Transform Your Backyard Into a Full Outdoor Living Experience

A pool is just the beginning. FT Pools & Outdoor designs and builds complete outdoor living spaces — pergolas, summer kitchens, fire pits, and paver patios — that turn your backyard into South Florida's best kept secret.

Your Backyard Should Work As Hard As You Do

South Florida’s weather is a gift — 300+ days of sunshine, warm evenings, and the kind of outdoor lifestyle most people only dream about. But too many homeowners stop at the pool and leave the rest of their backyard untouched.

At FT Pools & Outdoor we design and build complete outdoor living environments that make your entire backyard functional, beautiful, and entertaining-ready year round. Whether you’re building alongside a new pool or transforming an existing space, we bring the same luxury craftsmanship to every square foot of your outdoor living area.

What We Build

Pergolas & Shade Structures

South Florida sun is intense. A well-designed pergola gives you the shade you need without sacrificing style. We build custom pergolas in wood, aluminum, and vinyl that create the perfect covered outdoor living space — whether you want a cozy retreat or an open-air entertainment area. Add fans, lighting, and curtains to take it to the next level.

Summer Kitchens & BBQ Areas

The ultimate South Florida entertainer's upgrade. We design and build fully custom outdoor kitchens complete with built-in grills, refrigerators, wet bars, countertops, and cabinetry — all built to withstand Florida's heat and humidity. Stop running inside for everything and bring the party outside where it belongs.

Paver Patios & Walkways

Premium pavers do for your outdoor space what hardwood floors do for your interior — they instantly elevate everything. We install travertine, marble, and concrete pavers for patios, pool decks, driveways, and walkways that are beautiful, durable, and slip-resistant. The right paver makes your entire outdoor space feel like a luxury resort.

Fire Pits & Fire Features

South Florida evenings are perfect for gathering around a fire. We design and build custom fire pits and fire features — gas or wood burning — that become the centerpiece of your outdoor space. From simple round fire pits to elaborate built-in fire table designs, we create something your guests will talk about.

The Complete Backyard Experience

The most stunning outdoor spaces we build combine everything into one cohesive design — pool, pergola, summer kitchen, fire pit, and pavers all working together as a unified environment. When you work with FT Pools & Outdoor you get one team, one vision, and one seamless project from design to completion.

No coordinating multiple contractors. No mismatched styles. No finger-pointing when something goes wrong. Just one team that owns the entire project.

Outdoor Living FAQs

Do I need a permit for a pergola or outdoor kitchen in Miami-Dade?

It depends on the structure and size. Permanent structures typically require permits. We assess your specific project and handle all permitting requirements on your behalf.

Can you build outdoor living and a pool at the same time?

Absolutely — and we recommend it. Building everything together as one project saves time, reduces disruption, and ensures a cohesive design. Many of our clients bundle their pool build with a full outdoor living package.

What's the best paver material for South Florida?

Travertine is our most popular choice — it stays cool underfoot even in direct sun, is slip resistant when wet, and looks stunning. We’ll walk you through all options during your consultation.

How long does an outdoor living project take?

Timeline varies based on scope. A standalone paver patio installs much faster than a full outdoor kitchen with pergola and fire pit. We provide a realistic timeline during your consultation based on your specific project.

Can you match my existing pool deck or home exterior?

Yes. We design everything to complement your existing home and pool aesthetics so the finished result feels cohesive and intentional.
