For homeowners with a big dream of a built-in pool and only a small side yard to work with, this makeover by Georgia Luxury Pools elevated the outdoor space to something elegant and fun.
This was a new build from start to finish. The design had a 10' x 18' rectangle “spool” or small dipping pool that is a fully functioning hot tub with jets and a plunge pool. The pool has a small tanning ledge, with bubblers and eight therapeutic deck jets. The yard has new decking, a water fountain feature, and enclosed wall with two entry gates that lock with a code, and an outdoor kitchen area. A farm to table garden along with tree buffer wall create a dreamy setting for entertaining.
David Brown of Georgia Luxury Pools and Patrick Ferguson from Southern Landscapes and Designs, whose seamless partnership has redefined the meaning of backyard environments, collaborated on this project.
“We were able to expand the yard by making the pool self-supporting,” notes David. “We gave them a place to entertain friends and family as well as a really nice water feature.”
Southern Landscapes and Designs installed the necessary retaining walls to level usable areas, added landscaping, irrigation, a vegetable garden, outdoor lighting, and a beautiful custom medieval iron doors for entry into pool area. “The homeowner has complete outdoor year round living space for all seasons,” says Patrick.
For another project in Alpharetta, the two worked together to right the wrongs of a previous pool installation and to add more usable space on the top deck. The equipment was upgraded, new LED low voltage pool lights installed and new tile with waterproofing and new pebble add polish to the look. “I love the larger spill over as well as the ledge stone on the wall. It's a much cleaner look,” says David. They also added an energy-efficient pump and a new automation for easy mobile control of the pool.
Patrick's team replaced old retaining walls and built a putting green, a deck with a roof for year-round outdoor living, a fireplace and TV for fall football games, and an outdoor kitchen to keep the crew fueled.
David Brown's journey into the pool industry began at a remarkably young age, influenced by his family's deep-rooted legacy in pool construction.

In 2022, David left the family pool business and founded Georgia Luxury Pools to create his vision for a better pool company, driven by a passion for delivering unparalleled customer experiences and crafting award-winning designs.
Patrick's journey began at Pike Nurseries at age 15, where his love for landscaping blossomed. His career took him across the country, building golf courses before returning home to Georgia.
