For this Shoal Creek home, we worked with our clients after the installation of their new pool to create various entertaining spaces. A new brick patio replaced existing loose flagstones in the yard. The addition of a raised deck adds dimension to the space, and the sleek cable railing provides safety while keeping the design airy and open. The back end of the pool is raised out of the ground due to the slope of the yard, so the addition of a steel planting bed with evergreen plants softens the pool slab. Steel trellis with hog panel line the side of the pool to add a pop of green with climbing vines.
