One backyard, rebuilt from the ground up.

This documented King Pools renovation begins with the original small pool, follows complete demolition and construction of the new pool, then continues through the covered outdoor-living and kitchen work that completed the backyard.

Verified project evidence

The existing pool came out. A complete backyard plan took its place.

The original backyard had a compact rectangular pool surrounded by a broad concrete deck and a large stretch of unused lawn. King Pools removed the pool and surrounding hardscape, opened the site, and rebuilt the water space around a larger custom layout with a shallow lounging area, raised feature wall, multiple waterfalls, and a new deck plan.

The project continued beyond the pool. The covered area became a finished outdoor room with stone masonry, a television wall, powered shades, a serving island, sink, refrigeration, storage, and two built-in grills with dedicated vent hoods. The completed photographs show the pool and outdoor-living areas working as one connected backyard.

What the photographs verify

Visible features and construction context from this project.

Complete demolition

The original pool and surrounding concrete were removed so the replacement could be planned around a new footprint instead of the old shell.

New custom pool

The rebuilt pool adds a shallow lounging area, bubblers, a raised water-feature wall, multiple waterfalls, and a broader relationship to the yard.

Expanded hardscape

New deck construction connects the home, pool, water features, gathering areas, and landscape edges into one usable plan.

Finished outdoor kitchen

Stone masonry, dual grills and vent hoods, sink, refrigeration, storage, bar seating, television wall, lighting, and powered shades complete the covered outdoor room.
