his premier hardscape and design-build project offers an escape from the city within the city. For the backyard retreat, Elite Landscaping installed natural stone pathways that lead through the wooded hillside to a secluded backyard. A custom concrete swimming pool and outdoor tennis court allow for taking full advantage of the summer sun. When the air turns cooler, flickering flames in the outdoor fireplace and remote controlled gas torches make the nights feel cozy warm. As a high-end, design-build company, Elite Landscaping created an architecturally stunning screened-in room that flaunts a custom stone fire wall and rustic beam wood ceiling. The room is designed to connect seamlessly with the beauty of nature, letting in the sounds of a tranquil waterfall just steps away.

Three levels of water, two large rock waterfalls and two fire features make up the luxury swimming pool and deck for Platte County Paradise. The highest pool level features a hot tub from which water spills into the main pool. From the main pool, an infinity edge that runs 30 feet in length spills water down 8 feet into the plunge pool. A slide wraps around a rock water fall and ends in the plunge pool. A beautiful stone and iron staircase escorts you and your guests to the slide. For this rustic design, all rocks were drilled and pinned into the gunnite shell with apoxy. The grotto was built so that swimmers can enter from either side to find seating. The cave is designed to hold a large group for parties. We installed two fire features; one is intended for a large gathering where outdoor couches offer seating. The other feature is at patio level. This luxury pool contains every amenity imaginable including a swim-up bar, full and cabana dry stacked with stone and featuring timber that was selected from the property.

Elements such as bridges need to reflect the nature of the water. This bridge reflects the cobbles used in this cascade. Had it been a pool, then stepping stones or wood that matches the wood along the pool could be employed.
