This backyard transformation focused on creating a clean, functional, and low‑maintenance patio and pool surround that completely changed how the homeowners use their outdoor space. What was once a grass‑heavy yard with an aging pool area was rebuilt into a cohesive hardscaped layout designed for entertaining, relaxing, and long‑term durability.
The goal was to improve drainage, reduce ongoing maintenance, and create a finished look that tied the home, pool, and seating areas together.
The Challenge
The Challenge
Before work began, the backyard presented several common issues:
Uneven lawn and soft ground surrounding the pool
Poor drainage leading to muddy and worn areas
Limited usable space for seating and entertaining
An overall layout that felt disconnected from the house
The homeowners wanted a solution that would stand up to heavy use, require less upkeep, and visually elevate the entire yard.
Our Solution
Our Solution
T.A.P Landscaping redesigned the backyard with a full patio and pool surround installation using interlocking stone. The new layout creates smooth transitions from the home to the pool, clearly defined lounging areas, and a polished, modern finish.
Key elements of the project included:
Full excavation and proper base preparation for long‑term stability
Installation of interlocking pavers throughout the patio and pool area
Curved edges around the pool to complement its shape
Clean borders and precise cuts for a seamless, professional finish
The result is a durable surface that improves drainage, reduces maintenance, and significantly expands usable outdoor living space.
