Frequently Asked Questions
How did Selah design for both family use and entertaining?
The Bardwell project created distinct zones that flow together naturally — intimate spaces for daily family use alongside areas that open up for larger gatherings. This ensures the outdoor living space feels right whether it's a quiet morning or a weekend celebration with extended family. Selah's design process considers how families actually live in their outdoor environments. The team mapped sight lines, traffic patterns, and gathering points so the Bardwell outdoor living space adapts to different occasions while maintaining visual harmony throughout.
What makes Haslet properties distinctive for outdoor design?
Haslet properties often feature generous lot sizes that allow for comprehensive outdoor design. The Bardwell project took advantage of these characteristics to create multiple zones that complement the home's architecture, enabling more extensive hardscaping and a true complete outdoor environment. The area's soil conditions and North Texas climate also influence material selections and construction techniques. Selah chose finishes and structural elements for the Bardwell project that perform beautifully through seasonal extremes while requiring minimal long-term maintenance.
How long does a custom outdoor environment project typically take?
Timeline depends on scope and complexity. Projects like the Bardwell residence involve several phases: design development, permitting, construction, and finishing details. Selah provides detailed timelines during the design consultation and maintains regular communication throughout every milestone. The project management approach ensures each phase proceeds efficiently while upholding quality standards. For the Bardwell family, clear communication about milestones and realistic expectations kept the process smooth from initial concept through the completed outdoor living space.
Does Selah handle all aspects of outdoor construction?
Selah Pools operates as a complete design-build firm. From initial concept through final details, one team manages the entire project. This integrated approach eliminated coordination issues for the Bardwell family and ensured every element worked together seamlessly — no gaps, no finger-pointing between trades. That consistency means uniform quality standards across all construction disciplines. Whether structural work, electrical systems, or finish materials, the same attention to detail applies throughout the Bardwell outdoor living space and every Selah project.
What should clients expect during the design consultation?
The consultation begins with understanding how a family lives outdoors and what they envision for their space. Selah discusses lifestyle, entertaining patterns, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic goals. The Bardwell consultation revealed their need for both intimate family areas and flexible entertaining zones within one cohesive environment. The team also assesses a property's opportunities and constraints, including existing landscaping, utilities, and architectural features. This comprehensive approach ensures the final design serves the client's needs while maximizing the property's potential as a complete outdoor living space.
