Overview:

Dogwood Landscaping, Pools, and Patios transformed Andy and Ashley Elliott’s backyard into a functional and luxurious entertainment space. The project featured a custom swimming pool and spa, covered outdoor living area and kitchen, paver pool decking, paver patio with a smokeless firepit, LED low-voltage lighting, and privacy tree installations.

Despite challenges, including mounting pool equipment inside an existing chicken coop and adhering to strict septic system regulations, Dogwood successfully navigated these hurdles, creating a unique backyard retreat.

Project Highlights:

  • Custom Swimming Pool and Spa: A 14’x28’ pool with a 7’x7’ spa featuring raised beams for added structural integrity due to the above-ground grade.
  • Multi-Level Patio Areas: Designed with Belgard pavers, providing distinct spaces for relaxing and entertaining.
  • Outdoor Kitchen & Entertainment Space: Covered area with an outdoor TV, speakers, ceiling fans, and ambient lighting to complement the smokeless firepit.
  • Retaining Walls & Grading: Engineered to enhance the sloped terrain and create usable outdoor space.
  • LED Low-Voltage Lighting: ProTrade and Unique Brand fixtures were used for ambiance and security.
