The Project Story

“We wanted a space where our kids could play — and our friends would never want to leave.”

— The Homeowners

A Family Paradise

When the homeowners of this property approached us, they had a clear vision: create the ultimate family backyard — a space where children could make summer memories while adults could relax and entertain in style. The result is this award-winning retreat that seamlessly blends family-friendly function with refined design.

The Pool & Water Features

The centerpiece of this transformation is a stunning fiberglass pool complete with an integrated slide — the perfect feature for keeping kids entertained all summer long. The pool is surrounded by elegant stone columns topped with decorative urns, adding a touch of classical elegance to the contemporary design. The expansive pool deck provides ample space for lounging, with room for the whole family and guests to spread out comfortably.

The Elevated Fire Pit Lounge

Beyond the pool area, we designed an elevated lounge space centered around a custom stone firepit. This gathering spot features comfortable seating with signature red Adirondack chairs, creating an inviting atmosphere for evening conversations and marshmallow roasting. The raised position offers beautiful views across the entire property while providing a sense of separation from the active pool zone.

Expansive Patio & Hardscaping

The layered patio design uses premium stone pavers in complementary tones, creating distinct zones while maintaining visual cohesion throughout the space. Curved pathways guide movement naturally through the landscape, connecting the pool area, firepit lounge, outdoor kitchen, and open lawn spaces. The thoughtful layout ensures easy flow whether hosting intimate family dinners or large summer parties.

The Outdoor Kitchen

No resort-style backyard is complete without a proper outdoor kitchen. We installed a fully-equipped cooking station positioned for optimal entertaining — close enough to serve the pool area while maintaining separation from the water. The kitchen features built-in grilling, prep space, and storage, all finished with matching stone veneer.

Designed to Grow With Your Family

Every material and detail was chosen with longevity in mind. This backyard isn’t just built to impress — it’s built to last through years of birthday parties, summer BBQs, and quiet family evenings. The low-maintenance design ensures the homeowners spend more time enjoying their retreat and less time maintaining it.

The Amber Court transformation stands as a testament to what’s possible when vision meets craftsmanship — a true backyard paradise that the whole family can enjoy for generations to come.

What the Client Said

“Our backyard has become the neighborhood destination. The kids spend entire summers in the pool, and we’ve hosted more gatherings than we can count around the firepit. What impressed us most was how the Lawn ‘N’ Order team thought about how our family actually lives — they designed spaces that work for a quiet Tuesday evening just as well as a big weekend party. Six years later, everything still looks and functions beautifully. This was the best investment we’ve ever made in our home.”
