The addition to this old Tarrytown is an exciting project that brings personality and comfort into outdoor space. The custom-built pool features Mexican pebble inlayed coping, surrounded by natural grass that surrounds reclaimed stone from the Tarrytown area used as a visual backdrop for the home.

The plantings surrounding the pool create an exotic and inviting atmosphere, accompanied by a custom “POOL” sign. The design for the front of the home uses a Gabion Wall to create a screen to cover the AC and Utility units and terraced steel steps and planters that frame the home’s historic Austin architecture.
