A family-friendly backyard for homes in Avondale at Avenir
A pool changes how a family uses its yard. Kids want to splash, parents want clear sightlines, and everyone wants a space that still feels good after a long Florida afternoon.
We start with how your household actually lives: the ages of your kids, how often friends come over, whether the dog needs room to run. Then we shape the pool, deck and play space around those answers.
Safety comes first in every layout. Layered protection, shallow zones for little swimmers and wet-grip surfaces make the yard easier to relax in.
Services that make a backyard family-ready
These are the services families ask about most when safety, play and durability matter.
- New custom pools - sun shelves, gentle entries, built-in safety features and clear sightlines
- Pool remodeling and resurfacing - add a sun shelf, upgrade safety features or refresh a worn finish
- Artificial turf - a mud-free, play-ready surface that drains after heavy rain
- Pavers and patios - slip-resistant, durable decks built for sun, chemicals and foot traffic
- Covered roofs and pergolas - shade for snacks, homework and cooling off between swims
- Pool service and maintenance - steady care so the water stays clear and safe to swim
Designing for Palm Beach Gardens weather
Sun comes first. We help you choose lighter, textured deck materials that stay more comfortable underfoot, and we place shade where kids actually spend time. Artificial turf can warm up in direct sun, so shade and placement matter there too.
Heavy summer rain makes drainage essential. Smart grading, deck drains and a well-prepared turf base move water away from the pool, the house and the play area.
Hurricane season shapes the details too, from properly engineered pergolas and roofs to a plan for securing furniture and equipment. You can also choose salt-free or saltwater sanitizing, paired with energy-efficient pumps and heaters.
Architectural review for Avondale at Avenir homes
Many planned communities require architectural review approval before exterior work begins, which can include pools, pavers, pergolas and turf. Check your own community documents to see what applies to your home.
Cliff's prepares the drawings, site plan and material details you need for a submission. Approval decisions always rest with your community's review process, not with us.
For permits, Cliff's pulls them with the building department that has jurisdiction for your address, whether that's the municipality or Palm Beach County.
From consultation to final walkthrough
It starts with a free in-home consultation, where we walk your yard and talk through safety, design and financing options.
