I am glad we are able to work together to create beautiful backyards for so many clients! **★★★★★ — Matt Wallace, April 2017** > I hired Mr. Edwards to draft a remodel for us. I found him to be very responsive and patient, (our homeowner was not the easiest to deal with, changes galore) he was precise, professional, and very reasonably priced. Our project turned out great, and even our "difficult" homeowner was pleased by the end. Thanks Colby! **★★★★★ — Backyard Lagoons, LLC, March 2017** > I worked with Colby a couple of years now and he always provides me with great work. > Joel Magallanez > CEO - Backyard lagoons custom pools **★★★★★ — Don Blankenstein, March 2017** > Creative and Talented with great attention to detail.

He worked with me from the design creation to the project end and any changes made along the way he was able to handle no problem. 5 stars!! **★★★★★ — Elite Pools by Aloha, March 2017** > I have worked w/ Colby and Placid Scene Pool Designs for many years. One of the best decisions I've made. His work is always stunning, professional and a great value. **★★★★★ — browningpoolscapes, Nov. 2016** > Colby is very easy to work with. Which is saying a lot in the construction field. He has good input but also concern for the desires of the customer or builder he is working with. Appreciate his insight into how design meets function and having things designed in a way we can build and use. His designs reflect the many years of experience he has designing pools and working with his CAD and 3-D software. **★★★★★ — Michael Leone, Nov. 2016** > I have been using Placid Scene Pool Design for a few years. Colby loves his work and it shows in his product. His turnaround is fast and does beautiful designs. ## Selected projects - [Thompson](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thompson-pj-vj~7435367) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Multi Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/multi-level-pj-vj~2132674) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Modern Lines](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-lines-pj-vj~6423692) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Sullenbarger](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sullenbarger-pj-vj~2728530) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Pasha](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pasha-pj-vj~2524209) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Lambert](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lambert-pj-vj~2524594) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Freeform Pool with Automatic Pool Cover and Grotto](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/freeform-pool-with-automatic-pool-cover-and-grotto-pj-vj~2415383) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/placid-scene-pool-design-pfvwus-pf~27503431) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/75930138/list/wish-list) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/placidscene) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
