Our Turnkey Service—
From Design Through Completion

The Garden Gate and Artistic Pools and Spas are family-owned. We value clear communication, thoughtful designs, and a finished product that enhances your home and lifestyle. Our goal is straightforward: deliver well-built, lasting outdoor spaces — and make the process easy along the way.

1

Custom Designs

We will assign a designer who will guide you through the design and material selection process. We will meet you at your home to gather information and get photographs, then present the initial design to you in our showroom. As part of our service, we will assist you in the selection of plants, lights, patio materials, pool finishes, pool coping, and related items, which are incorporated into the final design.

2

Construction Plans

Approved plans are drafted in AutoCAD with precise dimensions, plan elevations and section drawings where required. Plans include all design elements —pool, patio, planting, hardscape, lighting, turf, and specialty features. Material schedules include a comprehensive list of all required building materials, their quantities,
and specifications.

3

Professional Proposals

We submit a comprehensive written proposal for the installation of your pool and landscape in a clear format with detailed pricing information. Changes to the work can be made at your request, which is documented with a written change order specifying the change and the cost.  

4

Build With Confidence

After completion, the team conducts a walkthrough with you. Systems are tested, and manufacturer warranites and manuals are delivered to you. Our team will show you how to use your pools, spa, water feature, outdoor kitchen, and how to operate the WiFi connected smart controllers.

Turnkey Landscape and Pool Design and Construction — Managed by One Team.

See Our Work. Imagine What’s Possible.

Successful pool and landscape projects require significant coordination between the homeowner, pool contractor, landscape contractor, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, engineers, homeowner associations, and government agencies in charge of permitting.

Without someone managing each part of the process, or by allowing them to work independently, the process often becomes slower, more expensive, and more stressful than it needs to be. Misaligned schedules, conflicts, and unclear responsibilities can result in rework or compromises to the finished product.

We remove those roadblocks by ensuring everyone is working from the same plan and timeline. Our role is to integrate all parties into a unified process, design, and timeline so that details are addressed before construction begins.

As a licensed pool, landscape, and general contractor, we offer a true turnkey solution. You have one point of contact for design and one point of contact for construction — reducing miscommunication and making us fully accountable from start to finish.

When possible, we build pools, spas, and landscapes at the same time, but in some cases, a phased build-out makes more sense. You may choose to complete the pool now and the landscape later, or vice versa. In those situations, our design accounts for the full vision from the beginning, so later phases integrate seamlessly without unnecessary demolition or rework.

The result is a finished space that is highly functional, looks intentional, and lasts for years — whether built all at once or in carefully planned stages.

Oro Valley

Services

Landscape, Hardscape, Kitchen, Fire Feature, Turf, Pool and Spa

The homeowner’s objective was to preserve the natural desert views and create a calming outdoor environment with generous space for entertaining. A restrained palette of materials, minimal landscaping, and low-profile planters were utilized to integrate the project with existing rock outcroppings, mature trees, and distant saguaros. The result is a beautiful space that feels natural and open.

This backyard was designed to be a flexible retreat for family life, capturing the homeowners’ vision of an open, low-maintenance space where their grandchildren could swim, play, and spend time with friends. The layout balances open space and structure without feeling overbuilt. From the pool and spa to the outdoor kitchen and slim view fencing, every element has been carefully placed to maintain open space and encourage free movement. The result is a backyard that feels complete and comfortable without being crowded.

The homeowners desired a space that felt clean and modern. To achieve it, this backyard was designed as a quiet extension of the home — a streamlined layout providing clear views, requiring minimal upkeep, and designed to feel calm and open. The design balances functional areas for cooking, lounging, and gathering, while keeping the high-end materials visually subtle. The result is a streamlined space that feels naturally connected to its surroundings.
