For this residential project in Winter Garden, the homeowners were looking to transform their backyard into a place that felt like a private retreat—somewhere equally suited for quiet evenings as it was for hosting friends and family. Living in the Orlando area, outdoor space plays a central role in everyday life, and the goal was to create a pool environment that felt cohesive, comfortable, and visually refined without overwhelming the property.
They partnered with Artesian Pools to bring that vision to life. From the beginning, the team focused on balance, shaping a pool and spa design that delivered visual interest, functional features, and a layout that fit naturally within the home’s existing footprint.

Designing a Backyard That Feels Intentional
The design phase centered on how the homeowners wanted to use the space day to day. The team selected a raised spa with a spillway to create a natural visual transition into the pool while providing a dedicated relaxation area. Two raised waterboxes introduced height and movement, helping define the pool area without closing it off.
Material choices played an important role in the overall feel. The mini pebble interior finish gave the water a clean, polished appearance, while bullnose coping provided a smooth, finished edge around the pool. Surrounding the pool, the Random Heritage paver pattern introduced subtle variation and texture, helping the deck feel warm and inviting rather than uniform.
To support year-round comfort, the design incorporated a panoramic screen enclosure with an Elite Roof. This allowed the homeowners to enjoy the pool area with added shade and protection, while still maintaining an open, airy view of the backyard.
Bringing the Pool and Spa to Life
Once construction began, the project moved through a carefully coordinated sequence over four months. The team formed and installed the inground pool and raised spa according to the planned dimensions and depth transitions, ensuring the space felt natural for both swimming and lounging.
As work continued, the crew integrated each feature in sequence, installing the raised spa, waterboxes, and spillway—from installing the raised spa and waterboxes to installing the spillway that visually connects the spa to the pool below. The paver deck was then laid in the Random Heritage pattern, creating a cohesive flow around the pool perimeter.
As the finishing touches came together, during the final stages, the crew installed LED lighting to enhance the pool’s appearance after sunset and completed the panoramic screen enclosure to frame the entire space. The project obtained all required permits and inspections, culminating in the final certificate of completion.
A Finished Space Designated for Everyday Enjoyment
The completed backyard now offers multiple ways to enjoy the space. The pool provides ample space for swimming and play, while the raised spa offers a comfortable spot to unwind at the end of the day. The spillway and waterboxes add gentle movement and sound, creating a calm atmosphere throughout the area.
With the screened enclosure and thoughtfully designed deck, the homeowners can comfortably use the space for casual afternoons, evening gatherings, or quiet moments outdoors. The result is a backyard that feels both functional and inviting—an extension of the home rather than a separate feature.
