The pool deck looks out toward the mountains beyond the fence.

Project story

The design.

The rectangular pool runs alongside the home’s covered, arched patio. Beyond the water, a narrow paved edge and black metal fence leave the mountain view open. Lounge chairs sit at the far end of the deck.

Rock beds, small desert plants, and potted accents keep the planting close to the pool without filling the view. The project included a pool and spa, masonry, outdoor lighting, and landscaping. In the evening, the water reflects the changing sky over Alamogordo.
