Why AE

One plan. One accountable team.

Know who will help bring your plans to life. Meet the people behind AE, review our credentials, and see how we coordinate the work.

One coordinated design plan

We plan the full outdoor space before construction starts so the layout, utilities, drainage, shade, lighting, and materials work together.

Specialized divisions working together

Pools, landscape, hardscape, lighting (AE LEDs), and glass fencing (Sonoran Glass) under one coordinated schedule.

Transparent planning and written scope

Realistic planning ranges early, written scope before construction, and the milestones documented in your signed proposal.

Local leadership and long-term support

Arizona-based team and ownership available after the build for warranty, care, and follow-up.

AE self-performs much of its work and coordinates qualified specialty trade partners where the project requires them.

Local leadership

David Bell — President of the Southwest Hardscapes Association. 13 years on the board; 15 years involved.

We didn't build a company that gives back. We built a company on giving back.

Arizona is where we work, raise families, and give back—from Shop With a Cop and Day of Giving to backpack drives and donated outdoor spaces.

Realistic Planning Ranges

Honest numbers before you sign.

We publish realistic planning ranges by service in our pricing guide. Site conditions, selections, engineering, access, permits, and scope all affect final pricing — your written proposal controls the actual investment.

Ranges last reviewed June 2026. See /pricing-guide for the most current numbers.

What happens next?

AE reviews your project basics, recommends the appropriate next conversation, and discusses scope and next steps with you. Submitting is an inquiry; it does not reserve a consultation.

Turf & Pool Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often.

Straight answers sourced from AE’s build guides. Jump to a category or click through for the full breakdown, pricing, and timelines.

How much does it cost to build a pool in Phoenix?

A real, permit-pulled pool in the Phoenix metro starts around $65,000. Most families invest $85,000–$120,000 for a complete pool with decking, equipment, and basic landscape restore. Resort-scale builds with spas, water features, and large travertine decks run $150,000–$300,000+. Every AE pool contract uses a 15/25/25/25/10 milestone draw schedule.

How much does it cost to install artificial turf in Arizona?

Typical AE turf planning ranges $11–$18 per square foot installed. Base material, depth, compaction, drainage, and infill are selected for the site conditions and documented in the written proposal.

How long does it take to build a pool in Arizona?

From signed contract to first swim, most Phoenix-area pools take 12–18 weeks. Design and permitting usually account for 3–6 weeks, and construction takes 8–14 weeks through dig, steel, plumbing, gunite, deck, equipment, and interior finish.

How long does artificial turf last in Arizona heat?

Product lifespan varies based on product selection, exposure, traffic, pets, drainage, maintenance, and manufacturer documentation. AE selects turf, base, and infill for the site conditions and documents them in the written proposal.

Can you install artificial turf around a pool in Arizona?

Yes — artificial turf around an Arizona pool works when the right yarn, infill, and drainage are chosen. AE plans turf placement around splash-out, chlorine exposure, and glare risk so it stays usable and doesn't void the manufacturer warranty.

What are the pool fence code requirements in Arizona?

Arizona's statewide pool-barrier statute, ARS §36-1681, applies within its own scope and exceptions and addresses enclosure height, climbability, openings and self-closing, self-latching gates. Cities, counties, HOAs and insurers can add requirements, so the property owner confirms what applies with the municipality/AHJ before design is finalized — read the statute at https://www.azleg.gov/ars/36/01681.htm. AE installs to the approved written scope and does not guarantee approval, and no barrier replaces active adult supervision — always watch children around water.
