Private Paradise

Build Your Backyard Resort — Designed for How You Live

At Private Paradise, we don’t sell pools—we design complete outdoor living environments centered around how you want to relax, entertain, and spend time at home.

Every project is custom. That said, most clients want to understand investment ranges before starting. Here’s a transparent look at what to expect. 

 

Typical Pool Investment Ranges

1. Essential Luxury Pool

Starting at $120,000 – $160,000

Best for homeowners looking for a clean, modern pool with elevated finishes.

Includes:

  • Fiberglass or vinyl-lined pool
  • Standard excavation & install
  • Basic concrete or patio surround
  • Entry steps or tanning ledge
  • Standard filtration & heating system

Good fit if: You want a high-quality pool without extensive backyard transformation.

This is where most Private Paradise clients land.

Includes:

  • Custom pool (fiberglass or concrete)
  • Integrated landscaping & hardscaping
  • Premium patio materials (pavers or stone)
  • Lighting package
  • Water features (sheer descent, bubblers)
  • Expanded lounge or entertaining areas

Good fit if: You want a cohesive outdoor space—not just a pool.

 

3. Resort-Level Outdoor Living

A fully designed, magazine-worthy backyard.

Includes:

  • Custom concrete pool with unique shape/features
  • Outdoor kitchen or cabana

  • Multi-zone landscaping & privacy design
  • Integrated audio, irrigation, and drainage systems

Good fit if: You want your backyard to feel like a private resort.

 

What Drives Pool Cost?

This is where most companies stay vague—we won’t.

Your investment is primarily influenced by:

  • Pool type (fiberglass vs. concrete)
  • Size & depth
  • Access to your yard (tight access = higher cost)
  • Soil conditions & drainage
  • Hardscaping scope (patio size, materials)
  • Features (waterfalls, lighting, automation)
  • Structures (cabana, pergola, outdoor kitchen)
 

What Most Homeowners Underestimate

Here’s the truth:
The pool is often only 40–60% of the total project cost.

The real transformation comes from:

  • Surrounding space design
  • Flow and usability
  • Materials and finishes
  • Lighting and ambiance

That’s why we design everything together—not in pieces.
