3D renderings and permit-ready drawings from the team that builds what it draws.
Complete design services at Pool Doctor of the Palm Beaches turn a site survey into 3D renderings and approved construction drawings covering the pool, deck, outdoor kitchen, and landscaping in one plan. Design typically runs 4 to 6 weeks including permitting prep, and the team that draws it builds it. Call (561) 586-2815 for a free estimate.
A complete design is one coordinated set of drawings for everything in the yard, produced in four layers.
The pool itself is drawn to your lot: shape, depth profile, entry style, and equipment placement, engineered to setbacks and soil conditions before anything is priced. Whether the answer turns out to be a custom gunite shape or a factory fiberglass shell, the drawing decides it on paper, where changes are free.
Every design is produced as a 3D rendering, so you see the pool, deck, and structures from eye level in your own yard before permits are filed. Renderings settle the arguments drawings start: how big the deck really feels, where the afternoon shade falls, what the view from the kitchen window becomes. Revisions happen here, not during construction.
The hardscape layer places the deck, patio, summer kitchen, and any structures on the same drawing as the pool, with utilities routed and drainage calculated across the whole surface. One layout is why the finished yard reads as one project instead of a pool with things around it.
Pool and landscape design belong on the same plan: plantings frame views and screen neighbors, root zones stay clear of shells and plumbing, and irrigation is routed with the pool’s own lines. Most pool builders draw the pool and tell you to hire a separate landscaper for everything green, which is how root systems end up cracking decks and irrigation lines cross pool plumbing. Drawing both on one plan is what separates a finished backyard from a pool sitting in grass.
Every design decision on a South Florida lot answers to four constraints before taste gets a vote: setbacks, drainage, sun path, and equipment access. Setbacks and easements decide where water can legally sit. Drainage decides where hardscape can slope. The sun path decides where seating and shade belong, and access decides what machinery can reach the dig. A design that starts from these four survives permitting and construction unchanged; a design that starts from a picture gets redrawn at your expense in time.
Design typically runs 4 to 6 weeks including permitting prep, and it overlaps the build schedule so a project that designs in spring swims by fall.
A design-only studio hands you drawings and wishes you luck with contractors. Our design team sits inside a licensed pool construction company, which changes what the drawings are worth: everything drawn is checked against what our own crews can build, permit, and warranty, so nothing in the rendering is a fantasy the builder later prices out of existence. It also means accountability has one address; the designer who drew the deck detail answers for it when the deck gets poured.
New-build design starts from a blank lot and full freedom. Renovation design starts from what exists: the shell that stays, the deck that goes, the equipment worth keeping. We draw both. A renovation design maps the existing pool first, then plans resurfacing, deck replacement, and feature additions as one phased drawing, which is how a remodel avoids the mid-project surprises that come from improvising around old construction. New-build design plans run through our new pool construction team; renovation plans through our pool renovation team; the drawings are where both start.
We design pools and backyards throughout Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast from our Jupiter, FL headquarters, in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens , North Palm Beach, Royal Palm Beach, Wellington, Greenacres, Lake Worth Beach, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Palm City, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach. Beachfront lots, golf communities, and HOA neighborhoods each carry their own design constraints, and drawing to those constraints the first time is most of what we do.
Design typically runs 4 to 6 weeks from site survey to permit-ready drawings, including the 3D rendering and revision rounds. Permit processing time varies by municipality and adds to the calendar after the drawings are done.
Yes. Every complete design includes 3D renderings you review from eye level before anything is finalized, and revisions are made on the rendering rather than during construction.
The first meeting is a site walk and a conversation: we measure the lot, locate utilities and setbacks, and listen to how you plan to use the yard. You leave with a realistic read on what the property allows; we leave with everything needed to draw the first concept.
Yes. Renovation design maps the existing shell, deck, and equipment first, then plans the changes as one drawing, so resurfacing, deck work, and new features happen in the right order instead of as separate improvisations.
Yes. The final package is engineered construction drawings prepared for permit submission, and we file and track the permits as part of the project.
Yes. Planting, screening, and irrigation are drawn as a layer of the same plan, coordinated with the pool’s plumbing and the hardscape’s drainage rather than added afterward.
Tight lots are a design problem with known solutions: compact and plunge layouts, setback-variance strategy where justified, and hardscape that earns double duty. The site survey tells us exactly what the lot allows, which beats guessing from an aerial photo.
