Scottsdale
outdoor living, built right.
Complete outdoor environments for Scottsdale — front yards, backyards, custom pools, paver driveways & patios, turf, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, lighting, and Clearview frameless glass pool fencing. Residential and commercial.
Scottsdale's premier
outdoor living builder.
Scottsdale homeowners don't want a stock backyard — and we don't build them. AE Outdoor Living designs and builds bespoke front yards, backyards, paver driveways, custom pools, outdoor kitchens, shade structures and landscape architecture for the most discerning addresses in North Scottsdale, plus commercial properties, HOA common areas and resort/hospitality clients. Negative-edge pools that frame the McDowells, view-lot infinity spas in Silverleaf, full-property remodels in DC Ranch, motor-court paver driveways and curb-defining front yards, and signature outdoor kitchens behind the gates at Desert Mountain, Estancia and Mirabel. Every detail engineered for Sonoran heat, monsoon wind loads, and the design standards Scottsdale buyers expect when they walk a property.
Local craft.
Built right.
Scottsdale architecture demands restraint and proportion — Santa Barbara, Modern Desert Contemporary, Tuscan, and Transitional palettes all live here. Our designers spec materials that age well in 115° summers: travertine and porcelain pavers, real stacked stone, hand-troweled plaster, copper-finish aluminum pergolas that don't rust or rot.
- In-house design team that produces a true 3D rendering of your actual yard before you sign anything.
- Negative-edge, vanishing-edge, and view-lot pool specialists — we design at sunset for the right sightlines.
- Clearview frameless glass pool fencing installed in-house for view preservation that meets Arizona pool code.
- Lifetime structural warranty on the pool shell, 5-year workmanship on plaster and decking.
- Fixed-price quotes — no change-order surprises when the project is halfway built.
- ROC-licensed across four trade categories, not subcontracted out to the lowest bidder.
Scottsdale neighborhoods we know.
We handle the paperwork.
We routinely submit and shepherd packets through the strictest Scottsdale design review boards — DC Ranch CRC, Silverleaf DRC, Desert Mountain DRC, Grayhawk DRC, Troon North and Estancia design committees. We prep the entire architectural packet, attend the review meetings on your behalf, and adjust the design until it's approved. You don't talk to your HOA. We do.
What we've built
nearby.
Recent Scottsdale builds include a 60-foot negative-edge pool with raised perimeter spa in Silverleaf, a full front- and backyard transformation with travertine motor court, stacked-stone outdoor kitchen and copper pergola in DC Ranch, a Clearview frameless glass pool fence install on a Troon view lot, and a multi-level travertine pool deck with shade structure in Grayhawk. We work with the same architects, landscape architects, interior designers and commercial property managers Scottsdale luxury custom-home builders rely on.
