A backyard pool is often a cherished feature—but over time, styles change, technology advances, and materials age. A renovation offers the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into your outdoor space, enhancing both its beauty and functionality.
At Land of ELITE, we specialize in transforming outdated pools in New York and Connecticut into stunning, modern retreats. Whether your pool needs cosmetic updates, structural upgrades, or a complete reimagining, our team is here to guide you through every step of your pool renovation project.
Reshaping the Poolscape: Updating Your Pool’s Style
One of the most exciting aspects of pool renovations is the opportunity to refresh its visual style. Whether you want a subtle aesthetic update or a dramatic transformation, modern design trends can help revive and personalize your backyard centerpiece.
- Minimalist Modern Pools: For homeowners who favor sleek, contemporary architecture, transforming a tired pool into a minimalist masterpiece is an excellent choice. By updating the pool’s lines, simplifying the landscaping, and modernizing the materials, you can create a fresh, refined look that feels clean and timeless.
- Naturalistic Retreats: If you prefer a more organic, inviting feel, renovation is the perfect time to soften rigid lines and introduce natural elements. Converting a dated, geometric pool into a freeform, lagoon-style escape can completely shift the mood of your backyard.
- Resort-Style Luxury: Many homeowners are updating their pools to mimic the luxury of high-end resorts. Through strategic renovations like adding a tanning ledge, expanding deck space, or incorporating a dramatic infinity edge, you can elevate your pool to a destination-worthy retreat.
No matter your design preference, Land of ELITE brings expert craftsmanship, visionary design, and a concierge-level approach to every pool renovation. From sleek modern upgrades to immersive natural landscapes or indulgent resort-style features, we transform outdated pools into elegant, functional showpieces that reflect your lifestyle and enhance your outdoor living space.
Elevating the Experience: Adding Exciting New Features
A pool renovation isn’t just about updating appearances—it’s a chance to reimagine how you use your pool and backyard. By introducing modern water features, you can create a space that is more dynamic, functional, and fun.
Integrated Spas
Adding or refreshing a spa can significantly expand how—and when—you use your backyard. An integrated spa creates a year-round retreat for relaxation, hydrotherapy, and family gatherings.
Tanning Ledges and Baja Shelves
If your current pool feels purely functional, a tanning ledge can transform it into a place for lounging and socializing. Shallow sun shelves offer an in-water retreat perfect for relaxing with a drink, supervising kids, or simply cooling off without fully submerging.
Waterfalls, Bubblers, and Deck Jets
Renovating your pool is also the perfect opportunity to add the soothing sights and sounds of moving water. Whether it’s a natural stone waterfall cascading into the deep end or sleek sheer descents spilling from modern walls, water features bring energy and tranquility to any backyard oasis.
Fire and Water Features
Fire elements can add a dramatic new focal point to an older pool. Adding fire bowls, fire pits, or combination fire-and-water features during your pool remodel creates visual warmth and extends the use of your outdoor space into cooler evenings.
From spa integrations and sun shelves to dynamic lighting, waterfalls, and dramatic fire features, Land of ELITE brings expertise and creativity to every detail. Our renovation specialists reimagine your existing poolscape to match how you truly want to live outdoors—maximizing comfort, luxury, and visual impact in every upgrade.
The Perfect Perimeter: Upgrading Your Pool Deck and Coping
A tired pool deck can make even the most beautifully renovated pool look dated. Updating the materials and design of your surrounding deck and coping gives the entire backyard a cohesive, luxury feel.
- Porcelain Pavers:Porcelain pavers are an ideal decking upgrade during a pool renovation project. They offer exceptional freeze-thaw resistance, low maintenance, and upscale appearance—all critical for New York and Connecticut properties.
- Natural Stone: Travertine and limestone continue to be classic choices for pool decks. Their natural cooling properties and elegant textures make them especially attractive for homeowners seeking timeless luxury.
- Seamless Coping Integration: Modern renovations often replace older, chunky coping with seamless, integrated options that create a continuous, clean look between the deck and pool.
With a deep understanding of materials and climate considerations, Land of ELITE ensures that every element—from porcelain pavers to natural stone and seamless coping—is expertly installed to elevate your entire pool environment. Our attention to detail and craftsmanship ensures a refined, cohesive finish that enhances both the aesthetic and function of your outdoor space.
Night and Day Transformation: Adding Modern Pool Lighting
Updating your pool lighting is one of the most rewarding aspects of renovation, dramatically changing how your backyard feels after dark.
LED Lighting with Smart Controls
Older incandescent lights can be swapped for energy-efficient LEDs that offer customizable color options, scheduling, and even voice control through smart home integrations.
Integrated Pool and Landscape Lighting
Rather than isolating pool lights, we recommend designing a full backyard lighting plan during renovation. Soft pathway lights, accent uplights for landscaping, and illuminated water features create a seamless visual experience across your outdoor space.
Architectural Wall and Step Lighting
Built-in lighting along pool walls, steps, and adjacent structures adds both safety and sophistication. These fixtures illuminate entry points and seating areas, providing subtle, functional light that enhances nighttime use without overwhelming the space.
At Land of ELITE, we transform nighttime outdoor environments with expertly designed lighting systems that bring pools and landscapes to life. Whether you’re seeking subtle elegance, bold color, or full smart-home integration, our lighting solutions are crafted to elevate your pool’s ambiance, functionality, and overall appeal long after the sun sets.
The Intelligent Pool: Upgrading to Smart Automation
Today’s pool renovations often include adding smart automation systems that make pool care easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable.
- Smart Pumps, Heaters, and Covers: Renovations are the perfect time to install variable-speed pumps, high-efficiency heaters, and automated covers. These systems help reduce energy consumption, maintain pool temperatures more affordably, and simplify day-to-day operation.
- Automated Water Chemistry Management: Adding automatic chemical monitoring and dosing systems removes the guesswork from water care. These systems constantly track pH and sanitizer levels, automatically adjusting as needed to maintain perfect balance and prevent the need for frequent repairs
- App-Based System Control: With modern app-based control systems, homeowners can manage every aspect of their pool—filtration, heating, lighting, water features, and more—from a smartphone or tablet. This level of control allows for real-time adjustments whether you’re at home or away, ensuring your pool is always ready to enjoy.
At Land of ELITE, we integrate advanced automation technologies into every pool renovation with precision and care. From energy-saving equipment to full app-controlled environments, our team ensures your upgraded pool is smarter, simpler to manage, and perfectly tailored to your lifestyle.
Creating a Backyard Destination: Outdoor Living Enhancements
True pool transformations extend beyond the water itself. Renovating your pool opens the door to creating a complete outdoor living destination that enhances your entire lifestyle.
Outdoor Kitchens and Dining Areas
Upgrading your patio with an outdoor kitchen or shaded dining area turns your backyard into an entertainer’s paradise.
Lounge Zones and Fire Features
New or updated lounge areas—perhaps accented by a fire pit or outdoor fireplace—expand your pool’s usability into evenings and cooler seasons.
Outdoor Showers and Changing Stations
Adding an outdoor shower or stylish changing area enhances convenience and comfort, especially for families or frequent entertainers. These features add function while elevating the resort-like atmosphere of your backyard.
Pool Houses
A custom pool house offers the ultimate in luxury and practicality—providing space for changing, entertaining, or even overnight stays. Whether minimalist or fully equipped with a bathroom and kitchenette, a pool house creates a true retreat just steps from the water.
Landscaping to Complete the Look
No pool renovation is complete without updating the surrounding landscape. Whether you need privacy plantings, colorful gardens, or new hardscape pathways, landscaping ensures your outdoor space feels cohesive and inviting.
At Land of ELITE, we take a holistic approach to outdoor living, ensuring that every element—from custom kitchens and fire-lit lounges to landscaping and luxury pool houses—is integrated into one seamless, elevated experience.
