Hardscapes

Maxalea’s strategic design of this multi-level pool deck creates a flow of outdoor “rooms” while navigating an eleven foot elevation drop from the house to the pool area below. With the help of specialty installers, Maxalea built terraced spaces that blend seamlessly into the landscape. The inclusion of plantings – such as the bed of ferns on the lower level – adds lush softness to the stone, wood, and metal materials. Each landing offers a unique, tranquil setting to relax with a book, a cold beverage, and/or a good friend!
