About Us
Backyards Deserve Better Design
We founded Serenity Designs after realizing that homeowners want more than just a pool or plants—they want a unified, beautiful outdoor space.
For over a decade, we’ve focused on mastering the art of integrated pool and landscape design to deliver that seamless vision. Learn more about our story.
Our Philosophy: Design Driven by You
We begin every project by taking the time to listen—truly listen—to your needs, lifestyle, and unique vision. Your property and your aspirations shape the design, guiding us to look beyond a single feature like a pool or a patio. We focus on the big picture, seamlessly blending pools, plantings, and hardscapes into one cohesive, stunning space. The result is a custom backyard oasis designed just for you.
Our Mission: Creating Unified, Functional Outdoor Spaces.
Every project begins with a careful, in-depth conversation. We take the time to truly understand your aesthetic, your current space, and your core needs. We don’t just design for you—we work alongside you, ensuring that the final, seamless space is one you feel completely happy and satisfied with from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the real difference between a Landscape Designer and an Architect?
A: As designers, we focus on the creative side—planting plans, lighting, and the “feel” of your yard. Architects are usually needed for high-level structural engineering. We are licensed contractors (CA Lic #994275), so we can handle the concept and the build from start to finish.
Q: How does our partnership with “master craftsmen” affect your project’s timeline?
A: We only work with the best, and quality takes time. By hand-selecting our specialist network, we ensure “superior construction,” even if it means waiting a little longer for the best vendors in the business.
Q: Is there a minimum budget needed to work with our Head Designer, Brandon Ellis?
A: Most of our complete transformations fall between $25,000 and $250,000. We focus on comprehensive projects where we can really bring a “unified vision” to life.
Q: Are we fully insured for things like workers’ compensation?
A: Yes. As licensed California contractors (CA Lic # 994275), we hold all the required insurance and professional memberships like PHTA and CLCA to protect you and your home.
