Nolascapes Pool & Outdoors LLC designs and builds swimming pools for homeowners in New Orleans and the surrounding parishes, from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. Our work covers new pool design and construction, the renovation of existing pools, and the decks, patios and outdoor features around them, in New Orleans, Uptown, Lakeview, Metairie, Kenner, River Ridge, Harahan, the West Bank, St. Bernard and St. Charles.

Whether the project is a new pool, an old pool that needs work or a full backyard redesign, the pages below cover each stage, so you can start with the question you have right now.

A Pool and Its Surroundings

A pool is rarely the only thing being built. Patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features and landscaping come with it, and we plan them as one project so the finished yard works as a whole. The patio, for example, has to serve both pool access and seating, and the lighting and built-in features extend its use after sunset. Planning them together keeps the materials consistent and gives the layout a natural flow from one area to the next. How that planning works is described in Pool Planning and Custom Pool Design.
