POOL BUILDERS

Designed to plug into your existing pool sales process — not replace it.

Design to Close supports pool builders by visualizing what you’ve sold or helping homeowners confidently commit when visuals are needed.

Ways pool builders use Design to Close:

  • Visualizing a selected pool on the site
    Help homeowners understand placement, scale, setbacks, and layout using the pool they already chose.

  • Supporting the pool sale when visuals matter when sketches or verbal explanations aren’t enough, Design to Close becomes the sales visual that helps close the pool itself.

  • Expanding scope after a pool deposit
    Once the pool is sold, visualize patios, walls, planting, and outdoor living to close the rest of the backyard project — or remove design load while you focus on the next pool sale.

How we work +

Pool builders:

  • Start from your hand sketch, pool dimensions, or share the design file 

  • You control the pool sale and pricing 

  • We support clarity, confidence, and closing 

  • Spas, water features, and fire + water elements integrate naturally when needed. 

HARDSCAPE CONTRACTORS

Built to close patio projects with fire features & Outdoor kitchens, entryway with walkway or courtyards & driveways, grade-driven projects. 

Design to Close helps you:

  • Show scale and layout clearly 

  • Reduce objections ("I didn’t realize size")

  • Price walls, flatwork,steps,and features faster 

  • Avoid redesigning after pricing conversations 

LANDSCAPE CONTRACTORS

Ideal for higher-end planting, lighting, drainage, and full-property improvements.

Design to Close supports:

  • Layered planting and screening concepts 

  • Quantity-based plant lists for pricing 

  • Lighting layouts with counts and intent 

  • Drainage features (dry creeks, swales, grading solutions).

Planting is shown with intent and scale, not generic placeholders — so pricing, maintenance expectations, and long-term results stay aligned.

DECKS PORCHES & STRUCTURES

Built for deck builders and outdoor living contractors who need context — not just framing plans.

Design to Close helps visualize:

  • Decks tied into the house and grade 

  • Covered porches,pavilions and outdoor rooms 

  • Rooflines, posts, spans, and elevations 

  • Fireplaces,TVs,seating,and gathering zones 

  • How structure connects to the rest of the yard

This reduces scope confusion and helps homeowners understand what they’re actually buying.
