Serenity Designs: Turning Your Backyard Dreams into Reality

Swimming Pool Design Banner

Based in Rocklin, CA, Serenity Designs has been crafting stunning outdoor spaces since 2014. Our goal? To blend beauty and functionality, creating spaces that feel uniquely yours. We collaborate closely with clients to bring their visions to life, delivering spaces that are both practical and breathtaking.

Learn About Us: A Decade of Dreaming Big

Serenity Designs began with a simple idea—to elevate outdoor living. With experience in landscaping and pool design, we realized homeowners wanted more than just a pool or plants—they wanted fully integrated outdoor spaces. That’s how our “DreamScapes” came to life. Since 2014, we’ve transformed ordinary yards into extraordinary retreats that boost curb appeal, increase property value, and make everyday living special.

Our Philosophy: Your Vision, Brought to Life

At Serenity Designs, it all starts with you. We take the time to listen—really listen—to your needs, lifestyle, and vision. Your property shapes the design, and instead of focusing on just one feature, like a pool or patio, we think about the big picture. How can we blend pools, plants, and hardscapes into a cohesive, stunning space? The result is a seamless backyard oasis designed just for you.

Our Mission: Unmatched Value, Unforgettable Spaces

Complete Landscape Design

Our mission is simple: deliver exceptional value and stunning results. We offer comprehensive design packages that include 3D renderings, detailed plans, and material recommendations. This upfront planning saves you time, money, and stress during construction while ensuring a flawless result. At Serenity Designs, we create more than just backyards—we bring your dreams to life, one outdoor space at a time. 

Let’s build something incredible together!

The Serenity Design Process: Bringing Your Dream Outdoor Space to Life

Working with Serenity Designs is a smooth and exciting journey. From start to finish, you’ll be involved every step of the way to ensure your outdoor space is everything you imagined—and more.

About Us - Step One

Step 1: Let’s Chat and Get Inspired

It all starts with a conversation—where we discuss your goals, style preferences, and ideas for your outdoor space. Share photos, sketches, or anything else that inspires you! 

During this design consultation, we’ll also cover project details like budget and scope to get a clear picture of your vision

Step 2: On-Site Visit and Planning

Next, we visit your property to take measurements and assess its unique features. This step ensures your design fits perfectly into the space. 

We’ll also go through a detailed questionnaire to refine your style, needs, and must-haves.

Step 3: See Your Vision in 3D

This is where it gets exciting! Using advanced 3D design tools, we’ll create detailed renderings and virtual walkthroughs of your future backyard. 

You’ll see how everything will look and flow, from layout to materials. Plus, we offer complimentary revisions to perfect every detail.

About Us - Step Four

Step 4: Final Design and Next Steps

Once you approve the design, we provide the final concept and a detailed construction proposal. As a licensed landscape design firm and contractor, we can seamlessly move from design to construction—keeping your vision intact. 

If you prefer, you can also use the design to get quotes from other contractors. Either way, we’re here to help make your dream outdoor space a reality.
