and Randy has always operated at that level. > > Anyone looking for a singular design voice — and a designer who understands how to collaborate with top builders and professional teams to execute complex outdoor environments — will be in very capable hands. > > — Jimi Smith, Jimi Smith Photography Group **★★★★★ — anuragsh, March 2021** > We engaged RAD team to design our outdoor living space including Patio, Outdoor Kitchen, Pool, Spa and Landscaping. They did an exceptional job in creating a design that was far beyond anything we could have imagined. The artistic variety of shapes, colors and textures has created a unique and contemporary outdoor design. We especially love the spa and the outdoor patio design. Working with Randy, Brad and the entire RAD team was easy, and they incorporated each and everything that was in our wish list. We would recommend Randy Angell for anyone interested in contemporary design for their outdoor space. **Comment from Randy Angell Designs:** > Thank you so much! We enjoyed collaborating with you, to create your uniquely RAD space!! Cheers! **★★★★★ — Eric Severson, Dec. 2020** > The design team at Randy Angell Designs hit our project OUT OF THE PARK!! Not only was the design original, innovative, and breathtakingly beautiful, but Randy’s referral to a top-notch builder (Elite Outdoor Living) and his ability to work seamlessly with the builder to execute his design flawlessly meant that the finished project looked exactly like his renderings. We were amazed to procure the services of such a celebrated, award-winning designer at such a great value. Randy and his team not only constructed detailed renderings and specs for the work but also produced a 3D computer animated video of the entire project so we could envision the completed project. They consulted closely with our builder throughout the several-months project, visited the project several times, and worked directly with us on materials choices. When the job was done, they had the whole project professionally photographed and filmed. Candidly, we would have been satisfied just to get Randy’s masterful design (which our friends say has transformed our home into a “Four Seasons resort”). We weren’t expecting the white glove service details on top of that and were truly floored. We HIGHLY recommend Randy Angell Designs to anyone who wants a masterpiece of design combined with award-winning service. Thank you, Randy and team for transforming our outdoor space into a work of art! **Comment from Randy Angell Designs:** > Thank you for the awesome review, Eric! We had SO much fun working with you guys, to create this modern resort for your new home. We hope we helped make your transition to Dallas a memorable one, for all the right reasons! Thank you for placing your trust in the RAD team. **★★★★★ — Sveta G, May 2020** > We just finished our pool project, and I want to say a few words about our designer, Randy Angell. I can talk about him for hours as well as write so many good things, but I’ll try to make the long story short. We have a perfect pool!!! > Our backyard was like a faceless wasteland, and now we cannot stop looking through all of our windows, it’s an amazing view!!! Randy brought the ocean to our backyard. I talked to him in our first meeting about my dreams, and in the second meeting we had an excellent master plan including the pool, spa, kitchen, landscaping, and very small details. Randy has a unique taste and an accurate eye. He is a good colorist and what’s very important is that he knows everything about new materials on the market. > Three years ago we tried to find builders for our pool project, but we were stuck because there were no original ideas for pools. Therefore, we stopped searching, and then I found Randy and his projects online! Thank you Randy and your team! I love you, and we cannot wait to work with you on the next part of our project! **Comment from Randy Angell Designs:** > Thank you so much!! What an absolute pleasure to work with you guys! I am happy we were able to collaborate and bring your dream to life. Remember this yard?? **★★★★★ — Julie Feldman, Jan. 2020** > WOW! We just received our RAD plans and sat down with Randy to over the design. His vision surpassed our expectations. Randy clearly has a gift for truly listening to his clients and being extremely thoughtful in his design to make sure it reflects the entire wish list in ways we could not have dreamed. The 3D design presentation was amazing and shows us exactly what the design will look like incorporated into our home/property. We can't wait to see his vision come to life. **★★★★★ — HU-526064198, Nov. 2019** > We hired Randy Angell Designs to design the entire external landscape and hardscape for our new build in Dallas. Randy and his team created an extraordinary design that exceeded our expectations for creativity, insight, functionality, and practicality. RAD really listened to us during our consultation session, so the design they delivered for the pool, landscape, hardscape, lighting, and water features perfectly fit the vision we had in our heads for a sleek, contemporary but low maintenance aesthetic. From the ceramic pavers to the drought resistant plantings to the mid-century modern stone and tile, RAD really captured the sense of modern, easy-care luxury we were looking for. The cool CAD video RAD created really helped us envision the final design in 3 dimensions. We highly recommend RAD to anyone who is looking for a highly creative yet thoroughly livable outdoor design. **Comment from Randy Angell Designs:** > Thank you SO much!! It has been a blast working with you, and we look forward to our continued relationship! **★★★★★ — sherylmintz, June 2019** > We have a pool in the front courtyard of our home. We knew we wanted to remodel our unique pool space and needed a very special someone to design the right look. We are so lucky that we found Randy Angell. Not only is he amazingly talented , his ability to listen and really hear what his client wants is amazing. It’s not often you find someone who is responsive , who cares and goes the extra mile because it’s the right thing to do. His attention to detail is an attribute you don’t find often. When we called upon Randy to help with a question or to help with a problem , he was always there for us in a timely manner. His thoughtful approach to design is impressive. All we can say is working with Randy Angell designs is like a BREATH OF FRESH AiR. Do yourself a favor and work with the best ! You will enjoy the process and be happy with your results. **★★★★★ — Ilaria Outhouse, May 2019** > Randy does amazing backyard & pool designs. We have a very challenging square backyard and had been through numerous pool vendors to try and get the right design. Randy nailed the design right out of the gate. Not only does he delivery superb and timely work, but he is just a pleasure to work with. We could not be happier with our backyard design and cannot wait to built it! Thanks Randy...you are simply the BEST! **★★★★★ — Bryan Lee, Dec. 2018** > Randy Angell Designs created the pool of our dreams. Despite being 1,000 miles away they were able to create a seamless design that fit perfectly with our lot. I had looked at a lot of pool pictures when we decided we were going to put in a pool and kept saving pools that Randy had designed. It was then when i realized i needed to give Randy a call. If you are looking for the Wow factor RAD is where you need to go. Randy and his team went above and beyond to help educate us on the process and answer all our questions along the way. **Comment from Randy Angell Designs:** > Thank you so much! Brad and I enjoyed working with you, and I can't wait to stop by and see the finished project during my next visit to Phoenix!! **★★★★★ — Dave Kronlage, Dec. 2018** > We utilized Randy Angell to help design our pool and backyard landscaping even though we live in a different state. We provided Randy a little direction in terms of what we were looking for and he exceeded our expectations. Randy's design utilized the general theme we provided, but elevated the entire project with features we did not know were possible. Our builders and subs were equally impressed with his design. As part of the deliverables, he provided a video of the backyard that we found helpful as well as CAD files our builder needed to execute his design. We would use Randy Angell again and recommend him for anyone interested in premier design work. **★★★★★ — Kirk Heinlein, Dec. 2018** > I've worked with Randy on and off over the last several years -- all on the same project! Each time he's blown me away with his creative modernity, his ability to solve seemingly insolvable problems, and his patience. Partnering with Randy has been amazing -- and it truly is a partnership (I'm pretty hands-on when it comes to design) -- Randy is open, collaborative and impressively creative. For the money you'll get far more than you deserve. I know, because I certainly did! **★★★★★ — Shelley Boswell Karpman LLC, Nov. 2018** > Absolutely the highest recommendation for Randy. Our pool design far exceeded our expectations and we cannot wait to see it come to life this Spring. Randy was an absolute joy to work with and we will continue to utilize his expertise and knowledge through the entire backyard project. His 3-D presentation and sketches were truly a work of art. Thank you Randy! **Comment from Randy Angell Designs:** > Thank you for your 5-Star review, and the kind words! We have had SO much fun working on your project, and can't wait to see it come to life! ## Selected projects - [Whitehall Modern Circles](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitehall-modern-circles-pj-vj~7900433) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [FLLW Inspired Remodel Waterfall Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fllw-inspired-remodel-waterfall-addition-pj-vj~7886013) - Location: Arlington, TX - Photos: 11 - [Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/frank-lloyd-wright-inspired-remodel-pj-vj~7604035) - Location: Arlington, TX - Photos: 19 - [Phillips Creek Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/phillips-creek-ranch-pj-vj~7681509) - Location: Frisco, TX - Photos: 55 - [Village Lakes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/village-lakes-pj-vj~7681400) - Location: Frisco, TX - Photos: 16 - [Prestonwood Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prestonwood-reno-pj-vj~7681433) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 12 - [Newman Village](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newman-village-pj-vj~7681571) - Location: Frisco, TX - Photos: 17 - [North Dallas Full Property Modern Landscape Design + Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-dallas-full-property-modern-landscape-design-pool-pj-vj~6422341) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 20 - [North Dallas Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-dallas-retreat-pj-vj~7681528) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 22 - [Lake Highlands Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-highlands-remodel-pj-vj~7602851) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 17 - [Tal Thevnot, Aquaterra Outdoors and Randy Angell Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tal-thevnot-aquaterra-outdoors-and-randy-angell-design-pj-vj~7525856) - Location: Carrollton, TX - Photos: 13 - [Avalon on the Water](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/avalon-on-the-water-pj-vj~7680205) - Location: Sugar Land, TX - Photos: 16 - [Shaddock Creek Modern Palms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shaddock-creek-modern-palms-pj-vj~7144391) - Location: Frisco, TX - Photos: 19 - [Preston Hollow Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/preston-hollow-modern-pj-vj~7344088) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 26 - Description: Following the devastating Dallas tornado, RAD was called upon to bring new life to this once beautiful backyard oasis. - [The Carillon Big Screen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-carillon-big-screen-pj-vj~7681599) - Location: Southlake, TX - Photos: 7 - [Cedar Creek Lake Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cedar-creek-lake-modern-pj-vj~7342940) - Location: Mabank, TX - Photos: 12 - [Bobbitt Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bobbitt-project-pj-vj~6912453) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 12 - [Newman Village Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newman-village-pool-pj-vj~6912443) - Location: Frisco, TX - Photos: 6 - [Belmont Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belmont-project-pj-vj~6912439) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 13 - [Cross Creek Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cross-creek-ranch-pj-vj~7343007) - Location: Fulshear, TX - Photos: 17 [See all 78 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/swimming-pool-builders/randy-angell-designs-pfvwus-pf~2080631705) ## Community Q&A **Q: Diving Board Source Please?** *(in Photo Questions)* Hello, would love to know where you sourced the diving board - it’s beautiful. Thank you! A: Right??!! Mikel Tube - Wooden Diving Boards **Q: What is the type of product on the pool deck?** *(in Photo Questions)* Incredible designs in your portfolio! Seeking a similar look for Charleston, SC, with its hot and humid climate. Is the decking material around the pool Techno Block? Thank you very much! A: Thank you, Amber! The decking on this project is a poured-in-place colored concrete w/ an acid-washed finish. I have been working on a new design project in Charleston today - down on James Island! I'd love to work with you on any future design needs you may have. **Q: Beautiful finish on the concrete.** *(in Photo Questions)* What color did you use? A: Understand, this project just celebrated its 10th anniversary, so I don't know the exact color we used. With Lueders limestone coping, like this project has, we most often use Butterfield "Bone" color hardener. **Q: Dimensions of this space?** *(in Photo Questions)* What a great layout for a rectangular space?! So much inspiration, just love it! What are the dimensions of this backyard? A: Thank you! This yard is about 30' deep x 100' wide. We would love to create a RAD design for your space, too. Keep in mind, we design projects across the country and we have a network of builders that can ensure a top notch implementation of our design, no matter where you live! **Q: Pergola Roof Panels** *(in Photo Questions)* The pergola roof panels are unique. Could you name the manufacturer please. Congratulations on a beautiful yard and pool in a small area! A: Thank you, Nancy! The panels were custom designed and fabricated by us for this project. If you're interested in this design or any of our other custom panel designs, please email hello@randyangelldesigns to receive more information and a quote! **Q: what is the material & color of the large 4x4 pieces around the pool.** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the material and color of the large 4’x4’ pieces around the pool next to the cooping?
