Custom Pool Builder in Mechanicsburg, PA
A Better Backyard Starts With a Custom Pool
What if your favorite summer days happened without leaving home? As a custom pool builder in Mechanicsburg, we at Earth, Turf, & Wood pair in-house construction with registered landscape architecture to create distinctive pools and complete outdoor environments designed around your property and lifestyle.
Create Your Dream Outdoor Space
Make your backyard the setting for slow afternoons, family fun, and weekend gatherings. Our luxury pool design starts with how you want to live outside, creating a lasting investment that makes better use of your property for years.
From Pool Design to Construction, One Team Handles the Details
We go beyond a regular consultation by considering your goals, style, family, entertaining needs, budget, must-haves, and property challenges. Each meeting is a collaborative discussion to reveal what matters most, ensuring your outdoor space reflects your priorities and lifestyle, not a preset plan.
1. Tell Us How You Want to Live Outside
We start by learning how you want your backyard to look, feel, and function for everyday life and entertaining.
2. See Your Backyard Take Shape
Your ideas become a thoughtful design that brings the pool, outdoor living features, and surrounding space together.
3. Prepare the Property
Before construction begins, we carefully prepare the site so every element has the right foundation.
4. Build More Than the Pool
From the pool itself to patios, structures, kitchens, and gathering spaces, we build the complete outdoor experience.
5. Put the Finishing Touches Around It
Landscaping, lighting, plantings, and final details bring warmth, character, and cohesion to your new backyard.
6. Make Yourself at Home!
With construction complete, all that’s left is to settle in, invite everyone over, and start enjoying your new outdoor space.
The Pool is Only the Beginning
A pool can transform how you use your backyard, but the spaces around it determine how long you stay there. Our team designs the pool, gathering areas, shade, landscaping, lighting, and entertainment features as one connected outdoor environment.
A Pool That Looks Like It Belongs There
Great pool design shouldn't feel added after the fact or done without considering the rest of the property.
When planning your luxury pool design, our landscape architects and designers consider:
- Architecture
- Existing landscape
- Property grade
- Views
- Privacy
- Sun and shade
- Movement through the property
- Entertaining areas
- Future outdoor improvements
From Backyard to Party Spot
See how we turned a disconnected backyard into the ultimate party spot, with the pool anchoring spaces designed to keep everyone together.
The Goal
The homeowners loved entertaining, but their backyard wasn’t keeping up. Separate additions felt disconnected, the sloped lawn went largely unused, the patio lacked overflow space, and the pool area was too small for larger gatherings.
The Design
ETW reimagined how guests would move, gather, and interact throughout the property. The design expanded the pool and patio, regraded the yard, and connected an outdoor kitchen, pavilion, fireplace, putting green, walkways, landscaping, and lighting into distinct but complementary outdoor spaces.
The Finished Space
The result is a backyard made for a crowd. Guests can swim, cook, dine, lounge, play, or gather by the fire while remaining connected to the rest of the party, giving the homeowners the unified entertaining space they envisioned.
“We trusted our backyard renovation to Earth, Turf, & Wood and couldn't be happier with our decision."

Landscape Architects, Not Just Pool Installers
Unlike typical
pool builders, we consider grading, architecture, hardscaping, and planting together so your pool belongs within the broader property.
One Vision. One Team.
Reduce the headache of coordinating a pool installer, landscaper, hardscaper, lighting contractor, and outdoor-living contractor separately.
Designed for Your Property
Your backyard deserves more than a standard package. Every design responds to your home, property, lifestyle, priorities, and long-term outdoor vision.
Experience Dating Back to 1999
Since 1999, homeowners have trusted our team with substantial outdoor investments designed to add lasting enjoyment, function, and beauty to their properties.
What Does It Take to Build Your Dream Pool?
In-ground swimming pool cost depends on more than the pool itself. Dimensions, design, site conditions, excavation, grading, materials, and features all shape your investment, along with surrounding patios, landscaping, lighting, pavilions, and the overall scope of your outdoor transformation.
