Outdoor Living

Custom outdoor spaces designed to extend how you live at home.

Designed for How You Live Outdoors

Outdoor living spaces bring people together and turn a backyard into a true extension of the home. At Laurel Pools, we design and build custom outdoor living environments that complement your pool, enhance functionality, and create inviting spaces for gathering, relaxing, and entertaining.



With over 50 years of experience, our team understands how outdoor spaces should look, feel, and perform over time. From patios and seating areas to outdoor kitchens, fire features, and retaining walls, every element is thoughtfully planned to fit your property and lifestyle. We consider flow, materials, durability, and long term maintenance to ensure your outdoor space remains enjoyable year after year.


Outdoor living projects can stand alone or be integrated seamlessly with a new pool, renovation, or existing backyard layout. Whether you are looking to create a simple gathering space or a fully featured outdoor environment, Laurel Pools provides clear guidance, quality craftsmanship, and dependable execution from start to finish.
