Creative Visual Storytelling

About Us

Haven Outdoor Living was created around a simple idea: your backyard should feel like a personal refuge. A place where you unwind, reconnect, and escape the pace of everyday life.

We bring together thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and an understanding of how people actually live and gather outdoors. The result is a space that feels intentional, inviting, and meaningful.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to design and build a custom pool?

At Ruben Pool Designs, every project is unique, but on average the design process takes 1–2 weeks depending on complexity. Once construction begins, most pools are completed within 8–12 weeks. Larger outdoor living projects with kitchens, patios, or custom features may take a little longer. We’ll provide you with a clear timeline up front so you always know what to expect.

Do you only design pools, or can you create full backyard spaces?

We specialize in complete outdoor living solutions. In addition to custom pools, we design and build patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, fire features, and water features. Whether you want a simple pool or a full backyard resort, we can bring your vision to life.
