A beautiful pool deserves an equally impressive surrounding space. At Desert Tropics Custom Pools, we design and build complete outdoor living areas that extend your home's comfort and style into the backyard. From outdoor kitchens and dining areas to pergolas, fire pits, and lounge spaces, we create environments where you'll want to spend time year-round.

Outdoor living is about creating functional, comfortable spaces outside your home. It combines hardscaping, shade structures, cooking areas, seating, lighting, and landscaping into a cohesive environment. Whether you want a simple patio extension or a full outdoor entertainment area, thoughtful design ensures every element works together and complements your pool.
Common Outdoor Living Elements:
A well-designed outdoor living space expands your usable square footage and enhances how you enjoy your home. It's where meals are shared, guests are entertained, and quiet evenings are spent by the fire. In desert climates, the right design maximizes shade and comfort so you can enjoy your backyard even during warmer months.
