Pool renovation

Pool renovation for the backyard you already have.

Have an older pool that no longer fits how you live? Scott Rutherford takes on full pool renovations. He walks the yard with you and plans the new version of the pool and the space around it.

What can change

What a full renovation can include.

What fits depends on the pool you have today. Scott checks that first, then plans with you.

A spa or spillover

Warm water next to the pool, with water spilling between them. See spas.

New stone, tile and water features

Fresh finish work and a water wall or waterfall to change how the pool looks.

A new patio around the pool

More room to sit, eat and lounge. See landscape and hardscape.

Lighting for the night

Pool lights and yard lights on zones. See lighting.

A kitchen or fire nearby

An outdoor kitchen or a fire feature close to the water.

Easy controls

Pump, heat, lights and water features on one control. See smart technology.

Is it a fit?

What we take on, and what we don't.

A good fit

Full pool renovations. New pools. Bigger backyard projects built around a pool, like a patio, kitchen, fire feature or lighting.

Usually not a fit

Small one-off repairs, like only replacing a heater. If the repair is part of a bigger renovation, we are glad to talk about it.
