Visit our Peoria outdoor living design center.
See materials, finishes, lighting, glass, turf, pavers, and outdoor living options in person before making decisions for your backyard.
The Peoria design center, inside and out.
Stop by during the day or after-hours — the storefront stays lit. Inside, the design table is where every project actually starts.
Photos lie. Pavers don't.
Every backyard decision — paver color, turf pile, pool tile, lighting temperature, glass hardware — looks different in person than on a screen. The showroom is where you stop guessing and start choosing.
And you get to meet the team that would actually design and build your project. One conversation, one accountable group, in one room.
- Paver samples (travertine, porcelain, concrete)
- Artificial turf samples — pet, kid, and putting-grade
- Pool tile and coping examples
- Lighting samples — AE LEDs trim, landscape, and accent fixtures
- Glass fencing systems and hardware finishes
- Outdoor kitchen finishes — stone, stainless, counter materials
- Pergola and shade material samples
- Design ideas, mood boards, and project plan sets
- Project photos and recent build galleries
Working pools, kitchens, and lit hardscape — at full scale.
Out back: real water on real tile, real pavers underfoot, a working outdoor kitchen, sail shades, putting green, and lighting you can see in actual desert dusk — not a render.
Phone photos from the yard — what you'll actually see when you stop by.
The lighting plan, the way you'd actually live with it.
Pergola downlights, paver step lights, planter uplights, colored LED on the pool — turned on at dusk so you can decide what feels right before it's installed in your yard.
Kitchens, finish walls, tile boards, and pool edges under showroom lighting.
This side of the yard shows the material decisions up close — cooking zones, stacked stone, coping edges, sample walls, and the way hardscape reads once the lights are on and the surfaces are wet.
The full display pool, lit and color-cycling the way yours would.
Same pool, different angles and color modes — bench seating with under-cap blue LED, raised glass-tile spillover wall, paver decking with inlaid turf strips, and the spa tucked beside it. This is what "see it before you build it" actually looks like.
Come prepared — get more out of the visit.
You don't need to bring anything formal. But the more context you can share, the more useful the conversation gets.
- Photos of your backyard (phone photos are perfect)
- Property survey if you have one
- HOA design guidelines if applicable
- Inspiration photos — Pinterest, Instagram, screenshots
- A rough budget range — even ballpark helps
- Your must-have features and your hard nos
- Any questions you've been saving up
A quick fit check protects your time — and ours.
Before we schedule a full design consultation, we ask homeowners to use the Instant Estimate tool or share enough project details so both sides can confirm the project is a good fit.
That step isn't a barrier — it's a kindness. It means when we sit down together, we already know your project type, your rough budget, your timing, and your priorities. The conversation skips the small talk and gets straight to your yard.
It also protects you from spending a Saturday on a builder who isn't the right match. If our scope and your project don't line up, we'll say so early and point you somewhere that fits better.
An accountable team — not a sales floor.
You'll sit down with a real AE designer — the person who will design your plan if you move forward. On many visits the project manager or owner is on site as well. No revolving handoffs.
We sit down and talk through what you want to build, what your lot supports, and where to start.
Touch the actual pavers, turf, tile, coping, and lighting you're considering. Photos lie — these don't.
Schedule a site visit, get a design started, or walk out with a clearer plan than you came in with.

By appointment, Mon–Sat
Tell us what you're considering and when works — we'll confirm a time.
What to expect when you stop by.
The Peoria location is both AE's office and the customer-facing showroom. The two operate on different rhythms — here is how each works.
- Office hours
- Monday–Friday, standard business hours. The office is staffed for design coordination, project management, and back-office work. Drop-in office traffic should call ahead so the right team member is available.
- Showroom visits
- By appointment, Monday–Saturday. Appointments are recommended because a designer prepares samples and project notes in advance. Walk-ins are accommodated when a designer is free.
- Construction work hours
- AE crews work daylight hours that comply with the noise and construction ordinances of the city the project is in. Specific start and end times are documented in your project plan.
- Parking
- Free on-site parking is available directly in front of the design center. Larger vehicles and trailers fit along the side of the lot.
- Accessibility
- Single-story entry with step-free access to the design center and seated design table. Restrooms on the same level. Let the team know in advance about any accessibility needs and we will set the room up accordingly.
- What to bring
- Phone photos of your yard, any property survey or HOA design guidelines, inspiration images, a rough budget range, and your must-haves and hard-nos. Anything you cannot bring can be emailed ahead.
Do I need an appointment?+
Yes — showroom visits are by appointment so a designer is ready for you. It also means we can pull samples for your project type in advance.
How long is a typical visit?+
Plan for 45–75 minutes for a real design conversation. Quick sample browses can be shorter.
Do I have to commit to anything?+
No. Showroom visits are part of the design process — no pressure, no commitment.
Can my spouse / partner come?+
We strongly recommend it. Outdoor living decisions go better with both decision-makers in the room.
Where exactly is the showroom?+
Our design center is in Peoria, AZ at 9715 W Peoria Ave, Peoria, AZ 85345.
