Outdoor Living & Backyard Transformations

From custom outdoor kitchens to elegant pool houses, we design and build the complete backyard experience.


One Builder. One Cohesive Vision.

The most spectacular backyards aren't pieced together by five different contractors. They are designed from the ground up with a single, cohesive vision. When the pool, the outdoor kitchen, the lighting, and the landscaping are all planned together, the result is a seamless environment that feels like a private resort.

At Scott Payne Custom Pools, we don't just build the pool and leave you to figure out the rest. We handle the entire outdoor living transformation. This means no scheduling conflicts between different companies, no finger-pointing when something goes wrong, and a final result where every element complements the others perfectly.

The Owner-Direct Difference: You won't be handed off to a commissioned salesperson. You'll work directly with Scott Payne from the initial design consultation through the final walkthrough. That's how we ensure the vision we discuss is exactly what gets built.

Designed for How You Live

Your backyard should be an extension of your home — a place where you can entertain, relax, and create memories. Whether you envision hosting large summer barbecues, enjoying quiet evenings by the fire, or having a dedicated space for the kids to play, we design the environment around your lifestyle.

We take into account your home's architecture, the natural terrain of your property, and how you plan to use the space. The result is an outdoor living area that not only looks stunning but functions perfectly for your family.
