A modern backyard for homes in APEX at Avenir
If you live in APEX at Avenir and prefer a crisp, contemporary look, your backyard is the place to make a statement. A pool with straight edges, a fire feature that anchors the evening and a pergola that opens on command can work as one design.
The goal is not more features. It is a few strong pieces, chosen with care, in simple materials and tight lines that suit how your family really uses the yard.
Cliff's has built pools and outdoor spaces across Broward and Palm Beach counties since 1986, and we bring that experience to every design conversation.
Statement pieces we build
Every project is custom. These services most often shape a contemporary backyard.
- New custom pools - rectangular and other geometric forms with automation for pumps, lights and heaters
- Covered roofs and pergolas - louvered designs for adjustable shade and a clean profile
- Outdoor kitchens and fire features - a built-in gathering spot beside the water
- Pavers and patios - large surfaces that echo the pool's lines
- Pool remodeling and resurfacing - new finish and tile for an older pool
- Artificial turf - tidy green beside the pool with no mowing
Designing for Palm Beach Gardens weather
Sun in Palm Beach Gardens, FL is strong most of the year, so shade matters as much as pool shape. Louvered roofs let you angle out afternoon glare, and light-colored decking is easier on bare feet.
Heavy summer rain tests every yard. We plan grading, deck drainage and equipment placement so water moves away from the pool, the home and any new structures.
Hurricane season is part of the plan too. Pergolas and roofs are designed to meet the wind-load requirements of the local code, and automated louvers should be simple to set to closed before a storm.
We will also compare salt-free and saltwater systems and energy-efficient pumps and heaters, so the pool stays comfortable and practical to run through humid summers.
HOA architectural review and permits
Many planned communities require architectural review approval before exterior work begins. If you live in APEX at Avenir, check your own community documents to see what applies to pools, pergolas, fire features and lighting.
Cliff's prepares the drawings, site plan and material details you need for a submission. Modern designs rely on specific finishes and colors, so clear drawings help reviewers see exactly what you have in mind.
We also pull permits with the building department that has jurisdiction for your address, whether that is the municipality or Palm Beach County. We are licensed (CPC1460184, CBC1265425) and insured.
From consultation to final walkthrough
It starts with a free in-home consultation. We walk your yard, hear how you want to use it, and note sun, drainage and access.
Next comes a written estimate and a design package with the drawings and details above. Financing options are available, and you can see materials at our showroom in Oakland Park.
Once approvals and permits are in place, our crews build and keep you updated. We finish with a final walkthrough showing you how the pool, lighting, fire feature and automation work.
