Luxury backyards for The Estates at Lotis Wellington
Homeowners in The Estates at Lotis Wellington often want more than a simple rectangle of water. A luxury custom pool is a whole outdoor living space, where the shape, spa, water features, shade and kitchen all work together.
At Cliff's, design starts with how you entertain, where the afternoon sun lands and what you see from your windows. A sheer-descent waterfall, a raised spa or a sun shelf can then be placed with purpose instead of squeezed in later.
We are an independent builder, family-owned since 1986, and we are not affiliated with the community. Our job is to design for you, the homeowner.
Services for a custom outdoor retreat
Every luxury backyard is a little different, but these are the services that most often come together:
- New custom pools - freeform or geometric designs sized to your yard and the way you swim and entertain
- Water features and spas - waterfalls, spillways and spas that add sound, movement and a place to unwind
- Outdoor kitchens - grill, counters and bar seating so the cook stays part of the party
- Covered roofs and pergolas - shade and rain cover for dining and lounging
- Pavers and patios - durable surfaces that tie the pool, kitchen and house together
- Artificial turf - green play space with no mowing or watering
Designing for Wellington weather
South Florida sun is intense, and humidity is a fact of life. We plan shade with pergolas and covered roofs, choose decking and coping that feel comfortable underfoot, and place seating where guests can escape the midday glare.
Heavy summer rain makes drainage a design issue, not a detail. We study how water moves across your lot so the pool, patio and kitchen sit properly and runoff goes where it should.
Hurricane season shapes our thinking too, from equipment placement to how outdoor structures are secured. You will also choose between salt-free and saltwater systems, and we recommend energy-efficient pumps and heaters to keep daily operation sensible.
Approvals for The Estates at Lotis Wellington homes
Many planned communities require architectural review approval before any exterior work begins. Because rules differ, check your own community documents early, ideally before you fall in love with a design.
Cliff's prepares the drawings, site plan and material details you need for a submission, so your review package is clear and complete. If reviewers ask for changes, we help you adjust the plan.
We also pull permits with the building department that has jurisdiction for your address, whether that is the municipality or Palm Beach County. You stay informed without chasing paperwork.
From first call to final walkthrough
It begins with a free in-home consultation, where we walk your yard, listen to your wish list and talk through financing options. You then receive a written estimate.
Our Oakland Park showroom is a good place to see tile, stone, pavers and outdoor kitchen materials in person before you decide.
