The Challenge
The slate was a heavily disrupted backyard: patchwork dirt with inconsistent grades, scattered/half-demolished concrete pads, and an outdated built-in barbecue, in short, a major challenge with multiple potential points of failure. Circulation between the back door, pool, and lakeside was unclear, and the competing elevation changes created trip points, water traps, and visual clutter. It was a huge challenge: but HBC Decks love challenges! The brief wasn’t just to “fix” what was there—it was to wipe the slate clean and completely reimagine what the space could become: three distinct destinations (patio, poolside, and dock) that read as one cohesive outdoor environment. Technically, the site demanded full grade correction and drainage management away from the home and pool, selective demolition and replacement of failing concrete, and code-conscious transitions (steps/landings/rail points) that feel natural and safe. A unified material and detailing language had to tie the house, pool edge, and lakeside together while staying comfortable under Arizona sun and durable (and paw-friendly) for daily use. All of this needed to be sequenced in a live backyard—protecting the pool and lakeside edge—while delivering a cohesive, 1,000-square-foot program that felt more like a heavenly escape than a basic backyard.

The Solution
After presenting Shannon with multiple design concepts and iterations, HBC Decks reimagined every inch of her backyard and delivered the layered luxury it is today. From the very moment you open the side yard gate, the experience begins: a crisp new walkway lined with lush turf and accented lighting guides you toward the heart of the space. As you step into the backyard, the clean geometry of Trex Transcend Lineage® in Hatteras frames the pool with rich, modern tones, seamlessly tying together the patio, poolside, and dock. The patio deck, shaded by the home’s architecture, now flows effortlessly into the sunlit pool surround - inviting for both lounging and entertaining. The turquoise chairs pop against the warm composite decking, creating an instant resort-like vibe. Descend further and the journey continues to the water’s edge, where the lakeside dock extends as a final destination. With sleek black aluminum railings offering safety and contrast, the dock invites you to pause, take in the view, or step directly onto a boat. By unifying the entire property with consistent materials, precision detailing, and thoughtful transitions, HBC Decks turned what was once fragmented and outdated into a cohesive outdoor escape—luxurious, functional, and unforgettable at every step.

The Process
The transformation began with demolition of failing concrete, remnants of an outdated barbecue, and uneven hardscape. Nearly 18 inches of soil were removed in areas to correct grades and create safe, consistent transitions between the patio, pool, and dock. New engineered footings and framing were built in stages—patio first, then poolside, and finally the dock—ensuring structural integrity across all three levels. Trex Transcend Lineage® in Hatteras was installed with clean picture-frame borders and finished with color-matched fascia. Railings were added strategically: light, open white rails along the pool terrace and sleek black rails at the dock for safety and contrast. The side-yard approach was rebuilt with pavers, turf, and lighting, setting the tone from the moment you enter.

The Result
What was once a broken, uneven yard is now a showpiece of design and craftsmanship. The backyard flows effortlessly from a shaded patio to a sunlit pool surround and down to a lakeside dock—each level distinct yet seamlessly connected. Rich Trex Hatteras decking ties the spaces together, while carefully chosen railings add both safety and style. From the moment you enter through the side yard to the final step onto the dock, every detail feels intentional, luxurious, and inviting. Shannon’s home now has not just a backyard, but a multi-level outdoor escape that redefines waterfront living.
