From Backyard Dreams to Poolside Bliss
We specialize in swimming pool designs. We are licensed landscape architects with over 50 years experience designing award-winning swimming pools and the surrounding landscapes. We start with a landscape master plan that integrates your new swimming pool with the many other aspects of the landscaping, such as: patios, walks, steps, walls, plantings, privacy, grading, drainage, and landscape lighting, to name a few. Further, we provide exciting ideas to make your swimming pool unique and special to you, such as adding spas, waterfalls, sun decks, and/or custom shapes.
We make the process fun and easy! We love what we do! We are experienced at swimming pool design and enjoy managing all aspects of your swimming pool landscape project. Swimming pools are major additions to your landscape. Just as you would hire an architect to design an addition on your home, it is important to hire a landscape architectto design your swimming pool and backyard landscaping. After the design phase, we install all aspects of your new landscape.
Transform Your Backyard into a Private Paradise
— The CLC Pool Advantage
On-Site Design Consultation
We determine the optimal location for your new swimming pool in your backyard. First, we interview you and your family to learn about the lifestyle you would like to accomplish in your backyard, such as maximizing lawn areas, or patios areas, or installing a butterfly garden for the children. Second, we study site conditions, such as grades, sun angles, and off-site views. Third, we research zoning guidelines that are particular to your site, such as setbacks and impervious coverage allotment. Taking all of the information into account, we prepare a landscape master plan that locates your new swimming pool in the most ideal location in your backyard.
Personalized Pool Concepts with Budget Transparency
We can explore swimming pool designs at a variety of budgets. The design phase is the most important time for determining a budget.
When designing your swimming pool and the surrounding landscape with CLC Landscape Design, we explore a variety of design and material options so you can make an informed decision.
We can explore gunnite vs. vinyl pools, as well as, a variety of pool sizes and shapes that effect the budget. In all cases, we always present design and material options that will give you a beautiful landscape project.
From Waterfalls to Layouts — Explore the Possibilities Before You Build
We can prepare multiple design options for your swimming pool design. If you would like, we can explore in our designs several options, such pool shape, pool location, and pool accents like waterfalls. We can develop several landscape plans for you and after we present each option to you, you can select your favorite. Each design option will be presented with a budget, so you can make an informed decision about which options you would like to proceed with.

“We wanted to write to tell you how pleased we are with the work done by CLC this past year to re-landscape our property. We are most appreciative of the efforts of everyone who helped to transform our yard into such a lovely environment. Special thanks to you and your architect team for your efforts in designing a plan that met our needs, especially given the restrictions of the site. Also, we could not have been happier with the work done by Ty in developing the rock walls and the excellent job done by the mason who put in the Belgian block curb. We particularly want to commend John for his work in creating a beautiful front walkway and back patio as well as his care in placing all of our plantings for optimal effect. He was always interested in our input and most pleasant to deal with. Every person who worked on this project was most professional and the end result is a yard we are sure to enjoy for many years to come.”

“We recently completed a landscape project and had the pleasure of working with Ty of CLC Landscape Design on the implementation phase of a landscape project. Specifically, our project involved re-design of existing front, back and side beds to include new plantings as well as transplanted shrubs from various point in the yard. We also re-designed a walkway to create a softer garden-like atmosphere.
Ty did a wonderful job incorporating out vision with his keen sense of plant placement and design/layout. He was infinitely patient as we changed our minds and tweaked the location of the plants within the beds. As implementation unfolded, he made several suggestions that enhanced the project even further than the original design. Customer service was clearly at the top of Ty’s list! We are happy to recommend Ty and CLC Landscape Design without reservations.”
