Azuro designs beautiful outdoor living spaces.
Designed Outdoor Living Spaces
If you are looking for a stunning beautiful backyard, including backyard architecture, backyard design, construction of inground swimming pools, concrete hot tubs, water features, and landscaping design, Azuro is the leading outdoor design specialist.
More than Inground Swimming Pools
For decades we have been doing backyard renovations, transforming ordinary backyards into private paradises for discerning homeowners. Outdoor living spaces designed and built by Azuro lack for nothing; each backyard is custom designed to match the terrain and your specific style. We build custom inground swimming pools and hot tubs, spectacular water features (waterfalls, ponds, fountains and more), outdoor kitchens, bars, cabanas, change and storage rooms, wine cellars, sports courts, saunas, custom planters, retaining walls, and custom rock work. We also design front yards and take care of your entire garden design including landscape architecture.
Concrete Contractors Ready for a Challenge
No matter what your backyard inspiration includes, Azuro can build it. We love challenges, and we have been called to task many times and built what was considered impossible, such as swimming pools in backyards with poor access or on sloping backyards.
Integrated Landscaping Design
We work hard to create integrated functional backyard layouts that incorporate all your needs into your custom backyard design. This might mean a beautiful inground swimming pool connecting to a luxurious concrete hot tub. Or a custom swimming pool connecting to a cave grotto shielded by a waterfall. Or how about a beautiful relaxing living area with built-in gas fireplace or fire pit to set off your garden? Depending on your lifestyle, we build outdoor living spaces to suit your privacy needs with quiet relaxation spaces and/or backyard designs to host parties and get-togethers.
Beautiful and Functional Backyard Makeovers
Azuro backyard redesigns, some even call them backyard makeovers, are not only beautiful, they are practical and easy to maintain, leaving you free to relax in your private outdoor sanctuary or throw a party for your friends and family.

Compare Inground Custom Concrete and Prebuilt Fiberglass Swimming Pools
| Inground Concrete | Prebuilt Fiberglass | |
|---|---|---|
| Installation/ Build | After excavation, a metal/rebar frame is constructed, concrete (gunite or shotcrete) is applied to form the pool shell, and the interior surface is applied. | Fiberglass pools are pre-moulded, which allows for a faster installation after excavation than concrete pools. |
| Customization | Fully customizable to any shape or size. | Limited to prebuilt formats and sizes are based on transportation limitations (max ~15 wide). |
| Durability | When maintained, a well-built concrete pool structure will last ~50 years. | Fiberglass is a strong and resilient material that can withstand harsh weather conditions and resist cracking, making it long-lasting (~25 years). |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance. Depending on weather conditions, it may require resurfacing every ~25 years. | Low maintenance. |
| Interior Surface and Texture | Plaster, exposed aggregate, tile, or polished aggregate, which can be smooth or textured. | Gel-coat finish provides a smooth, non-slip surface that is gentle on swimmers. |
| Cleaning | Requires regular brushing and vacuuming. | Fiberglass surface discourages algae growth and minimizes the need for scrubbing, making cleaning easy and requiring fewer chemicals |
| Build Estimate* | 16 to 20+ weeks | 10 to 12 weeks |
*From permitting approval to finish. Note, a building permit is required to construct or install swimming pools in BC. Permits are issued by municipalities, and processing time varies depending on project type and your location.
