Outdoor Dreams specializes in creating complete outdoor living environments, with a primary focus on fiberglass and gunite swimming pool projects. These spaces often include everything needed to fully enjoy the outdoors, such as patio and pool decking, fire features, outdoor kitchens, landscaping, low-voltage lighting, and structures like cabanas and pool houses.

In addition to full-scale projects, we also take on a wide range of standalone outdoor improvements, including:

• Patios, decks, and porches of all sizes and complexity

• Cabanas and pool houses for homes with existing pools

• Outdoor kitchens and masonry fireplaces added to existing spaces

Our goal is to meet homeowners where they are, whether you’re starting from scratch or enhancing an existing outdoor area, while still bringing a thoughtful, design-forward approach to every project.

The only exceptions are landscape-only and design-only projects. While landscaping is an important part of many of our builds, we focus on projects that involve construction elements, and our design services are offered as part of a complete project rather than as a standalone service.

Yes, absolutely.

While Outdoor Dreams is known for designing and building complete outdoor living environments, we regularly take on smaller projects as well. Many clients come to us for projects focused on a single feature such as:

• A swimming pool with minimal decking

• A patio or outdoor living space

• A deck or porch

• An outdoor kitchen or fireplace

Our streamlined design process allows us to approach both smaller projects and larger environments with the same thoughtful planning and attention to detail.

At Outdoor Dreams, we take pride in performing as much of the work as possible with our own in-house team.

Our team includes:

• Pool installers

• Masons

• Hardscape specialists

• Carpenters

• Electricians

Using in-house crews allows us to maintain greater control over quality, communication, and scheduling throughout the project.

From time to time, we do partner with trusted subcontractors, typically when specialized work is required or when additional support helps keep projects moving efficiently. These partners are carefully selected professionals who share our commitment to quality craftsmanship.

To begin the design process, we typically need the following items:

• A signed design/build contract and deposit

• A copy of your property plat or survey

• Septic plans, if applicable

• Any HOA guidelines or requirements, if applicable

These documents help streamline the design, permitting, and approval process.

If you happen to have house plans, those can also be helpful during the design process and when developing 3D renderings that accurately reflect your home and property.

We use a structured, milestone-based payment schedule that aligns with the progress of your project. This approach keeps everything predictable and ensures you’re only paying as meaningful work is completed.

This schedule is representative of a typical project. Actual payment terms may vary based on the specific scope and complexity of your build, and your exact payment schedule will always be clearly outlined in your contract.

Yes, we offer financing. Your Project Consultant will walk you through the available options in your Discovery Consultation and/or Project Planning Meeting.

Outdoor Dreams is currently celebrating its 21st year in business.

The company was founded in 2005 as American Dream Landscaping and has evolved alongside the industry over the years. What began as a traditional landscape company quickly transitioned into a design/build firm focused on hardscapes, and in 2014 expanded into larger, multi-element outdoor living projects, including swimming pools.

It’s been a long and often challenging journey, but one that has given us a deep understanding of our clients and the decisions they face along the way. Through it all, Outdoor Dreams has continued to grow by staying committed to hard work, quality craftsmanship, and honest, transparent communication with our clients.

Yes, we are insured.

We are a licensed Class A contractor and Electrian. Our license numbers are: (link to DPOR website?).

Absolutely.

We enjoy partnering with talented architects and designers and are always open to collaborating on projects where a design has already been developed.

For these projects, we typically begin by using the provided design to prepare an initial construction estimate. Once approved, we conduct a site analysis to review grading conditions and confirm the design can be built as intended.

From there, we work with the homeowner, and the original designer if desired, to make any adjustments needed to ensure the project is structurally viable, aligned with the budget, and ready for construction.

Homeowners typically choose Outdoor Dreams for three main reasons.

Turnkey Service

Our projects are managed from start to finish by one team. Instead of coordinating multiple contractors, clients work with a single company that oversees the entire project—from design through construction.

This is especially valuable for pool projects, which often involve five or more specialized trades working together.

Design-Forward Approach

We take a thoughtful design-first approach to every project. Rather than simply building what a homeowner asks for, we help develop creative solutions that balance personal style, property constraints, and practical functionality.

This ensures the final space feels intentional and well integrated with the home.

Quality Craftsmanship

Our team is made up of skilled craftspeople who take pride in their work. Every project is carefully engineered and built with attention to detail, from the structural foundation to the final finish work.

The result is a space that is not only beautiful but built to provide years of lasting enjoyment.
