The Smith Family

Burlington Ontario

The Dream

The client came to us wanting a backyard that could serve as a staycation space for their growing family. They dreamed of weekend pool parties, late-night hot tub dips, and a hassle-free place to unwind after work.

The Challenge

Their backyard was small and had a significant grade change. The client wasn’t sure if a pool was even possible. They also had a tight timeline with a big family event planned for the summer.

Our Approach

We helped them choose a plunge pool with a built-in tanning ledge to maximize space. Our team handled the permits, recommended retaining wall options, and worked closely with landscapers to ensure a seamless flow.

The Result

Today, the space is unrecognizable. The family uses the pool daily and hosts friends regularly. What started as a narrow yard is now their private retreat—complete with lighting, automation, and low-maintenance equipment.

Buds was professional from start to finish with the planning, installation and after care of our pool. We were very impressed with their care to detail. I would recommend them highly to others!
