Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a custom pool or lazy river project take from start to finish?
Every project is unique, but most custom pool builds in Spring Hill, FL take between 8 and 16 weeks from the initial consultation to your final walkthrough — depending on design complexity, site conditions, and permit timelines. Lazy river installations, which involve more intricate water flow engineering and landscaping integration, typically run 12 to 20 weeks. Our 8-step Backyard Blueprint Builder is designed to keep everything on track and transparent, so you always know exactly where your project stands. We’ll give you a detailed schedule during Step 6 — Project Scheduling — so there are no surprises.
What areas does Beyond Backyard Living serve?

If you’re not sure whether we cover your area, just give us a call at (352) 607-7778 or reach out through our consultation request page — we’re happy to chat.
Do you handle permits and local building regulations?
Absolutely — and this is one of the biggest advantages of working with a true design-build firm. We manage the entire permitting process on your behalf, including compliance with Hernando County, Pasco County, Hillsborough County, and Pinellas County zoning laws and building codes. Permit handling is built directly into Step 5 of our Backyard Blueprint Builder, so you never have to navigate local regulations alone. We’ve done this hundreds of times — we know exactly what’s needed and how to keep your project moving forward.
How does the design-build process work?
Our exclusive 8-step Backyard Blueprint Builder takes you from dream to done — seamlessly. It starts with a Vision Casting consultation where we listen to everything you want, then moves through Design Customization (with 3D visualization), Site Evaluation, Budget Planning, Permitting, Project Scheduling, Construction & Monitoring, and a Final Walkthrough where you approve every detail before we call it complete. You’re involved at every step, and we’re with you the whole way. Learn more on our process page.
How much does a custom pool or backyard project cost?
We believe in full transparency, which is why budget planning is a dedicated step in our process. Custom pool projects (Naturi Pools) typically start around $60K for entry-level builds, $90K for mid-range, and $150K+ for high-end designs. Paver patios range from $14K–$80K depending on size and complexity, pavilions from $15K–$100K, and waterfall features from $10K–$100K+. Every project gets a detailed cost breakdown during Step 4 — Budget Planning — so you know exactly where every dollar goes before a single shovel hits the ground.
Can you combine multiple features — like a pool, lazy river, outdoor kitchen, and pergola — into one project?
That’s exactly what we love to do. Beyond Backyard Living specializes in fully integrated outdoor living environments — not just individual features. We design and build complete backyard ecosystems where your custom pool, lazy river, outdoor kitchen, fire features, pergola, and paver patio all work together as one cohesive, beautiful space. In fact, we’re one of the few design-build firms in the Sunbelt that handles all of these under one roof, which means better coordination, cleaner results, and a smoother experience for you from day one.
