We love working on all our projects, whether they be commercial, residential, a pool deck installation or a driveway remodel. Sometimes though, a project really stands out, not just because of the project itself but because of the location.

A recent project in the east valley is a perfect example of a magnificent pool, pool deck, patio and driveway framed by a stunning show-stopping backdrop. When selecting materials and looking at the overall design on a project like this, it is essential to consider not only how to compliment the architecture of the home, but also how to maximize and leverage the beauty of the backdrop and the natural surroundings.

Every pool deck remodeling project our team works on is an opportunity to create something special, something that clients will love and enjoy for years to come. A recent project in Paradise Valley, Phoenix is a perfect example of this.

The goal with this project was to create a Paradise Valley pool deck area that truly reflects the grandeur of the home. The pool at this home runs almost the length of the main house and is surrounded on three sides by a rich green lawn. The location and large size of the pool creates a unique opportunity for the pool deck to become a design statement, to not only complement the architecture and styling of the home but to become a design focal point on the property. Lending itself to this is the shape of the pool itself. A long rectangular lap pool becomes almost art deco in appearance with a grand entrance with classic rounded lines. (more…)
