Pools Are Just the Beginning

A pool is more than just a centerpiece for your yard. It should be an integrated feature of your outdoor living space. When you start conceptualizing fire pits, outdoor showers, patios, and retaining walls, your yard has the potential to become a year-round, private getaway you can have pride in. At Riverside Pools, we want you to say “Wow!” when you walk outside to your pool and outdoor living space. As your all-encompassing outdoor living company, Riverside Pools has everything you need to create a memorable outdoor living space. Here are our most popular options

Fire Pits

A fire pit is a warm feature that can help tie a yard together into something noteworthy. They are practical on cooler evenings, and they’re also fine conversation starters as well. We want your outdoor living space to be an area where you and your family host guests, celebrate life, and make memories for years to come. If there’s one element that a fire pit brings to outdoor living, it’s the atmosphere. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of a fire pit because there’s a stark difference between one bought from a store and another that’s crafted to match the rest of your space. A craftsman’s touch is what you get when partnering with us at Riverside Pools. Each brick, stone, or paver needs to be cut and shaped so that they seamlessly fit around your fire pit. Regardless of if you’re looking to use real wood or gas, a fire pit needs to be about form as well as function. From squares or circle shaped pits to entire outdoor fireplaces, this is one element that will allow you to sit back and admire your outdoor space.

Outdoor Kitchen

What better way to cook and enjoy a meal, with family and friends, than doing so while enjoying the great outdoors? We’re talking about a full-blown gourmet kitchen right near your pool, patio, and other outdoor features. Riverside Pools recognizes that the art of grilling and cooking for family and guests outdoors is synonymous with modern American culture. When deciding on adding one into your yard, it’s important to work with a team that knows how to do the job correctly. Each kitchen that we create is one that, like our pools, is custom-tailored. Be it a simple built-in grill or a full-sized flat top griddle for hibachi-style cooking, we’ll create you a set that complements your yard and becomes the talk of the entire neighborhood.

Outdoor Showers

Being in Southeastern North Carolina, enjoying the beach is an integral part in the lives of many. This makes outdoor showers one of the most popular outdoor features. Outdoor showers can also be convenient for a rinse-off after working outside, pool clean up, or even use as an outdoor changing area. They are a very common feature included in many projects.

You don’t’ have to worry about extra pipes, plugs, drains, or plumbing either. Because when you work with Riverside Pools, we’ll handle all the necessary elements that you need for the ideal shower enclosure.

Retaining Walls

Whenever you construct or terraform the areas around an outdoor pool, you must make sure the foundation is rigid and strong. The purpose of a retaining wall for your outdoor space is to help support vital structures and prepare other locations for landscaping. Having a retaining wall helps to shape your space and create room for flowerbeds, flatten sloped areas, and provide extra structural support for pools.

Retaining walls can be as varied as the yard you’re placing it in, and no two are truly alike. They do, however, need to be constructed of exceptionally strong materials to provide the same basic function of structural integrity.

Patios

Backyards are important in American outdoor living, as they provide a private area to congregate and enjoy life together. A custom pool, fire pit, or grill are just some of the features that tie everything together into one spectacular space. The Patio is the main leisure area for most homes today. While choosing the right patio for your custom outdoor living space may seem daunting, rest assured that our team will give you 100% of our dedication and guidance. Improving the layout of your outdoor living space can increase the value of the property you’re looking to build upon. We will work out a detailed plan of what you want, where the construction is headed, and what the result could be. At Riverside Pools, we take the unknowns out of the equation so that you can focus on looking forward to that outdoor paradise you’ve always wanted. We’ll take the finest pavers and raw materials, combine them with our expertise, and weave in custom features that will take your space to the next level.
