The Challenge: A Skeptical Client and a Tiny Backyard

When our Arlington clients first approached us, they were doubtful that their small, unremarkable backyard could become anything special. The space seemed too confined for their dreams of a luxurious pool and outdoor living area, and they were close to giving up on the idea altogether.

At Selah Pools, we love a good challenge. We saw potential where our other builders saw limitations, and we were determined to show them how even the most modest spaces can be transformed into extraordinary retreats. This project would push our creative and engineering skills to the limit, but we were excited to prove that with the right vision and expertise, no backyard is too small for a slice of paradise.

Engineering Marvels: Overcoming Space Constraints

When we first surveyed the property, the true extent of our challenge became clear. Not only was the backyard already small, but a utility easement further restricted our workable area, making our clients' dreams seem nearly impossible.

This was the moment when Caleb Stevens, our design manager, stepped in as the project's guiding light. Caleb's expertise and innovative approach were crucial in navigating these constraints.

By fostering an excellent relationship with the City of Arlington and leveraging creative design solutions, we developed a plan that met all regulatory requirements and maximized every inch of available space.

The result was a design that ingeniously worked around the utility easement, transforming what seemed like an insurmountable obstacle into an opportunity for unique features. This careful planning and problem-solving set the stage for a backyard oasis that would surpass everyone's wildest expectations.

Tropical Touches: Creating a Lush Oasis in Arlington

In this Arlington backyard, the transformation centers around a serene, tropical ambiance. The pool, elegantly raised to meet the patio's height, becomes a focal point that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. Natural stone planter boxes brim with lush greenery, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere and providing a vibrant contrast to the pool's complementary tile colors.

This thoughtful design creates a harmonious blend of structure and nature. The greenery not only softens the geometric lines but also adds layers of texture and color, inviting relaxation and escape. The result is a beautifully balanced oasis that feels both intimate and expansive, offering our clients a perfect retreat right at home.

From Concept to Completion: The Transformation Journey

The journey from concept to completion was a testament to the power of vision and collaboration. Initially unsure of what could be achieved, Caleb Stevens and our dedicated team guided our clients through every step. Together, we crafted a plan that embraced the unique challenges of the space, ensuring every detail was meticulously considered.

As construction progressed, the design came to life with precision and care. The raised pool design seamlessly connected with the patio, creating a cohesive flow throughout the backyard. Natural stone planter boxes and vibrant greenery enhanced the serene atmosphere, while complimentary pool tiles added a touch of elegance.

The harmonious blend of elements resulted in a stunning tropical escape that exceeded all expectations, transforming a once-limited space into a personal paradise.

5  Zigs and zags seem like simple choices once they're built. Engineering this close to a home foundation and meeting regulatory requirements is an art unto itself. Utility easements and home foundations are serious business, but this design needed the extra touch to bring it home.

6 Small accents and subtle features like in pool bar stool seating, are easy to do when they're designed in. Out of the question after the fact. This little guy emblazoned on the seating brings home the tropical nature of this beautiful choice in plaster color and style.

7 It's amazing to see the result. What was once a tiny yard now looks miles long and five feet deep. Taking in the long view, it's fantastic to see, but a little bit of elevation does bring out a design.
