Project Overview
Stability meets style in this breathtaking Elmira backyard transformation.
When a homeowner in Elmira contacted us about their newly installed pool, they were facing a significant problem: inadequate property retention. The original pool installation overlooked the critical need for stabilizing the sloped yard, resulting in a structurally unsound and unusable space. We were tasked with starting from scratch, designing and constructing a backyard retreat that not only resolved these issues but created a stunning oasis overlooking the pond.
The Challenge
The original pool installation left the property unstable, with no measures to address the necessary retention for the sloped yard. The client wanted:
- A safe and stable outdoor space.
- A re-installed pool with proper structural support.
- A functional yet stylish design to enjoy the pond views.
Our Solution
We approached this project with a focus on safety, stability, and modern aesthetics:
- Complete Removal and Redesign: We removed the improperly installed pool and began with a comprehensive design to address retention challenges and maximize the yard’s potential.
- Tiered Retaining Walls: Modern retaining walls were installed along the fence line, creating stability and visual appeal while defining the yard’s tiers.
- Reinstallation of the Pool: With proper retention in place, we re-installed the pool, ensuring it was structurally sound and beautifully integrated into the landscape.
- Enhanced Outdoor Features: The space was completed with a modern patio and coping, sleek gardens, and a cozy fire pit area, all designed to highlight the pond view and provide functional zones for relaxation and entertaining.
“The entire experience was remarkable. There were no surprises at the end, and we were blessed to have an amazing team that worked on our yard and continues to care for it monthly. We recommend LP to everyone—they really work with us.”
The Results
The transformed backyard is now a safe and elegant retreat. The tiered design, reinforced by modern retaining walls, stabilizes the space while adding visual dimension. The re-installed pool and surrounding features seamlessly blend style and function, creating a tranquil escape with picturesque views of the pond.
Conclusion
From problem-solving retention issues to creating a stunning backyard retreat, this Elmira project is a testament to the value of thoughtful planning and skilled execution.

Our project was quite substantial with many large elements. (Structures, hardscape, gardens, drainage.) We were a bit nervous to get going. The LP team managed everything with ease and expertise. Communication was clear and they were always available with any questions. The design process was fun and collaborative. The work site was clean and organized. The staff are genuinely lovely people and we will quite miss having them around. We couldn’t be happier. They helped us create something thats both beautiful and functional - better than we could have imagined.

We recently worked with Landscape Plus to revamp parts of our back yard. The project involved the installation of a new patio, a smaller patio for a sauna, a sauna, and a complete redo of backyard landscaping. Landscape Plus did an outstanding job. Our family could not be happier.

Starting with my first phone call to LP Landscape Plus, my experience with this company was very positive. Jeff arrived within a week for a consult. He listened well, and created a wonderful design for my yard. The day before construction was to begin, staff came to introduce themselves and review plans. Mark and Paul were very approachable, and were willing to go beyond what I had expected. I would highly recommend this company; I'm sure that my neighbours would also.
