ONLY YOU KNOW HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE EACH DAY, AND AND AFTER A CAREFUL INTERVIEW, YOU WILL REALIZE WHAT IT MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU IN THE DESIGN OF YOUR YARD SPACE. OUTDOOR DESIGN COMPANIES CAN BE VERY DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING A SPACE THAT FITS YOUR OWN UNIQUE NEEDS.

Developing your property into the ideal outdoor living space takes time. It takes preparation, research, planning, and maybe even a little self reflection. That is, if you choose Mirror Lake to do the job.

Whereas the average landscaping company will ask you exactly what you want, your experience with Mirror Lake will be noticeably different. And after designing and developing thousands of landscape and pool designs across four decades, who are we to question their process?

It starts at the first meeting with a prospective client. So don’t be surprised if you’re not asked where you want that fire pit or how big you want the patio. This isn’t how they operate. They’re thinking big picture.

Do your parents visit often? The answer to that may affect the material and grade of the walkway. Afterall,  it doesn’t matter how beautiful a design is if Mom and Dad are narrowly avoiding distaster every time they drop by.

Are you an early riser or a night owl? The folks at Mirror Lake will take note of that. Why? Because after the dust settles, and you finally get to walk out into your new backyard paradise, hot coffee in hand, you don’t want to discover that your view of the sunrise is blocked by those new privacy hedges.

Is your home the place where all the kids gather?  Or is yours the home where all the neighbors come together in your front yard?  

The answers to these and many more questions are critical to the Mirror Lake design process. Their team of expert craftsmen, designers, and engineers will use all of this information as a framework to operate from. This foundation will be shaped by certain restrictions, but it will also shed light on opportunities for creativity and imagination.

It wouldn’t be fair to call Mirror Lake Designs a pool builder or even a landscaping company. They’re something more. They are architects of the garden lifestyle.
