Water trapped beside the deck
New deck edges and altered grades can interrupt the original surface route.
Finish the space around the water and enjoy the entire backyard.
An existing pool can become harder to enjoy when the surrounding yard holds water, settles beside the deck, loses irrigation coverage or no longer supports the way your family uses the space. Muddy lawn strips, narrow walking routes, aging beds and exposed equipment can make the backyard feel incomplete even when the pool itself is in good condition. PLS Landscaping reconstructs everything surrounding the pool through drainage, grading, paver extensions, concrete additions, artificial turf or sod, irrigation modifications, landscape beds, trees and privacy screening, lighting and decorative gravel. We plan water movement, base construction and finished elevations first so every new surface connects cleanly with the existing pool, patio, house and equipment area.

Settlement, aging materials, changed family needs and years of runoff can leave low areas beside the deck, damaged lawn sections, narrow access and planting that no longer provides useful screening. Reconstruction begins by evaluating those conditions around the existing pool before selecting new finish materials.
New deck edges and altered grades can interrupt the original surface route.
Years of use, shade and surface settlement can leave thin grass, low areas and uneven transitions beside the pool.
Heads, valves or pipe may conflict with the pool, new paths, planting beds and reduced turf areas.
Unfinished soil between the house, pool equipment and deck creates mud, poor access and difficult transitions.
Coordinated renovation scope
The project can include one repair or a complete surrounding renovation. The scope is sequenced around drainage, access and the finished height of each material.
Catch basins, channel drains, downspout connections, solid conveyance pipe and grading can be combined according to the source and available outlet.
Paver patios, large-format walkways and stepping pads can extend usable space beyond the existing pool deck and connect seating, gates and equipment.
A prepared and compacted aggregate base supports turf in narrow or high-use areas. Perimeters, seams and transitions are coordinated with permanent surfaces.
Disturbed soil is cleared and prepared before finish grading and sod installation. The lawn elevation must work with drainage and adjacent deck edges.
Existing zones can be rerouted or adjusted for new turf limits, planting beds and hardscape. Coverage is tested before the final surface closes the work area.
New beds, soil preparation, borders and shrubs organize the pool perimeter while protecting walking clearance and equipment access.
Concrete pads, walkway sections and patio additions can expand stable surfaces where the planned elevation, reinforcement and drainage support the installation.
Trees and screening plants are selected around mature size, pool clearance, sunlight, irrigation and the views the homeowner wants to soften.
Low-voltage lighting can define steps, walkways, beds and specimen plants while transformer capacity and wire routes are coordinated with the renovation.
Prepared gravel areas can finish narrow strips, paver joints and low-maintenance zones using separation fabric, suitable base and edge restraint where applicable.
PLS construction and finished work
These photographs show site preparation and completed surface options. Each finish depends on base preparation, compatible elevations and a planned route for water.




Construction sequence
Review elevations, runoff, deck edges, utilities, irrigation, access and mature trees.
Define drainage routes, finished elevations, paver geometry, lawn limits and bed locations.
Complete applicable drainage and irrigation changes while the site remains open.
Prepare and compact bases, set pavers, restore grade and construct bed borders.
Install turf or sod and planting, test applicable systems and inspect transitions.
Enjoy the investment beyond the water
A pool should not be surrounded by mud, unstable stepping areas or damaged grass. Coordinated construction creates cleaner routes for bare feet, dependable space for chairs and family gatherings, and lawn or turf areas where children can play between swims. It also gives pets a defined surface away from loose soil and helps the finished backyard feel like one complete investment.

Yes. This service is designed for homeowners keeping their existing pool while rebuilding the surrounding drainage, elevations, access, hardscape, lawn or turf, irrigation and planting. The pool and permanent deck edges become fixed reference points for the new construction.
Depending on elevations and access, the solution may include surface grading, catch basins, channel drains or solid pipe. The collection point and responsible discharge route must be evaluated onsite.
The correct surface depends on sunlight, drainage, traffic, irrigation, maintenance expectations and how the space will be used. Artificial turf requires a prepared base; sod requires suitable soil, sunlight and consistent watering.
Yes, when modifications are included in the scope. Heads and lines may need to be relocated, capped or rebuilt so lawn and planting zones match the renovated surface areas.
Yes, when the route, base preparation, edge restraint and elevations are compatible. The transition must also account for drainage and permanent deck edges.
Pricing depends on demolition, access, excavation, drainage and irrigation work, base preparation, measured material quantities, disposal, planting and restoration. An onsite evaluation is required to define the construction scope.

We will review the pool perimeter, elevations, runoff, access, irrigation conflicts and the surfaces your family wants to use before defining the recommended construction scope.
