A pool plan built around your backyard
A good pool plan begins with how you want to use the space. That may mean a modern geometric pool, a freeform layout, a custom spa, a sun shelf, water features, or a deck that connects the pool to the rest of the yard. Pool & Patio Design can help you work through those decisions as part of its custom pool design process.
Every project starts with the property itself: where the pool will sit, how the sun moves across the yard, where the house opens onto the outdoor space, and how the pool connects to existing landscaping and hardscape. Those details shape the layout, the pool shape, the decking, and the features that will actually get used — not a catalog design applied to every backyard.
Preview the design in 3D before construction begins
A design consultation can include 3D VR renderings and AutoCAD so you can compare pool placement, materials, lighting, and outdoor-living options before construction starts. The goal is a plan that makes sense for the way you want to use the backyard — and a design you can walk through before a single hole is dug.
Pool, deck, and outdoor living in one coordinated plan
A pool project can include more than the water itself. Pool & Patio Design can coordinate custom pool construction, pool deck installation, outdoor kitchens, custom spas, water features, and custom pergolas. One project plan helps you consider the connections between the pool, hardscape, shade, and entertaining areas.
Because the same team plans the pool and the spaces around it, the result is a backyard that works as one composition: the deck flows to the kitchen, the pergola shades the seating area, and the spa sits where it is easy to use. That coordinated approach is why many Margate-area projects combine a new pool with decking and outdoor living in a single build.
Planning permits and inspections in Margate
Pool projects involve plans, permits, and inspections. The City of Margate Building Department is at 901 NW 66th Avenue, Margate, FL 33063, and is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The department enforces the Florida Building Code and provides plan review and inspections. Inspection requests called in before 2 p.m. are conducted the next business day; requests after 2 p.m. are scheduled for the second business day.
Margate and Broward County jointly operate ePermitsOneStop, so building permit applications and associated county permits can be submitted together online. Pool & Patio Design handles the permitting process for its clients, including plan submission and inspection scheduling. The final requirements depend on your property and project scope, and the responsible authorities remain in charge of reviews, permits, and inspections.
Remodel an existing pool or reimagine the whole backyard
An existing pool can be updated without starting from scratch. Our pool remodeling services can include resurfacing, waterline tile, decking, equipment, custom spas, and water features. A consultation helps define which changes will make the most difference for the way you use the space now.
Many homeowners in the Margate area choose remodeling over replacement: a new finish and tile can transform how the pool looks, while updated equipment improves efficiency and a new deck or spa extends how the space is used. Because the work is scoped to your existing pool, the budget and timeline stay focused on the changes that matter.
Finishes, tile, and equipment options for an updated pool
Finish, tile, deck material, lighting, and equipment choices affect both the look and everyday use of a pool. Pool & Patio Design can help you compare the options that fit your project instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all package.
What a custom pool project costs and how long it takes
Pool & Patio Design’s company guidance for a new pool in South Florida typically starts in the $50,000 to $100,000+ range. Final cost depends on the size and layout, site conditions, materials, features, decking, and equipment. A project-specific consultation is the best way to get an estimate for your property.
The company states that a typical new build can take about 8 to 12 weeks from excavation to final inspection. Design choices, permitting, inspections, weather, materials, and site conditions all affect the schedule. Financing is available through the company’s lending partner for qualified projects — ask during your consultation.
What a complete project plan should include
Your plan should make the scope, materials, feature choices, budget, and expected next steps easy to discuss. You can also explore new pool construction details before your consultation.

A Margate customer’s review
“Thinking of resurfacing you pool? Absolutely do it with Pool and Patio Design. From consultation, planning and through the finish, our experience was nothing but simple and stress free. We did the Hawaiian Blue and couldn’t be happier with the results. Every time I look at my pool, it’s a joy. I’d rate them 6 stars if I could.”
