Pools & backyard design
Family pool designs — The Resort, The Plunge, The Family — each with the patio, deck, planting and lighting designed around it.
Serving Markham & the GTA
Backyard pools & landscaping in Markham.
Markham families want backyards that work as hard as they do — a pool for the kids, a patio for entertaining, planting that looks after itself. Pisces designs the entire backyard around the pool, so the first swim feels like the start of something, not the end of a project.
What we build in Markham
Pool-centred backyard builds are our most-requested work in Markham:
Garden suites & tiny houses
Four models from about 480 to 800 sq ft with striking ACM facades — and we handle the building permit process from drawings to City approvals.
Landscaping & planting
Complete landscape design and installation: grading, sod, planting beds, garden walls and the finishing touches that make it look established.
Interlock driveways & walkways
Precision interlock with rich patterns and borders — including the checkered finishes we are known for — on a properly built base.
Heated snow-melting driveways
Radiant heating under your pavers melts snow on contact. No shoveling, no salt damage, a clear driveway all winter.
Pools & backyard design
From plunge pools to tropical lagoon concepts, designed as one complete backyard — pool, patio, deck and planting together.
Designed for family summers
A pool is only as good as the yard around it. Our Family concept pairs generous shallow areas with lawn nearby and clear sightlines from the patio — so the kids can swim while dinner is on the grill. The Resort concept goes further: pergola, lounge area and interlock that feels like a boutique hotel.
And because one team designs everything — pool, patio, planting, lighting, fence requirements — there are no gaps between trades and no finger-pointing. You get a single schedule, a single point of contact, and a backyard that is ready the day we finish.
Why Markham homeowners choose Pisces
Markham families plan carefully — we make it easy:
- Permits handled. For garden suites, we take care of the building permit process from drawings to City approvals.
- One team, whole property. The suite, the servicing, the driveway, the pool and the landscape — coordinated, not pieced together.
- Real work, honestly shown. Photographs of completed Pisces projects and animated step-by-step processes — you see what you are buying.
- Direct line to the owner. You deal with Simon at 647-860-0400 — no layers, no call centres, no disappearing contractors.
- Itemized quotes, photo updates. Clear pricing before we start and progress photos while we build.
- Based in Thornhill, across the GTA. Our home base is 45 Woodward Ave, Thornhill — and we serve Markham and the Greater Toronto Area.
Markham questions, answered
Which pool suits a family with young kids?
Our Family concept — generous shallow areas, lawn nearby and clear sightlines from the patio. We design safety into the layout from day one.
Do you handle everything around the pool?
Yes — the pool, patio, deck, planting, lighting and fencing requirements are designed as one backyard, not separate contracts with separate schedules.
How long does a backyard pool project take?
Timelines depend on scope and permits. You get a clear phased schedule before work begins — no vague promises.
Can you add a garden suite too?
On eligible lots, yes — a pool-house-style suite or a full garden suite, with the permit process handled.
