ASPEN WITH DIAMOND FINISH

Waterline Tile

Soft Gray Tile

The waterline tile is a soft gray, which works with both the Diamond finish and the light-colored patio. It adds definition at the pool’s edge without introducing another strong color or a busy pattern.

Because the tile stays close in tone to both the water and the patio, the pool edge looks clean and visually uninterrupted.

Pool Cover

Recessed Automatic Pool Cover Track

You can see the recessed cover housing at the pool edge. This is how you keep safety high and maintenance conveniently under control without sacrificing design. The automatic cover track sits low and integrated at the pool edge, so it handles a practical need without taking over the look of the installation.

That choice matters in a backyard like this one, where the clean rectangle does a lot of the design work. Keeping the cover system visually minimal helps preserve that sharp outline.

Coping

Flush Modern Edge

The pool edge looks ultra-modern because the coping stays square, straight, and flush with the surrounding deck. That decision gives both the pool and spa a crisp architectural frame without introducing another decorative layer.

It also keeps the eye moving. Instead of stopping at a contrasting edge, the deck and coping read as one continuous surface around the water.

Patio

Large-Format Light Pavers

The patio uses large-format rectangular pavers in a light stone look. Their size and linear layout reinforce the length of the pool and make the whole space feel broader and more orderly.

The pale tone does more than brighten the yard. It also reflects light back toward the water and keeps the backyard feeling open instead of dense or visually busy.

Spa

Matching Square Spa

With this separate Square Spa positioned on-axis with the pool, the whole backyard feels symmetrical. The matching spa gives the backyard a second focal point while reinforcing the same clean geometry as the pool. Its placement along the centerline helps the whole layout feel balanced and deliberate.

Using the same coping and waterline treatment ties the spa to the pool visually. The bubbling water adds motion and sound, but the material palette stays controlled.

Seating

Minimalist Wood-Look Chaises

The seating stays simple: low-profile wood-look frames, light slings, and small accent tables. Those choices echo the light-and-dark contrast already established by the masonry, trim, and fencing.

The furniture placement also helps the backyard breathe. The chaises frame the spa and pool without crowding the edges or interrupting circulation around the patio.

Retaining Walls

White Painted Brick

The retaining walls solve the grade change and define the pool area at the same time. Their painted brick finish gives the space a bright perimeter and helps the yard feel enclosed without feeling closed in.

They also contribute to the overall color balance. The white surface reflects light back into the space and helps the water read cleaner and more luminous.

Landscaping

Evergreen Columns and Rock Beds

The planting design relies on structure rather than fullness. Narrow upright evergreens create rhythm along the pool, while low shrubs and grasses keep the planting beds neat and scaled to the hardscape.

The rock beds support that same clean approach. They give the edges a finished look and avoid the looser, messier feel mulch can bring near a pool deck.

Fencing

Black Aluminum Perimeter Fence

The black aluminum fence protects the pool area without calling attention to itself. Against the tree line, it nearly disappears.

That makes it a strong fit for a backyard with long sightlines. The fence does its job while letting the pool, spa, and landscaping remain the focus.

Outdoor Living Area

Covered Pavilion with Dark Beams

The covered outdoor living area anchors the end of the pool closest to the house and gives the backyard a clear gathering destination outside of the water. Its white brick connects to the retaining walls, while the dark beams and trim bring contrast and definition.

That combination helps the whole project feel complete. The pool sits within a full outdoor environment for dining, lounging, and gathering, not just an isolated patio.
