Custom Pools & Outdoor Living Designed Around Your Home
At Auman Landscape, we design and build custom inground pools and outdoor living spaces for homeowners who want beautiful results, clear communication, and a process that feels organized from start to finish.
A Backyard Should Feel Peaceful, Not Stressful to Build.
If you're considering a pool project, you may already be asking:
- Who can actually manage this well?
- How do we avoid poor communication and surprises?
- What should we expect through design and construction?
- How do we make sure the finished space fits our home and lifestyle?
That's where our process matters. We help homeowners create custom outdoor spaces that feel welcoming, functional, and built to last, while giving them confidence in what comes next at every step.
What We Build
From custom pool design and inground pool installation to the hardscape and outdoor living that surrounds them, we build the whole space as one cohesive project.
Custom pool environments designed around your property, goals, and lifestyle.
Patios, walkways, coping, retaining walls, and surrounding features that make the pool feel like a natural part of the property.
Outdoor kitchens, fire features, lighting, gathering spaces, pergolas, and plantings that complete the backyard.
Pool, hardscape, planting, and outdoor living plan brought together into one cohesive project.

What a Pool Project Typically Costs
One of the most common questions we get is "how much does a pool cost?" The honest answer is: it depends on the vision. Here are typical investment ranges for the spaces we create.
Why projects vary in price: pool size and type, pavers vs. concrete, outdoor kitchens or structures, grading and site access, retaining or seat walls, and landscape/lighting packages.
Is Auman the Right Fit for Your Pool Project?
We may not be the right fit for someone looking only for the cheapest option. That's okay. We'd rather be clear up front.
We're a strong fit for homeowners who:
Value quality over the lowest price
Want a custom result
Appreciate a professional process
Care about communication and detail
Want the whole space to feel cohesive

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you design and build the whole project?
Yes. We're a pool design-build team, so we bring the design, pool, hardscape, and surrounding outdoor living features into one cohesive plan.
Can you help with more than just a pool?
Absolutely. Many projects include patios, lighting, fire features, plantings, and other outdoor living elements.
How early should we start planning?
Earlier is better, especially for larger or customized projects. We typically schedule about 2 months out.
What if we already have ideas?
Great. Some clients come with a clear vision, others want help shaping one. We work with either.
How do we get started?
The first step is a conversation. We'll learn your goals, review the property, and determine whether the project is a fit.
