Award Winning Front Yard Water Feature

by Emily Thompson

We are honored to announce that we recently won an award from the Southwest Pool & Spa show. Our very own Ross Burke won the Award of Merit for Hot Tub/Spa/Water Features. The project that he designed and AquaTerra built has a very unique feature that won the recognition.

Front yards and porches are historically simple. Landscaping and pavers usually round out the front displaying beautiful curb appeal. This project, however, surprises guests and onlookers. The homeowner wanted an outdoor space to serve as an extension of their formal dining room, as well as, a semi private front courtyard space to for the family to enjoy.  They wanted a space to enjoy their front yard and interact with neighbors, while feeling comfortable and not exposed to the street. The layered, overlapping elements of the design are intended to blend with architectural design of the home. Additionally, we wanted to continue the use of stucco, steel, and ipe wood as seen on the home’s façade.

We didn’t stop there with the creativity and scope of the project. The backyard design was intended to be a modern pool with outdoor fire pit space where the family could gather. The landscaping is kept minimal to allow room for young kids to play. Trees along the back fence screen the view of neighboring properties, and lime green Sunshine Ligustrum offer a pop of color. Synthetic turf was selected to provide a clean play surface for kids, while allowing evergreen color.

Trending Now: Luxury Pools + CEO Tal Thevenot

by Emily Thompson

If you’ve ever traveled and experienced that “I never want to leave” feeling, then you will understand why so many people are requesting backyards that reflect certain resorts. We were recently featured in a Luxury Pools’ article about what is trending now. Our principle designer and CEO, Tal Thevenot, discusses that when clients bring resort photos as the inspiration for their backyard, he realizes that they are craving the resort lifestyle and feeling. That is then what the designers are challenged with when creating new designs for each client. A few of the photos below are from past projects that have had a sure theme of a specific resort and how they were brought to reality for the client.

As always, it is an honor to have our work noticed and featured, and we are thankful to have been recognized in this publication!

Looking for a resort feel only feet away from your living room? Check out more of our work here, and call us today to get your dream backyard started!

Collaborative Outdoor Design Brings Recognition

by Heather Bloem

Often times, many designers struggle working together, but for Randy Angell of Randy Angell Designs and Tal Thevenot, CEO and designer here at AquaTerra, it couldn’t be a better working relationship. The Dallas-based outdoor design executives have more than made a name for themselves working solo in the industry. Thriving on high expectations and innovative design, Randy and Tal challenge each other in a fun, healthy way. As you can see, together they continue to make waves and the final results are nothing short of breathtaking!

The Vision Behind the Design

Tal managed AquaTerra’s flawless buildout of Randy’s innovative design for this McKinney estate. Working side by side, the vision was to create a family paradise with minimal boundaries from the indoors out! The modern outdoor design includes a large pool with a lap lane, spa and water features, an outdoor living room with fireplace and tv, and an outdoor kitchen and bar with surrounding seating terraces. When designing the space, RAD was strategic in showcasing the home’s spanning greenbelt views. The stunning 6ft tall rain curtain further marries the two spaces by anchoring the surrounding structure and framing the landscape.
