Jeremy Eckel and Eckel Pool Concepts did a beautiful job transforming our backyard into an inviting resort-style oasis. From the design to the execution, we could not be happier with the professional, creative and thorough job we experienced with Jeremy and his team. Our pool and outdoor kitchen have become a warm, gathering place where we’ve been able to host our family and friends. The design is situated nicely to take advantage of our lake views here in Sienna.Before we even purchased this home, we had Jeremy out to give his advice on whether we could add a pool due to certain provisions and restrictions regarding being a lake-front property. He assured us we could add the large pool we were hoping for, and create the kind of entertaining space we always wanted to enjoy. We added a large pool with stacked stone accents, water features, a spa, beautiful coping, tile and pool finish. The Hayward pool pumps are first rate and keep the water looking beautiful fresh and clean. Our summer kitchen is equipped with awesome Lynx, appliances including a grill, bar sink, icemaker, stainless steel cabinets all wrapped in a beautifully crafted stacked stone base with a fantastic granite counter top and multilevel bar. Up above 3 strong fans have kept us cool while grilling and the wooden sailboat-style ceiling gives the kitchen an overall nautical look.We love the travertine pavers and the drainage system they put in place has worked well. The large firepit we know will be put to use this fall. It’s impressive 5’ of flames definitely helps to keep the bugs away as well! Our backyard is a showstopper.In addition, Eckel pools oversaw the design and building of an additional full bathroom adjacent to the backyard that turned out beautifully. It includes tumbled granite tiles from floor to ceiling in a spa-shower with 3 shower heads, all Kohler plumbing fixtures, beautiful ship lap wall and built-in shelving with accent lighting. We are very pleased with the design, and execution of Eckel Pool Concepts and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking to have their own private resort in their backyard.
