How Does Serenity’s Design Process Work?
Our process begins with a simple conversation, either by phone or online, to understand your needs. You’ll then share your backyard design ideas with one of our skilled designers. We’ll visit to take precise measurements of your yard, allowing us to develop a comprehensive design profile.
Next, we create an initial 3D rendering and draft. You have the opportunity for two free revisions to ensure everything perfectly aligns with your vision.
Once you are satisfied, we’ll deliver the complete design concept along with a detailed proposal to bring your dream yard to life. As a swimming pool and landscape contractor, we can design and build your dream backyard.

What is a Tropical Landscape?
A tropical landscape brings a slice of paradise right to your space. Think of it as your personal escape filled with lush greenery and large, leafy plants like banana trees and palms. These create a dense, almost forest-like vibe. Add vibrant flowers like hibiscus, orchids, and bird of paradise for pops of color that stand out.
Water features, like a peaceful pool or cascading waterfall, look incredible and fill the air with calming sounds. They create an oasis where you can relax, away from daily life’s hustle and bustle.
This style features exotic plants that make your space bright yet relaxing, perfect for enjoying nature in your backyard. Natural stone pathways and wooden boardwalks add a tropical vibe, along with cozy seating areas like teak or wicker.
Principles of Tropical Landscapes
- Lush Vegetation: Think of a tropical garden filled with loads of greenery, leafy plants, and exotic flowers. Step into a vibrant rainforest right in your backyard.
- Water Features: Whether it’s a inground pool, hot tub, or waterfall, no tropical landscape is complete without some water. These elements are key in creating a tropical oasis, offering a sense of calm and relaxation.
- Vibrant Colors: Tropical landscapes are all about wow factor. Picture bright, bold colors from plants and flowers, plus colorful stones or tiles that make the space pop.
- Natural Materials: To get that natural, organic feel, tropical landscapes often use stone, wood, and bamboo. These materials add texture and help everything blend beautifully with the surroundings.
- Cozy Seating Areas: You can’t enjoy your tropical escape without comfy seating. Think outdoor lounges, hammocks, or built-in benches tucked away in lush greenery for a bit of privacy.
- Lighting: To keep the tropical vibes all night long, lighting is essential. Whether it’s soft, ambient glows or colorful accent lights, the right lighting enhances the whole backyard paradise.

- Relaxing: Lush greenery and calm water features, a tropical design is perfect for unwinding and escaping everyday stress.
- Boosts Home Value: A beautiful tropical landscape can bump your property’s value, making it a smart investment.
- Easy to Maintain: Believe it or not, tropical landscapes can be easier to maintain than traditional gardens.
