Open-lot rectangular pool and paver deck by Field of Dreams

New Castle County · Delaware

Bear is growing. The backyard should look settled.

Open sun, new neighborhoods, and homeowners who want a custom pool that does not look like the last house on the street to add water.

Outdoor living in Bear

Luxury pools and landscapes for Bear, DE.

Bear is growing, and so are the expectations for backyard living. Homeowners who invest in a custom pool and hardscape want the work to look settled — materials, planting, and lighting designed as one composition, not a kit that arrived on a truck.

Newer lots often give you more sky than canopy. That is a gift for a pool and a test for planting. Without structure, an open yard becomes a glare. We build a sequence from the house to the water: terrace, shade, swim, and a planted edge that will look older than it is.

Durable decking matters here. Full sun and a family calendar will tell you quickly whether the stone was chosen for a photograph or for July.

The goal is a yard you use on a Tuesday. If it only works for a party, we missed the job.

What this lot usually needs

The work we bring to a Bear backyard.

Pools for open lots

Clean rectangles and sun shelves that hold the view, with decks that can take full Delaware sun.

Shade and dining

Pavilions, pergolas, and kitchens so the western exposure does not end the evening.

A planted edge

Trees, hedges, and beds that give a new neighborhood lot a finished perimeter.

We help Bear clients choose durable decking and planting that can handle open sun, then build a clear walk from the house to the water.

The work

Actual Field of Dreams projects — the standard we bring to New Castle County.

These are yards Marc’s crew has already built. We do not drop the same kit on every town. We do bring this level of stone, water, and planting to every Bear lot we take on.

The plan

Visualize it. Walk the Bear lot. We build it.

  1. 01

    Sketch the backyard

    Send a photo of the yard. Choose the water, the room, and the stone. You will see a first composition on your lot before anyone breaks ground.

  2. 02

    Walk it with Marc’s team

    We come to the Bear property, listen, and turn the wish list into a plan that respects the house, the grade, and New Castle County conditions.

  3. 03

    One crew finishes the room

    The same people stay on the job. Your yard stays orderly. The finished space works in daylight and after dark.

“Great experience working with Marc and his team. They exceeded our expectations and their attention to detail was second to none. Highly recommend.”

Questions

Before you spend another summer waiting in Bear.

Do you build in Bear and southern New Castle County?

Yes. Custom pools, patios, and landscaping for Bear, Middletown, and the growing neighborhoods between.

Our yard is brand new and empty. Where do you start?

With how you will live, then with sun, utilities, and the view from the kitchen. The pool is placed last, after the room is understood.

Can you add a kitchen and fire later?

We can phase work, but we design the whole room first so the second chapter does not look like an apology.

How do we start?
