Walk Your Backyard Before We Build It.
Photoreal 3D renderings, material boards, and engineered drawings — included with every full project.
Design First. Build Second.
Most pool buyers are asked to sign a contract based on a hand sketch and a price. We do the opposite. Every Donovan's Design, LLC project starts in our design studio with a photoreal 3D rendering of your finished backyard — so you know exactly what you're approving before any concrete is poured.
The Full Design Package.
Photoreal 3D Renderings
Day, dusk, and night views of your pool, decking, and structures from multiple angles.
Material Boards
Plaster, tile, coping, decking, and stone samples in one curated palette.
Construction Drawings
Engineered plans, structural details, and equipment schematics for build.
Unlimited Revisions
We refine until it's exactly right — no per-revision fees, no pressure to commit early.
Walkthrough Animation
On larger projects, an animated walkthrough video of your finished backyard.
Site Plan Integration
Designed against your actual property survey, setbacks, and home elevations.
Renderings That Match Reality.
Our renderings aren't marketing. They're the exact build target — every tile, every stone, every fire bowl. When you compare your rendering to your finished backyard, they should look like the same photo.
- Real materials modeled from manufacturer libraries
- True-to-scale shell, decking, and structures
- Lighting and shadow studies for sun exposure
- Coordinated with your home's architecture and finishes
