The Problem

The homeowners had a large, sloped backyard that had gone largely unused for years. Previous landscaping was overgrown, the existing pool and patio were cracked and dated, and the property lacked any real outdoor living functionality. Despite the home's prime Buckhead location and generous lot size, the backyard felt disconnected from the house and offered no space for entertaining, relaxation, or family use.

  • Severely sloped terrain made the yard nearly unusable
  • Cracked and deteriorating existing pool and concrete patio with no cohesive design
  • No functional water features despite ideal Georgia climate
  • Overgrown landscaping obscured the property's natural beauty
  • Zero outdoor entertaining or dining areas
  • Backyard felt completely disconnected from the home's interior

The Approach

White Glove Construction began with a comprehensive site evaluation and 3D design consultation. Working closely with the homeowners, we developed a master plan that addressed every challenge — from demolition of the existing pool, to grading, drainage, material selection, and feature integration. The design was engineered to work with the natural slope rather than fight it, creating distinct living zones connected by flowing hardscape.

Full demolition and removal of the existing deteriorated pool structure
Precision grading and drainage engineering for the sloped lot
Custom gunite pool with integrated tanning ledge and bench seating
Raised stone-veneer spa with cascading spillover into the main pool
Full 3D design rendering for client visualization before breaking ground
Built-in outdoor kitchen with grill station, bar seating, and covered pavilion
Fire bowl features flanking the pool for evening ambiance
Professional landscape lighting throughout the entire space

The Result

What was once a neglected, unusable backyard is now the crown jewel of the property. The completed space functions as a true outdoor living room — with defined zones for swimming, dining, cooking, and lounging. The homeowners now use their backyard daily and have hosted multiple gatherings since completion. Property value increased significantly, and the project has become one of White Glove Construction's signature residential showcases.

  • A fully functional resort-style backyard completed in 14 weeks
  • Seamless indoor-outdoor flow from the home to pool and entertaining areas
  • Estimated 15-20% increase in overall property value
  • Homeowners report using the outdoor space 5+ days per week
  • Featured as a portfolio highlight for White Glove Construction
  • Zero structural or drainage issues post-completion
White Glove Construction turned our backyard into something we never thought was possible. From the first design meeting to the final walkthrough, every detail was handled with care. We essentially gained an entirely new living space.
