Pools & outdoor living in Sandy Springs
Plan a gunite pool or complete backyard around the slopes, mature landscaping, and construction access of your Sandy Springs property.
Pool planning on a sloped site
Grade, drainage, protected trees, and access beside the house can affect pool placement and retaining walls. We look at those conditions alongside any municipal review requirements.
Connect the levels of the yard
Stone terraces and steps can give swimming, cooking, and lounging their own spaces. Our Sandy Springs project below shows how those areas connect.
Which level should hold the pool?
Take one photo from the back door and another looking back from the lower yard. Mark where you want to sit and which view you want to keep. We can then compare a pool near the house with a lower terrace and discuss the steps and retaining each would need.
What we build in Sandy Springs
Pools + Spas
Custom gunite pools and spas positioned around the home, topography, sightlines, and usable outdoor space.
Structures + Terraces
Pavilions, kitchens, fireplaces, retaining walls, terraces, and transitions that make challenging grades livable.
Site Coordination
Grading, drainage, access, utilities, permitting, landscape, lighting, and irrigation planned together.
Modern Pool + Terraced Garden
The Sandy Springs pool and garden occupy a sloping site. Retaining walls and steps connect the terraces, and planting frames the gathering areas. The photos are a useful way to compare where people sit with the route they take down to the pool.
