The Outdoor Dreams Journey

A consistent process to produce unique swimming pool projects, create lasting property value, and delight clients.

Outdoor Dreams process hero

Our process is broken into 4 major steps and can take 3 - 12 months to complete. We break the process down below to explain how an outdoor dream becomes a reality.

We'll continue the conversation to make sure we understand your project properly and answer any of your remaining questions about us. Our goal at the end of this meeting is to know if we want to work together.

Sign Design Contract and Make First Design Payment

Our design services start at $5,000 for swimming pool environments and multi-element outdoor living spaces.

Projects that include custom structures—such as cabanas, pool houses, porches, or garages—may incur additional design fees based on complexity.

Design fees are split into two payments: the first is due upon signing the design agreement, and the second is collected after Round 1, with an optional opt-out clause available (details below).

We apply all design payments towards the cost of construction.
