This project was a complete backyard renovation and pool remodel in Paradise Valley AZ. The existing landscaping was overgrown and the style of the pool was dated. The homeowner wanted to add usable spaces for entertaining and activities. We achieved just that by adding a swim up bar with a sunken ramada as well as a bocce ball court, 7 Cup putting green, and half-court basketball pickleball court. Spaces for a Sauna and cold plunge were also created by the master suite exterior door.
This was a fairly extensive pool remodel. After demolishing the back end of the pool, we added a sun shelf and a swim up bar. New pebble tec Pebble Essence in Vivid Shores was applied along with new 1 in round waterline tile and 1×1 translucent glass tile for the step trim. All of the in floor cleaning heads were upgraded as well as all of the Pentair pool equipment. Copper scuppers were used on the walls of the ramada to add the sounds of moving water.
This homeowner is a graduate of University of Illinois so we did a custom logo on his court. This court is a combination half basketball pickleball court. A 72 in glass adjustable Spalding backboard with net allows for basketball, pickleball, volleyball and badminton play.
This custom sized bocce court was bordered with composite decking material white the playing surface is turf with custom painted stripes. The interior of the court is lined with low voltage strip lighting along the whole perimeter.
This 3000 sq ft putting green has 7 illuminated cups and pins. This custom putting green has a first cut apron along with a longer turf fringe to mimic a true course putting green.
This ramada was built to mimic the style of the home. The tile roof, heavy timber tongue and groove ceiling and Taj Mahal granite all lend to the interior design of the home. We added a large iron chandelier as well as pendants over the swim up bar. The floor is made of the same travertine as the surrounding pool deck. A stainless-steel mist system was added to keep the temperatures low for maximum comfort.
Lighting is a key element in landscaping projects. We used many different types of lighting to produce a spectacular vision at night. Spotlights, path lights, in tree down lighting and LED strip lights were all used in strategic locations to ensure a usable space at night. The ambiance of this yard is so inviting. FX Luminaire lights in dark bronze compliment the style and architecture.
This project received almost all new vegetation. We imported Italian Cypress from California to ensure they were all of similar size and shape. Dwarf lantana, sky flowers and fire bushes are just some of the plants used to add color and texture. Artificial turf with a steel border was used to ensure plenty of space for the dogs to play! All other areas were refreshed with new rock.
This Paradise Vally remodel completely changed the whole feel and function of this outdoor space. Once overgrown and uninviting, it is now a resort style yard that offers something for everyone day or night.
We engaged them to remove and replace our backyard patios and install a beautiful pergola. Tony oversaw our project, and he was exceptional! I had ideas but Tony brought wonderful suggestions regarding both design and materials. Our backyard has truly been transformed.

Wow! What an amazing job they all did (Chris, office staff & laborers)! They were all so professional and hard-working and made sure every detail we wanted done was taken care of in a timely manner. We also added some additional work in the front yard once they got started. Our back yard is so beautiful and now a true outdoor living space. We still can't believe it's our yard when we look out the windows
Chris emulated the project perfectly by getting Phoenix permits handled, tapping into a pre-existing gas line, extending the gas 70 feet and building a beautiful flagstone fire pit with boulders complete with new electrical outlets. The project turned out exactly as expected and we're pleased with a whole new area of our yard. Additionally, as the projected wrapped up there was a loosely-related electrical issue and he responded quickly to the problem after he had been paid, which is uncommon and highly appreciated.
I 100% recommend Lone Star for your landscaping needs! They are easy to talk to, professional, and very knowledgeable about how to create a fabulous looking yard. Looking forward to seeing how it will look in a year once the plants have had a chance to grow a bit!
