About This Mesa Home

These Mesa customers wanted a modern pool design to match the look of their new home. Geometric design elements run throughout the yard with the step pads, spa, decking and artificial turf. The pool and spa sit in the focal point of the yard allowing the vibrant design elements to be seen from the inside of the home.

This modern backyard features a linear pool design with floating steps to the zero edge spillover spa. The raised water wall with three scuppers creates a nice transition to the natural elements that lay beyond the backyard. There are destinations for entertainment and recreation throughout this modern outdoor living environment.
