An Outdoor Living Space Designed for Your Life
When you choose Coastal Pools for backyard design services in Delaware and Maryland, our team takes care to understand how you want the space to improve your daily life. Your goals for your outdoor space may include:

Getting to know you is as essential to the backyard design process as taking measurements. Based on your lifestyle and your design preferences, your outdoor space may incorporate elements such as:
- Outdoor kitchens and dining areas
- Pergolas and shade structures

- A spa or hot tub
- Lounge and seating areas
- Lighting and entertainment features, such as speakers or movie screens
Outdoor Kitchens: Refined for Effortless Living
Bring the heart of the home outside with a fully customized outdoor kitchen, where meals and conversation unfold in the same space. Designed with both elegance and function in mind, an outdoor kitchen brings ease and connection to every occasion.
Outdoor kitchens may include:
- Built-in grills, pizza ovens, refrigeration, and prep stations for outdoor cooking
- Expansive countertops and bar seating for effortless hosting and gathering
- Premium, weather-resistant materials designed for long-term durability
Pergolas: Architectural Shade, Perfectly Engineered
Define your pool’s outdoor living area with a pergola that blends modern design with intelligent functionality. We’ve partnered with StruXure for pergolas that create a striking visual anchor while offering shade, ventilation, and weather protection.
Pergolas may include:
- Adjustable louvered systems for refined control of light and shade
- Integrated lighting and fans for extended seasonal comfort

Fire Pits: Warmth That Invites Connection
Fire has a natural way of drawing people together, turning simple evenings into shared experiences. Fire pits create a sense of warmth and intimacy in the outdoor environment, offering a focal point for connection, conversation, and lingering moments.
Fire pits may include:
- Custom fire feature designs in modern or classic styles
- Integrated seating areas that encourage connection and conversation
- Durable, refined materials designed to complement surrounding spaces
Outdoor Fireplaces: A Statement for Elevated Evenings
Outdoor fireplaces introduce architectural presence and quiet drama to exterior spaces, shaping them with scale and permanence. They create a strong visual focal point that enhances the overall composition of the outdoor environment across every season.
Outdoor fireplaces may include:
- Sculptural, built-in fireplace designs with extended hearths
- Seamless integration with patios, pools, and lounge areas
- Stone, stucco, or masonry finishes tailored to the home
Hot Tubs: Spa-Level Relaxation at Home
Hot tubs introduce a restorative layer to outdoor living, offering a quiet space to unwind in every season. In partnership with Aspen Spas, Coastal Pools designs spa experiences that feel both intentional and seamlessly integrated into the overall outdoor environment.
Hot tubs may include:
