Beyond the Pool

For many people, the backyard has become the focal point for entertaining. As a result, most of our projects go way beyond “just a swimming pool.” Consider how much more fun your home will be with some of these options:

We can take care of any and all of the above for you. For more examples of our work, click any of the photos below.

Outdoor Kitchens

Nothing completes your outdoor area like the ability to cook without running in and out of the house all the time. We suggest you devote an area of your new outdoor living space to culinary endeavors, based on the number of people you plan to entertain.

Fireplaces, Fire Pits, Stonework and Masonry

An outdoor fireplace or firepit can be a great addition to an outdoor living space. It can be a focal point to formalize your outdoor living room. And everyone knows that gathering around the campfire is a great way to entertain and interact with friends and family.

There are limitless possibilities for firepit and fireplace designs and materials, so take a look at some of these examples for some ideas. Whatever you can envision, we can build.

Arbors, Pergolas, Cabanas

Would you like a little shade in your backyard area? An arbor or pergola can create a wonderful living area that stays cool and breezy, while still letting in plenty of light and fresh air. (And with the right landscaping touch, it can become a natural “green” arbor.)

On the other hand, maybe you’d like an outdoor living area that you can use any time, regardless of the weather. If so, a cabaña may be right for you.

Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting will have a dramatic impact on the look and beauty of your home. It can make an average area look like a work of art, and bring a sense of warmth and intimacy to any space. It can also let you “recover” space that would be lost to the nighttime darkness.

Keep in mind that outdoor lighting doesn’t have to be expensive. It just has to look good. Call us to discuss your outdoor lighting options. (916) 638-8810

Architectural Collaborations

Wells Pools frequently works with home architects to create stunning Waterscapes that complement some of Northern California’s most beautiful homes. The following collaboration was completed in 2016 in the Davis, CA area. Notice how the open pool area transitions into a semi-enclosed spa area, which then transitions directly into the house through a trifold door/wall.
