BACKYARD TRANSFORMATION AND NEW LUXURY POOL - Oak Hill
FROM HILLSIDE CHALLENGE TO LUXURY POOL RETREAT
What began as a vision for a resort-style pool quickly became a much more complex undertaking. Urban Living Design led the transformation of a steep, unusable hillside, assembling a team of trusted specialists—including Alex Burnette of Nashville Siteworks — to solve significant grading, excavation, drainage, and engineering challenges. Together, they created a stunning outdoor retreat while establishing the foundation for a future guest/pool house.
