How Does Serenity’s Design Process Work?
First, we start with a simple chat—whether on the phone or online—to get a sense of your needs and vision. You’ll share your backyard design ideas with one of our skilled pool designers. We’ll come by to take measurements and put together a design profile that matches your style.
Next, we’ll create an initial 3D rendering and draft, giving you a glimpse of your future backyard. You can make two free revisions to ensure it’s just how you imagined.
Once you’re happy with the design, we’ll provide the full concept and a detailed proposal to make your dream yard a reality. As experts in swimming pools and landscapes, we’re here to design and build your perfect backyard.

What is a Verdant Park Landscape?
A verdant park landscape is all about lush, green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, ground cover, and water features. Designed to create a peaceful, natural vibe perfect for outdoor living and relaxing. The word “verdant” means green and vibrant, which captures the feel of these landscapes perfectly.
They make a mix of textures and colors the focal point of your yard. You’ll find patios, pergolas, fire pits, and seating areas, adding functionality and aesthetic appeal to the space.
Benefits of a Verdant Park Landscape
- Looks Great: Verdant park landscapes are easy on the eyes and create a beautiful setting that can bring joy and relaxation.
- Natural Connection: These spaces let people connect with nature, reducing stress and improving mental health.
- Boosts Property Value: A well-planned verdant park landscape boosts curb appeal and home value, making it a smart investment for homeowners.
- Easy to Maintain: With the drought-resistance or native plants and irrigation, verdant park landscapes can be low maintenance.
Principles of Verdant Park Landscape
