How a Complete Backyard Renovation Became a Resort-style Retreat

The homeowner first came across Woodfield Outdoors on social media, but it was a chance encounter that truly sealed the connection. “I was in Philadelphia for a meeting with some clients,” he recalled. “One of them happened to be one of Woodfield’s suppliers and had nothing but great things to say about them.”

With that glowing endorsement, the homeowner reached out, and from the first meeting with Peter Curro, Woodfield Outdoors Owner, he knew he’d found the right fit. “I met Peter at the office, and the process went extremely smoothly. I had another company give us a design, but I liked Peter’s the best and felt very comfortable with Woodfield.”

Designing a Space for Everyone

A new sports court for basketball, lacrosse, and pickleball at the Lynch house. When the design phase began, the vision was clear: create a space where both kids and adults could relax, play, and gather, with a custom concrete swimming pool design, outdoor entertainment areas, and sophisticated residential landscaping design features.

“I knew I wanted a sports court for the kids, something they could use for basketball, lacrosse, and pickleball,” the homeowner said. “Peter created a design that included a pool, retaining walls with columns, a pavilion with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace. It was a complete resort with fire bowls and a detached spa.”

The design process was efficient and inspiring. “Our initial consultation was in the showroom. We went through everything on my wish list, and Peter gave us some additional ideas we loved. Within three weeks, we had a complete, beautiful design.”

A Seamless Experience from Start to Finish

The covered porch, stone fireplace, TV, comfortable furniture, and table at the Lynch family’s new backyard. Once the design was approved, the family returned to the showroom to select their materials. “The team was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with,” the homeowner said.

Throughout construction, communication remained strong and transparent. “It was nice to be able to make a phone call and have someone answer or get back to us quickly. We also had an online schedule in Buildertrend that showed what was happening and when. Occasionally, there were some tweaks, but overall it was a great process.”

Even during the busiest construction days, the crew’s professionalism stood out. “When the crews showed up, they knew exactly what to do and always had a detailed set of plans on-site. The job site was always clean and safe.”

A Backyard That Exceeded Expectations

The pool, stone deck, wall, and fire bowl columns in the Lynch family’s new backyard paradise. When the final touches were complete, the results were beyond what the family had imagined. “It far exceeded our expectations! We love it!” the homeowner said about their new custom outdoor living space.

Today, the space is the heart of their home. “The kids love the pool, and all their friends come to enjoy it. It’s a place to relax in the evenings—in the pavilion, with the fireplace and TV going, and the fire bowls lit up. We couldn’t ask for anything nicer.”

His personal favorite? The pavilion. “We had heaters installed in the ceiling and remote shades, so we can use it through the winter with the fireplace going. It’s a great place to relax.”
