Complete Outdoor Living Space Transformation At McDowell Mountain Home

Valley Design Group: Complete Outdoor Transformation at McDowell Mountain Home

At Valley Design Group, we take pride in transforming outdoor spaces into stunning, functional environments. Our recent project at McDowell Mountain is a perfect example of how our expertise brings together design, functionality, and beauty to create an outdoor oasis. Here’s a detailed recap of the project highlights:

Pool and Water Features

We started by focusing on the pool area, which is the centerpiece of this transformation. The sleek, modern pool design complements the desert landscape while providing a refreshing retreat from the Arizona heat. The pool’s calming blue waters are enhanced by custom water features that create a relaxing ambiance. The three cascading spouts built into the pool’s wall add both a visual and auditory element of tranquility, creating the perfect environment for relaxation and entertainment.

Outdoor Kitchen

Moving from the pool to the entertainment area, we installed a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen. This space features high-quality appliances, including a built-in grill, refrigerator, and countertop workspace, making it an ideal spot for hosting cookouts and family gatherings. The minimalist yet stylish design blends with the home’s architecture, and the modern concrete countertops provide durability and elegance.

Decking

The decking for this project was another key element. We used premium travertine tiles to ensure a clean, sophisticated look that’s also durable and cooling to the touch, perfect for the Arizona climate. The large stone tiles flow seamlessly from the pool area to the outdoor kitchen, creating an expansive, unified outdoor living space.

Putting Green

To add a fun, recreational element, we installed a custom putting green. Designed with undulating surfaces, it offers a mini-golf experience right in the backyard. The synthetic turf not only looks lush year-round but also requires minimal maintenance, ensuring it’s always ready for a quick game with family or friends.

Shade Covering

A stylish and functional shade covering was essential to make the space usable throughout the day. We installed a sleek, black pergola that extends over the dining area, providing ample shade while allowing light to filter through. This addition ensures the outdoor space remains comfortable, even during the hottest hours of the day.

Fire Feature

The fire feature was designed to serve as a cozy gathering spot for evening relaxation. The linear gas fire pit, framed by black tiles and a sleek stone seating area, becomes the focal point after sunset. The design ties in seamlessly with the pool and outdoor kitchen, ensuring the entire space feels cohesive.

Fencing

Lastly, for safety and style, we installed sleek black fencing around the pool and outdoor areas. This fencing ensures that the space is secure while maintaining the open, airy feeling of the backyard. The design is minimalistic yet durable, blending in perfectly with the modern aesthetic of the project.

This outdoor transformation at McDowell Mountain is a prime example of how Valley Design Group excels in creating multifunctional, stunning outdoor environments. Each element — from the pool and water features to the outdoor kitchen and fire pit — was carefully considered to deliver both style and practicality. The homeowners now have a luxurious outdoor space that is perfect for entertaining, relaxation, and everyday enjoyment.
