What It Covers

A Backyard Designed as One Space, Not a Pool With Things Around It

The pool is where you swim. The deck, kitchen, shade, and fire are where you live. They should be designed together.

Outdoor living is everything on the deck side of the coping: the decking itself, an outdoor kitchen with real appliances, a pergola or insulated cover with fans and lights, fire bowls and fire pits, and the landscape and lighting that finish the yard. We design it with the pool so utilities, drainage, and finishes are planned once. Call (941) 555-0142 to schedule a free design consultation.

Included with every outdoor living project

Designed With the Pool

Kitchen, cover, and fire are in the same 3D model as the pool, not added later.

Utilities Roughed In Early

Gas, water, drain, and power are run during the pool build so nothing gets torn up.

Engineered for Wind

Covers and pergolas are permitted and engineered to local wind code.

One Fixed Price

Every element itemized in the same agreement as the pool.

Our Own Crews

Deck, masonry, and carpentry by Kingfisher employees.

Matched Materials

Good to Know

Outdoor Living Questions, Answered Straight

The things Sarasota homeowners ask us most about decks, kitchens, and shade. Don’t see yours? Call and a designer will answer it.

01

Can you add outdoor living to an existing pool?

Yes. Decks, kitchens, covers, and fire features can all be added to an existing pool. We design them to match the coping and finishes you have or to update everything together.

02

Which deck material is best around a pool?

Travertine stays cool and drains through its joints. Porcelain pavers resist stains and salt. Concrete pavers offer the most color options. Finished concrete is the most economical. We bring samples to the site walk.

03

Do covers and pergolas need permits?

Yes. Anything structural is engineered to wind code and permitted. We handle drawings, permits, and inspections.

04

Can I have an outdoor kitchen without a cover?

You can, but shade and rain protection make it far more usable. Most of our kitchens sit under a pergola or insulated cover with fans and lighting.

05

Do you run gas for grills and fire features?

Yes. Gas, water, drain, and electrical are roughed in during construction so nothing is cut into the deck later.

06

Do you do landscaping?

Yes. Planting, privacy screens, landscape lighting, and irrigation are designed into the 3D model and installed after the hardscape.

07

Is outdoor living priced separately from the pool?

It is itemized on the same fixed-price agreement so you can see each element, and you can phase it if you prefer.
