Pool & Patio Design
The complete outdoor room — designed as one integrated environment.
Water is only the beginning. The deck, the dining space, the shade structure, and the ambient lighting are what make a pool environment feel like a resort rather than a contractor project. We design the pool and its surroundings together, as one outdoor room, so proportions, materials, and sightlines all align with your home.
Materials that suit the Main Line. Travertine and Pennsylvania bluestone are the dominant coping and deck materials in this market because they complement the stone-and-brick character of the area's homes and handle our freeze-thaw winters. We also work in large-format porcelain pavers and architectural concrete where the design calls for it.
The full outdoor room. Pergolas and louvered shade structures, outdoor kitchens and bars, fire pits and fireplaces, and integrated low-voltage lighting extend the season and the hours you'll actually use the space. Each element is specified as part of the whole, not added piecemeal later.
Designed before it's built. Our design team plans the patio, drainage, and grade alongside the pool so water sheds correctly, the deck stays comfortable underfoot, and the finished environment flows naturally from the back door to the water's edge.
