Outdoor Living- Much More Than a Pool

Outdoor living in your backyard adds value to your home, and it brings you enjoyment, while providing a comfortable place to feel alive, regardless of what the day calls for. In fact, for many people, the backyard has become a focal point for entertaining. As a result, many of our projects go well beyond "just a swimming pool," to include custom decks, cooking areas, outdoor seating areas, fireplaces, and more…

Consider how much more fun your home will be with some of these options…

Arbors, Pergolas, Cabanas

Would you like a little shade in your backyard area? An arbor or pergola can create a wonderful living area that stays cool and breezy, while still letting in plenty of light and fresh air.  (In addition, with the right landscaping touch, it can become a natural “green” arbor.)

On the other hand, maybe you would like an outdoor living area that you can use any time, regardless of the weather.  If so, a cabaña may be right for you.

Decks, Patios & Hardscapes

A new deck or patio can add a wonderful space for family gatherings, or for gaining access to a beautiful view. If you already have a deck, but you're just not happy with it, we'll be happy to design an alternative.

Fireplaces & Firepits

An outdoor fireplace or firepit can be a great addition to an outdoor living space. It can be a focal point to formalize your outdoor living room. In addition, everyone knows that gathering around the campfire is a great way to entertain and interact with friends and family.

There are limitless possibilities for firepit and fireplace designs and materials, so look at some of these examples for some ideas.  Whatever you can envision, we can build.

Kitchens & Grills

Nothing completes your outdoor area like the ability to cook without running in and out of the house all the time. We suggest you devote an area of your new outdoor living space to culinary endeavors, based on the number of people you plan to entertain.

Landscaping

A pool without landscaping will always look unfinished. Fortunately, Wagner Pools have a licensed landscape architect on staff that works with our pool design team to come up with the ideal combination of waterscape and landscape. By designing it all at once, we can build in special places for unique plants and other landscape features. 

Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting will have a dramatic impact on the look and beauty of your home. It can make an average area look like a work of art, and bring a sense of warmth and intimacy to any space. It can also let you “recover” space that would be lost to the nighttime darkness.

Keep in mind that outdoor lighting doesn't have to be expensive. It just has to look good.  Call us at (203) 655-0766 to discuss your outdoor lighting options.
