Pool surrounds and pool-area layout
Pool-area layout, paving, edges, and planting that frame how the pool sits in the yard — the same pool-surround emphasis already referenced in firm materials alongside walks and landscape construction.
Pools & Water Features
Pools, fountains, and water features integrated with the landscape
Pool surrounds, spas, fountains, ponds, streams, waterfalls, and stormwater-sensitive water elements sit in the same coordinated site conversation as paving, planting, grade, and how you move outdoors — so water reads as part of the composition rather than a bolt-on amenity. That is how this category is already described on the homepage and services overview, and how we approach it alongside hardscape and broader landscape work.
Composition, not isolation
Water planned with the whole site
Pools and water features change light, sound, circulation, and how planting and paving meet the ground. We plan them with the same integrated discipline described across the services overview — alongside hardscape, grading, drainage, plant material, and outdoor use — so decisions about edges, transitions, and views stay coherent on paper and in the field.
That matters for residential and estate-scale properties, commercial grounds, and environmental sites where recreation, stormwater-sensitive water elements, and landscape structure need to work together rather than compete.
Typical scope
What pools & water features can include
Scope-level categories drawn from how this service is summarized on the homepage and services catalog — not every list item applies to every property.
Fountains, ponds, and waterfalls
Fountains, ponds, streams, and waterfalls when they are part of the approved outdoor plan — designed and installed in coordination with stone, planting, and grade as described on the homepage.
Spas and water-focused gathering areas
Spas and sitting walls or gathering edges where those elements appear in the documented scope — aligned with the pool and water vocabulary already used on this site.
Water elements with planting and paving
Integration between water, paving, and plant material so finishes and sight lines read as one outdoor environment — not isolated features dropped into unrelated beds or walks.
Grading, drainage, and stormwater-sensitive coordination
Grade, drainage, and stormwater-sensitive water elements planned alongside the broader landscape, as already noted in services copy. Where dedicated stormwater scope is the lead need, the stormwater management service category may be the clearer starting point on a consultation call.
Finishing details across the site
Detailing that ties pool and water features back to walks, terraces, entries, and planting — the finishing layer that keeps the built landscape legible after installation.
How it fits our process
Design, planning, construction, supervision, and optional care
Pool and water-feature work is delivered within the same six-stage pathway used firm-wide. The summaries below match the Process page; water-related construction remains part of coordinated installation and supervision, not a separate workflow.
-
Consultation & site analysis
We begin with an on-site consultation and initial site analysis so we understand your goals, the conditions of the land, and how you intend to live outdoors. That first pass sets the tone for everything that follows — what to protect, what to improve, and where the landscape can do its best work.
-
Conceptual planning & layout
Conceptual sketches and layout options are developed and reviewed with you — tailored to your tastes and to the opportunities of the site. This is where directions are compared before time and budget commit to a single built solution.
-
Plans, details & renderings
We prepare complete landscape design plans with details, and color renderings when they help you visualize the finished environment before construction. The intent is straightforward: decisions stay clear while there is still room to refine — so what gets built matches what you approved on paper.
-
Construction & installation
When plans are approved, our crews deliver coordinated construction and landscape installation across the scopes your project requires — hardscape, planting, lighting, water features, irrigation, and related site work — with disciplined coordination rather than a loose chain of handoffs.
-
Supervision & workmanship
Work is personally supervised by Greg or a member of the management team. We select high-quality nursery stock and landscape materials suited to each job, and we guarantee our workmanship — we stand behind the outcome of the work we take on.
-
Optional maintenance & care
Maintenance contracts and care programs are available when you want disciplined seasonal attention after installation — including pruning, mulching, lawn programs, and seasonal preparation — aligned with the ongoing landscape services we offer when you want the landscape to stay at its best.

Project fit
Where water and site composition meet
This category is a natural lead when recreation, sound, reflection, or stormwater-sensitive water elements are central to how you want to use the property — residential, estate-scale, commercial, or environmental — and when paving, planting, grade, and circulation all need to respond to the presence of water.
When the job is best understood as full outdoor planning and construction across many scopes at once, Design, build & install may be the clearer entry point; pool and water work still carries through as coordinated scope within that pathway.
Additional pool- and water-focused photography and fuller examples will continue to appear on the portfolio over time — without changing how we plan and build work in the field today.
Discuss pools and water features for your property
Share how you want water to read in the landscape and what already exists on site. We will follow up to schedule a consultation — the same first step we use on the Main Line and surrounding communities.
