Paver Patios & Poolscapes

Southern Love Landscaping & Design installs paver patios, pool decks, and surrounding hardscape areas around existing pools throughout Austin and Cedar Park. That work includes layout planning, material selection, grading, and installation, along with the transitions that connect the pool area to the rest of the yard. Poolside surfaces have to handle water, foot traffic, and heat, so base preparation and drainage matter as much as the pavers themselves. Our team plans the surround so the pool feels like part of a finished outdoor space rather than a separate feature.

Pool installation falls outside our scope, so Southern Love Landscaping & Design does not build or install pools themselves. What we do build is everything around them, including paver patios, walkways, planting areas, lighting, retaining walls, and the hardscape that ties the pool into the property. Many homeowners bring us in after a pool is installed, when the surrounding yard still looks unfinished. We also work alongside pool builders when the two projects run at the same time.

Detailed poolscape projects can include a 3D rendering through our paid standalone design service, which shows the layout, materials, and surrounding features before construction begins. Seeing the pool surround in context makes it easier to settle decisions about paver type, seating placement, and how the space connects to the house. The rendering comes with up to two revisions, followed by finalized 2D plans. Smaller patio projects often move straight to a detailed quote instead.

Drainage, lighting, and planting are the three elements that most often need to be planned alongside a paver patio or poolscape. Hardscape changes how water moves across a property, so grading and drainage are part of the plan rather than an afterthought. Lighting extends how long the space is usable after dark, and planting softens the edges of large paved areas. Handling these together avoids tearing back into finished work later to add what was left out.

Southern Love Landscaping & Design installs paver patios and builds poolscapes throughout Austin, Cedar Park, Lakeway, West Lake Hills, Tarrytown, Steiner Ranch, Leander, Round Rock, and Georgetown. Rocky soil and sudden heavy rain are common across Central Texas, which is why base preparation and drainage get so much attention on these projects.
