Our clients needed a welcoming retreat for visiting family and friends—sometimes for extended stays—as well as a hub for poolside living. We designed a pool house that functions beautifully as a guest cottage, offering all the comforts of home. With a pizza oven and high-end grill in the open-air kitchen, it’s ready for everything from summer parties to quiet weekend getaways.

The new backyard consists of a new stain and stamp patio, re-plastering the pool, new coping and new pool surround as well as a new cedar pergola. Each element of the project worked together like a puzzle. The final outcome resulting in three additions that flow together as one comfortable poolside outdoor living room.

This expansive Frisco backyard, a masterpiece by Alterra Landscaping, exemplifies sophisticated outdoor living. The landscape architect designed a seamless flow between the sleek pool and spa and the dedicated lounging area featuring a modern L-shaped sectional and fire pit. Beyond, a covered patio with an outdoor kitchen offers an ideal space for entertaining. Lush green grass, varied plantings, and a stylish gravel bed complete this luxurious and private outdoor oasis, perfect for relaxation and social gatherings.

Whether it is an afternoon of fun by the pool, or a romantic evening enjoying a glass of wine by the fire, this space was expertly designed to maximize the privacy of the surrounding landscape. The combination of different Belgard pavers and walls used gives the illusion of natural stone with all the benefits of concrete. The addition of landscape lighting allows the space to be used well after the sun goes down.
