The spa circulates pool water, constantly fills up with pool water, then water falls via the spillover channel back into their pool. When expanding the patio near the master bedroom, Deck and Patio took the opportunity to upgrade the spa by adding boulders, and turning the spillover into a larger waterfall to create a more beautiful pool scene. www.deckandpatio.com

Deck and Patio refinished the inside of the pool, changing it from white to dark gray. This new color reacts with the water to give the more desirable “natural lagoon” effect. Swim-out steps were added; new stepping stone path beside the pool provides a swath of natural charm within the expansive patio areas. www.deckandpatio.com

Turning overlooked corners into usable space, this Sherman Oaks, CA backyard was upgraded with a newly built pool and a full outdoor renovation planned around how the family uses the yard. The design centers on a custom pool and a practical BBQ area that supports everyday use and hosting. We added walkways, a retaining wall, and rebuilt steps to manage elevation and improve access across the property. Stone paving with lighter accents defines each area, while LED lighting enhances visibility after dark, creating a durable, well-structured outdoor space.

To stay within budget, we kept the existing pool but upgraded it with all new plumbing, main drain, returns and skimmers, new pool equipment, and a new finish on the pool interior. Other than the pool, everything else in the backyard was removed to make room for a new upper patio with a fire pit, hot tub/spa, barbecue, outdoor kitchen and dining area, as well as a new lower patio with custom cabana-pavilion. Connecting it all would be a spectacular backyard multi-faceted water feature. The homeowners were also delighted that during the construction process we retained and transplanted most of their property’s original mature growth trees. They now have a beautiful pool and wonderful places to entertain, like the cabana, that are set in lush surroundings. www.deckandpatio.com

For this second “set-in-garden” installation, the backyard was already picturesque — however, until they added the hot tub, their yard was without a much desired water feature. Also note how the choices for this custom installation works perfectly with the existing landscaping.

Next, in order to offer more natural charm from the handsome patio into the spa, moss rock steps replaced the ones that came with the delivery. Boulders were also brought in, plus soil and plants.

As part of an overall backyard upgrade, Deck and patio was asked to replace a deteriorating two-tiered retaining wall that had become an unsightly focal point of the clients’ pool and patio area. www.deckandpatio.com

Hot Tub Installation (Massapequa/NY): One reason Best Hot Tubs specializes in Bullfrog Spas is their virtual leak-proof design. This permitted customized concrete block retaining walls to be added on three sides before adding soil, boulders, and plants. The back side, however, was left open for access to pumps and equipment.
