01Your complete backyard
A pool is only the beginning. We consider the spa, patios, planting, lighting, shade, fire, and entertaining spaces as one connected design. See the proportions, explore the materials, and refine the details in 3D.
Let's design your space02Your owner-builder vision
Take an informed lead on your build. Start with a defined design and construction plans, then use the same scope to request comparable bids. Support can include permitting and engineering coordination, subcontractor quote requests, and progress reviews, as agreed for your project.
You select, schedule, and pay the trades. We help you prepare for the decisions along the way.
Explore the owner-builder path03Your design partner
Give your customers a vision they can understand. Outsourced design support helps pool builders and remodel professionals with 3D concepts, cinematic presentations, and overflow projects, without adding an in-house design position.
Discuss a builder partnership04Your plans & next steps
Turn an approved concept into useful project documentation. Construction plan support can cover the pool, yard and utilities, layout, and plumbing header, with engineering submittal coordination available for the agreed project scope.

A little more clarity
Before
we begin.
Can you design more than the pool?
Yes. Your design can include a spa, decking, patios, shade structures, outdoor kitchen, fire features, landscape zones, and lighting direction, planned as one complete outdoor space.
Do I need to choose a builder first?
You can begin with a design before selecting your builder or subcontractors. A defined scope gives each company the same starting point for pricing and makes their proposals easier to compare.
Are construction plans and permit support available?
Yes. Plan packages and permitting or engineering submittal coordination are available according to the scope of your project. We will discuss the documentation and support you need before you begin.
Can you support my pool building business?
Yes. Spy Designs supports builders with custom 3D concepts, client presentations, remodel ideas, and overflow design work. Reach out with your project needs to discuss a partnership.
What should I send to get started?
Start with your property location, a few photos or measurements, inspiration, must-have features, budget direction, and timeline. We will follow up to discuss the right design path.
