Big Impact in a Small Space
Working with a small backyard doesn’t mean sacrificing big features. We specialize in integrating fire bowls, spas, pools, and entertainment walls into compact spaces through meticulous planning. Our thorough design process eliminates costly change orders and ensures every element fits seamlessly. If you have a vision for your backyard but aren’t sure how to make it work, we’ll guide you from concept to completion.
Smart Drainage Planning
Drainage is critical when designing outdoor spaces in New Orleans, especially in smaller backyards where water has limited escape routes. Proper elevation planning is essential—for example, when installing a pool as your highest point, all surrounding areas must be graded lower to direct water flow correctly. We carefully evaluate drainage requirements during the design phase to prevent water issues and ensure your backyard functions properly for years to come.
Natural Stone Advantage
Fresca limestone is ideal for Louisiana’s hot summers because it stays naturally cool to the touch, making it perfect for pool decks and patios. Unlike synthetic materials that absorb and radiate heat, this natural stone provides comfortable barefoot walking even in extreme temperatures. We incorporate natural stone extensively in our pool and patio designs for both its cooling properties and timeless aesthetic.
