Complete Poolscape Landscaping Solutions
Custom Pool Area Design & Consultation
Our experienced designers will listen to your ideas and goals, then craft a custom plan that maximizes beauty, usability, and flow around your pool. We help you choose complementary materials, layouts, and features that reflect your style and budget.
Hardscaping & Paver Installations
Add elegance and structure with high‑quality paver stones, pathways, and patios. These elements not only elevate the look of your pool area but also improve safety and accessibility.
Privacy Screens & Living Borders
Poolside privacy can make your retreat feel more relaxing and secluded. We install attractive screens, plantings, and landscaping features that frame your pool area without blocking views or natural light.
Outdoor Enhancements
Want to take your poolscape further? Incorporate complementary features such as lighting, pergolas, fire pits, or seating areas to enhance the ambiance and extend your outdoor enjoyment from day to night. (Tip: thoughtful lighting around plantings and walkways can transform your pool environment after sunset.)
What Our Clients Are Saying
5-Star Reviews from Homeowners
“I cannot thank you enough. From the first phone call to the completion of your work, everything not only met but exceeded expectations. Friendly, professional and timely. What more could you ask for? Highly, highly, highly recommend them. The best. Thanks so much.”
“We had our patio and landscaping done recently by DeFeos Landscaping. I strongly recommend them, as their work is excellent, with prompt responses and attention to detail. They stick to the timeline and deliver quickly with high quality once they start the work. The price is reasonable, and you can count on them for ideas on patio design. We were glad that we selected DeFeos landscaping.”
“Thrilled with our “show-stopper” patio: majestic design, quality workmanship, great value! Two green thumbs up for custom landscaping, including lavender & cherry trees! The DeFeo team is truly the best!”
“My wife and I have used DeFeo Landscaping for about 18 years now. He designed and built the skirt around our pool and a patio, using pavers in both cases, and installed several separate landscaping beds around our house over the years. We expect to do more work with Mike and his crew over the next few years. The work is top quality, his crews are efficient, neat, and knowledgeable, and he stands by his work. Mike is an excellent designer and easy to work with. I can recommend DeFeo Landscaping without reservation.”
