Full resort backyard on a one-acre PV lot. Everything was sequenced to one AE crew — pool, hardscape, kitchen, pergola, and lighting — so the homeowner had one phone number from demo to final walkthrough.
Ranges shown reflect actual pricing on this build. Your project will vary by lot conditions, finish selections, and HOA requirements — we publish ranges so you have a real starting point, not a teaser number.
The homeowners wanted a backyard that performed at the level of a private resort — entertaining for 30, daily use for two, premium finishes that would still feel current in fifteen years.
Town of Paradise Valley setback, height, and lighting ordinances. Acre lot meant drainage and grading had to be engineered before any hardscape was placed. Coordination with the homeowner's interior designer on finishes.
AE took the build end-to-end with one project manager. We permitted, engineered, and sequenced the whole yard as one project — and used a single material palette so the patio, kitchen, pergola, and pool deck all read as one continuous space.
Full spillways tuned for soft ambient water sound.
Full BBQ, side burner, refrigeration, sink, and stone counter for prep + plate-up.
22' × 14', sized for dining + lounge.
Evening focal points along the pool perimeter.
Engineered to PV standards without compromising sightlines.
Pool, hardscape, structure, and landscape on independent scenes.
At the resort scale, every trade decision compounds. Self-performing the core build — pool, hardscape, structure, kitchen, lighting — with vetted partners only for rebar, excavation, gunite, and interior finish is what keeps the project on one schedule and one finish standard.
