I recently had outdoor pool make from this company and I couldn't be happier. The quality is fantastic and it was exactly what I was looking for. The customer service was great too, they were very helpful and accommodating
We had a vision for our backyard, and Innovative Outdoor Living brought it to life beyond anything we imagined. The team was professional, attentive, and delivered a space that has quickly become our favorite spot at home. We love every detail, from the elegant pergola to the cozy firepit."
A backyard makeover is a full outdoor living renovation that reworks the whole space at once, the pool, the kitchen, the shade structure, the hardscape, and the landscape, instead of one feature at a time. We design and build all of it in-house with a single team, so the pieces are planned together and finished together. Most makeovers move from 3D design to completed build over a few months.
What A Full Makeover Actually Changes
A makeover is different from adding one feature. It rethinks how the entire yard works, looks, and flows, then rebuilds it as one coordinated project rather than a series of disconnected upgrades that never quite match. As a full-service outdoor living company, we deliver custom outdoor living solutions that treat the yard as one space, which is the difference between a yard with a nice pool in it and a backyard that works as a single outdoor room.
A full outdoor living renovation usually touches several of these at once, which is why designing them together matters:
- The pool or spa, whether a new build, a resurface, or a redesign of the deck around it
- An outdoor kitchen or grill island for cooking and entertaining
- A pergola, pavilion, or shade structure to make the space usable in the heat
- Hardscape: patios, pavers, decking, walkways, retaining walls, and fire features
- Landscape, turf, and planting that frame the space and soften the hardscape
- Lighting, water features, and smart controls that tie it together for evening use
Design Comes First, Then The Build
Every makeover starts with the design, because reworking a whole yard without a plan is how projects run over and pieces end up fighting each other. Our outdoor living designers lay the full space out in 3D first, so you see how the pool, kitchen, shade, and landscape sit together before any demolition starts. This is how outdoor living spaces hold together, planned as a whole rather than assembled piece by piece. You walk the design, adjust it, and approve it, and only then does the build begin.
Designing the whole space at once is also what protects the budget and the timeline. When one team plans the pool deck, the kitchen utilities, and the landscape grading together, the trades are not tearing out each other’s work, and the finished yard reads as one space instead of a collection of separate projects.
Good outdoor living space design also works with the site rather than against it. Where the sun sits in the afternoon decides where shade structures and seating go, prevailing breezes decide how the space is oriented, and the existing grade and drainage decide where hardscape and planting beds sit. Planning these at the design stage is what keeps the finished yard comfortable to use, not just good to look at.
One Team From Design Through Construction
We are a design-build team, so we design and build the whole backyard transformation in-house, rather than acting as a general contractor who subs the pool to one company, the kitchen to another, and the landscape to a third. One team means one point of contact, one schedule, and one crew accountable for how the finished space fits together. It is the reason the pool deck meets the patio cleanly and the kitchen ties into the shade structure instead of sitting beside it.
Because the same team handles design, construction, and installation, the plan that gets approved in 3D is the plan that gets built, without the gaps that appear when separate contractors hand work back and forth.
The difference shows up in scope. Many outdoor-living firms build one or two things well, turf and a pool, or hardscape and a pergola, and subcontract the rest. A full makeover that includes a pool, an outdoor kitchen, a shade structure, hardscape, and landscape needs a team that self-performs all of it, so the pool crew and the kitchen crew and the landscape crew are working from one plan and one schedule rather than three.
Every Part Of The Yard, Built Together
A makeover pulls in whichever services the space needs, each designed to work with the others rather than bolted on afterward.
Pools And Spas
New pool construction, resurfacing, and the deck and coping around it, designed as the anchor the rest of the yard is built around.
Outdoor Kitchens
Built-in grills, bar seating, and weather-rated cabinetry placed where they serve the pool and patio, not tucked in an unused corner.
Shade Structures And Pergolas
Louvered and solid-roof structures and shade solutions that make the outdoor living space usable through the heat of the day, tied into the kitchen and seating areas.
Hardscape, Landscape, And Lighting
How A Makeover Comes Together
A full renovation runs in clear stages, so you always know what happens next.
- Design consult and site assessment: we measure the space, talk through how you want to use it, and note grade, drainage, and access.
- 3D design: the whole yard is laid out so you can see and adjust the pool, kitchen, shade, hardscape, and landscape together before anything is built.
- Permits and engineering: we handle the permits, engineering, and utility coordination the build requires.
- Construction: one crew builds the makeover in sequence, from demolition and grading through the pool, hardscape, structures, and finishes.
- Landscape, lighting, and walkthrough: planting, turf, and lighting go in last, then we walk the finished space with you.
Seeing The Work Before You Commit
A makeover is a large project, and the best way to judge a team is to see finished yards and the materials up close. Homeowners can walk completed project galleries and, at the showroom, see and handle the actual pool finishes, pavers, cabinetry, and lighting that go into a build, so the choices are made in person rather than from a brochure. The full space is laid out in 3D before construction, so the design is settled and approved before any demolition begins.
Why Homeowners Choose Our Team
We design and build the entire makeover under one roof, with our own crews rather than subcontractors, so one team owns the result. Every project is laid out in 3D before the build, and homeowners can walk the largest outdoor-living material library in the region at our showroom to choose finishes, pool materials, cabinets, and lighting in person. Our work has earned national pool and industry awards, and decades of building across this region mean we plan for the grade, drainage, and coastal conditions a makeover has to survive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Included In A Backyard Makeover?
A full makeover can include a new or resurfaced pool, an outdoor kitchen, a pergola or shade structure, hardscape like patios and pavers, fire features, landscape, turf, and lighting. The point is that these are designed and built together as one space rather than added separately over time.
How Is A Makeover Different From Adding One Feature?
A single-feature project adds a pool or a kitchen to the yard as it is, while a makeover reworks the whole space so every part fits together. Designing the pool, deck, shade, and landscape at once is what keeps the finished yard reading as one room instead of a set of mismatched additions.
Do You Design The Space Before Building It?
Yes. Every makeover starts with a 3D design of the whole yard, so you can see how the pool, kitchen, shade, and landscape sit together and adjust the plan before any work begins. The design you approve is the plan the build follows.
Do You Use One Team Or Subcontractors?
We design and build the whole makeover in-house with our own crews, rather than subbing each piece to a different company. One team means one schedule and one crew accountable for how the finished space fits together.
How Long Does A Full Backyard Renovation Take?
Most makeovers run a few months from approved design to finished build, depending on the scope, the pool, permitting, and site conditions. We map the schedule stage by stage before construction starts so you know what to expect.
Do You Handle Permits And Engineering?
Yes. We handle the permits, engineering, and utility coordination a full renovation requires, and we plan for grade, drainage, and coastal conditions so the finished space holds up.
Can You Renovate An Existing Backyard, Not Just Build New?
Yes. Many makeovers rework an existing yard, resurfacing or redesigning the pool, replacing dated hardscape, and reworking the landscape, while reusing what still works. We assess the current space first and build the plan around it.
Where Do I Start If I Only Know Part Of What I Want?
Start with the design consult. Bring whatever you have, a single idea or a full wish list, and the designers build a plan around your space, how you want to use it, and your priorities, so you see the whole makeover before committing to any one piece.
