Inspiration for a modern pool remodel in Austin

This backyard leisure retreat is the highlight of a new retirement residence for a couple in Aurora. They pursued an outdoor living lifestyle and asked Betz to include features they could enjoy throughout the day, from morning to evening. The yard may be compact, but it is brimming with aesthetic appeal and practicality.

This design takes a minimalist style and gives it some comfort and live-ability by adding lush sub tropical plants, an edible olive tree, cold hardy kiwi vines, native grape vines, and a splash of color with purple heart groundcover and variegated sansevieria.

A very small backyard where space was at a premium. Our client wanted a sitting area with fire pit and low maintenance was a priority. We designed a simple stamped concrete fire pit patio that butted up to the corner of the yard and used beautiful natural rock slab step stones to carry from the lower walkout patio to both the fire pit patio and the Rundle side yard. Black mulch and some nice plantings rounded out the project. Easy and clean!!

The foundation of every remarkable project lies in purposeful design. Our team embarked on a journey to infuse functionality and aesthetic allure into this modest outdoor canvas. The result is a symphony of lines and spaces that coalesce seamlessly, enhancing the perception of space and utility. Maximizing every inch was pivotal in this endeavor. We can't stress enough how crucial it is to think about the flow of the space. Every inch was carefully considered to ensure smooth movement from the pool area to the cozy lounging spots and the lush garden corners. It's like a dance - effortless and inviting! In the world of making awesome designs happen, challenges are invitations for innovation. The constricted canvas of a compact backyard ignited our creativity, resulting in an oasis that exemplifies elegance in limitations. If you're contemplating what your space can become, let this project be your inspiration - a testament that exceptional design knows no bounds.
