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 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.
