Resort-Style Living in Your Own Backyard

Step Outside to Swim in the Pool, Grill a Couple of Steaks

After working on their house for six years to make it their long-term home, owners Jack and Sue decided they needed a "superb outdoor living space that they wouldn’t have to work on again." They reached out to DiSabatino Landscaping, Inc., in Wilmington, Delaware, and sat down with Landscape Design Consultant Ivan Mazur. The couple explained that their schedules left little time for a trip to the beach or a vacation. In addition to Jack’s 60-plus-hour workweek in the financial field and Sue’s full-time caring for kids and home, the couple also has a very robust social life culminating with a spectacular annual party they host for family, friends, coworkers and clients.

The list of everything they needed in their outdoor space included a pool, a full-service bar, grill area, a pool house, a powder room, two open-air shower/changing stalls, a fire pit and fireplace, plentiful lounging and dining areas, a hot tub and a high-fidelity sound system. The project was decidedly a "masterpiece that would feel like the clients' own personal resort, important for a busy family that has to plan a beach trip weeks in advance."

“Envision an afternoon at your favorite poolside bar or club down the shore,” Ivan says. “Their whole yard is now a picturesque retreat for relaxation and the best place to grow up and have fun as a kid. The parties they will have will be par for the history books.”

DiSabatino Landscaping has been creating superior landscaping and outdoor living spaces for clients throughout the Delaware Valley for more than 25 years. The company has an extensive portfolio of custom outdoor living spaces encompassing pools, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, outdoor structures, walls, steps and more.
