The homeowners, parents with two young children, desired a backyard oasis where they could entertain with large groups of family and friends. With the backyard being very steep and up against a conservation easement, we had a narrow space to create within. We designed and installed a multi-tiered backyard that offered multiple outdoor living spaces, namely: a swimming pool patio/pavilion platform, lawn terrace, and an upper deck. The swimming pool features three waterfalls and two dive rocks surrounding a “C”-shaped underwater bench. The pavilion platform has the effect of being a treehouse with open walls and being 15’ above the forest floor. In addition, the pavilion features a grand masonry fireplace. The upper deck features an outdoor kitchen.

This sunken backyard drops down to a backyard paradise that includes a breathtaking view of a Liberty Inground pool with dive rock and waterfall features. The expansive stone deck allows for multiple patio seating areas, and a great view from anywhere.

Arching sitting wall and Natural Stone Diving rock sit at the edge of the pool and patio. We can see the full exposure of the sun this patio receives. The perfect place to relax and get a tan.

This residential Lazy River is all about activity! It has a big swimming/play area (30' accross & 40'+ length) plus the lazy river. It has a basketball goal, fire pit, and if you go down the Dolphin slide, one of the lazy river pumps sends you accross the pool to the river entrance! The bridge has a tropical feel and takes you to the island where a secret path leads to the dive rock. Designed by Mike Farley - FarleyPoolDesigns.com
