Poolscape planning
Pool landscaping that makes the water look like it belongs there.
Poolscape planning coordinates the pool with decks, lighting, structures, outdoor kitchens, grading, drainage, hardscaping, and retaining-wall decisions. The key decision is sequence: resolve grade, drainage, circulation, and needed utility routes before finalizing surfaces, structures, lighting, or gathering areas.

Plan beyond the water
The best pool landscaping starts with how the space must work.
Start with the functional layers: movement at the water's edge, grading and drainage across the property, evening lighting, shade, and places to gather. Wave can coordinate confirmed work such as pool decks, hardscaping, grading, drainage, pool-area lighting, pergolas or pavilions, and outdoor kitchens as one pool-environment plan. Those functional decisions create the frame for later material and planting choices.
Project cost depends on size, materials, features, and whether the scope includes design and permitting coordination or build-only work; the pool cost guide owns the detailed budget discussion. Custom 3D design is available as a paid add-on when visualizing the coordinated concept would help before construction.
Poolscape guides
Explore the parts of a backyard design with a pool.
Use the three guides to separate distinct decisions before they are coordinated into one plan: structures set an outdoor room’s role, size, placement, and seating; outdoor kitchens organize appliances, storage, preparation, and utilities; retaining-wall and grading work addresses elevation changes and planned water movement.
Outdoor kitchens by the pool
Place cooking, serving, and gathering zones around the way people will move through the yard.

Retaining walls and grading
Resolve elevation changes, drainage, and retaining decisions before the hardscape layout is settled.

Lighting, heat, and controls can be coordinated early.
Wave offers in-pool and pool-area lighting, pool heaters, and automation or smart controls. Explore the choices that can affect equipment, routing, and how the setting works after dark.

Use the poolscape conversation to connect the water to the property.
Start with Wave Outdoors Pools when you want to discuss the full pool project, then browse the project portfolio for visual references to bring into that conversation. The portfolio is inspiration, not a promise that a particular feature or scope is included.
One coordinated scope
Bring the water and the property into one plan.
Bring the yard, priorities, and known constraints. We can discuss which decisions belong together before construction begins.
