Designing Outdoor Spaces Where Life Happens

Urban Outdoor Solutions is a family owned pool, landscape, and outdoor living design build company serving homeowners throughout the East Valley of Arizona. We specialize in transforming unfinished backyards into complete outdoor environments that feel intentional, functional, and built to last.

From custom pools and outdoor kitchens to full landscape design and hardscape construction, we manage the entire process from concept through completion so every detail works together.

Meet Joel, Founder of
Urban Outdoor Solutions

For Joel, building the perfect backyard is about more than just aesthetics, it’s about creating an environment that feels intentional, functional, and built to last. After a successful career at a large firm, Joel realized that homeowners were often missing the personalized service and boots on the ground care that only a family-owned company can provide.

What truly sets Joel apart is a decade plus of design experience paired with experience in pool maintenance. Having spent years in the field before moving to the drafting table, he possesses unique insider knowledge of which construction decisions withstand the test of time and the Arizona heat. As a father of three, Joel knows exactly how important it is to have a functional and relaxing space for the family to gather, and he brings that same family first dedication to every project he touches.

Built Around the Way Homeowners Actually Live

While Joel leads the vision, Urban Outdoor Solutions is powered by a dedicated team of professionals. We’ve built our firm to provide the resources of a major operation with the heart of a local business. From our Construction Manager overseeing every detail onsite to our Client Coordinator ensuring you are kept up-to-date, our team manages the entire process from concept through completion.

To ensure a seamless experience, we leverage innovative software at every stage, from immersive 3D renderings to our client communication portal, JobTread. This allows us to combine artisan level craftsmanship with modern efficiency. Our goal is simple: to create outdoor spaces where families can relax, entertain, and enjoy their home in a completely new way.

What Makes Urban Outdoor Solutions Different

Many companies specialize in just one part of a backyard project. Pools, landscaping, or hardscapes.

Urban Outdoor Solutions approaches the entire outdoor environment as a single design build project.

This integrated approach allows every element of the space to work together.
Our services include:

Custom Pool Design & Construction

Gunite and shotcrete pools designed specifically for each property, including luxury features like sun shelves, Baja steps, deck jets, and integrated spas.

Outdoor Living Construction

Custom outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas, pavilions, and built in seating areas that turn a backyard into a true outdoor living space.

Hardscape & Masonry

Paver patios, travertine decking, retaining walls, and structural features designed to complement the home and pool environment.

Landscape Design & Installation

Complete backyard design including planting, turf, irrigation systems, lighting, and drainage planning. Every project begins with a 3D design rendering, allowing homeowners to visualize the finished space before construction begins.

Our Mission

To create exceptional outdoor living spaces that inspire homeowners while delivering a professional and well managed experience from start to finish.

Quality

Every project is built with careful attention to materials, craftsmanship, and construction detail so the finished space performs as well as it looks.

Integrity

We believe trust is earned through honest communication, clear expectations, and following through on our commitments.

Innovation

Outdoor design continues to evolve, and we constantly look for new ways to combine materials, features, and layout strategies that elevate the final result.

Total Project Ownership

Great projects happen when designers, builders, and homeowners collaborate. Our team works closely with clients throughout the entire process.
