A pool can be the heart of an outdoor oasis, but today’s backyards go far beyond swimming. The latest trend in outdoor design is about creating a seamless, fully integrated living space that combines the pool with features like outdoor kitchens, shaded lounges, fire pits, and custom lighting. At Essig Pools, we collaborate with homeowners to bring these spaces to life, crafting outdoor areas that feel like an extension of your home and are perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying year-round.
Outdoor Kitchens: Cooking and Community Combined
An outdoor kitchen brings the experience of cooking and dining outside, making it easy to entertain while enjoying fresh air and great company. From built-in grills and prep counters to beverage coolers and pizza ovens, Essig Pools designs kitchens that flow with the pool area, turning it into a gathering hub for family and friends. Each kitchen is customized to fit your lifestyle, blending cooking convenience with a stylish design that enhances your backyard.
Shaded Lounges: Comfort for Every Season
To truly enjoy your outdoor space, comfortable, shaded lounging is a must. Pergolas, retractable awnings, and sun umbrellas offer a relaxing retreat from the sun, allowing for easy transitions between swimming and lounging. Essig Pools designs shaded areas that seamlessly blend with the pool surroundings, so you can enjoy relaxation in any season.
Fire Pits and Fireplaces: Bringing Warmth and Ambience
A fire pit or fireplace adds a cozy, inviting vibe to your outdoor space, making it usable year-round—even on cooler nights. From modern fire bowls to traditional stone fireplaces, Essig Pools incorporates fire features that balance style and functionality, creating the perfect gathering spot for evening chats, roasting marshmallows, or just unwinding by the fire.
Custom Lighting: Day-to-Night Transformation
Outdoor lighting does more than brighten the space; it sets the mood. With lighting tailored to your pool and surrounding areas, Essig Pools creates ambiance and beauty that transforms your space from day to night. Underwater LEDs, pathway lights, and ambient fixtures allow for evening swims and nighttime gatherings. We use smart lighting options that let you control brightness and colors, enhancing every corner of your outdoor retreat.
Crafting Your Personal Backyard Retreat
At Essig Pools, we understand that an integrated outdoor living space should be personal, beautiful, and functional. It’s a place where you can entertain, relax, and connect—customized to reflect your style and enhance your home’s outdoor experience. Each element, from kitchens to fire pits, is designed with intention and artistry to make your pool area feel like a natural extension of your home.
Let Essig Pools help you create a backyard that’s more than just a space—it’s your personal retreat
