Estancia pool builder & outdoor living.
View-first pools for Scottsdale's desert-mountain sanctuary.
Built for the way Estancia lives.
Estancia sits against the McDowell Mountains with some of the most dramatic view corridors in North Scottsdale. The homes here are designed around the landscape — and the outdoor living spaces should amplify that relationship, not compete with it.
Our Estancia projects lean into the desert: boulder integration, low-profile water features, materials drawn from the surrounding rock and vegetation, and lighting that lets the mountain glow after dark.
What we build here, and why it works.
Negative-edge pools sequenced to the McDowell Mountains
Boulder and rock integration into spa, deck, and water features
Desert-tone plaster and natural stone coping
Subtle landscape lighting that respects dark-sky standards
- —Estancia's design guidelines emphasize desert preservation and low-profile structures — we engineer for both.
- —We coordinate with the community's architectural review and your landscape architect on plant palette and grading.
The full outdoor experience, built by AE.
From first call to final swim.
The path looks the same in every neighborhood. What changes is what AE plans around — your lot, your HOA submittal package, and how the yard actually gets used.

On-site walk in Estancia. We talk goals, lot constraints, sun, sight lines, and budget range — before any drawings.
- 023D design & proposal
A full 3D model with materials, finishes, and an itemized fixed-price scope. No surprise exclusions.
- 03Permits & HOA submittal

One AE crew, one project manager, weekly schedule updates. Punch list cleared before final payment.
Set in your signed proposal.
Pool and non-pool projects follow different milestone schedules, and the exact terms for your scope are documented in your written agreement before work starts. Pool projects use a milestone schedule aligned with Arizona ROC requirements.
