Outdoor Living FAQ's

Are firepits or fireplaces more popular?

We are seeing the fire pits still trending over fireplaces right now. A fireplace can block views and cant seat quite as many people around it, which is what most people want right now.

Do Ashton Pools build pergolas or shade structures?

We work with two different companies that help make custom pieces to work with our designs.

How about an outdoor shower?

We do not currently work on outdoor showers.
