You've Only Got So Many Summers With Your Kids at Home.
A backyard built right becomes the place your family actually wants to be. Birthdays, cookouts, and quiet nights by the water all start with a pool and outdoor space designed around how you'll really use it.
You shouldn't have to wonder who's in charge of your project or worry about getting passed around between salespeople and subcontractors. With Draeger Outdoor Living, you work with one person, Walker, from your first design to your first swim.
Built Different By Design
The Difference Is In How We Build
We built our whole process to remove the frustration and guesswork that comes with typical pool construction.

Our Principles
The Draeger Difference
Three commitments that separate us from typical pool volume builders.
01
You Work With the Owner, Start to Finish
Walker designs your project and stays involved through construction, so you always know who's responsible.
02
Designed Around Your Family
Your design starts with your property, your budget, and how your family actually wants to use the space.
03
Clear Proposals Before We Break Ground
You'll see a detailed, written proposal before construction starts. No surprise invoices and no guessing what you're paying for.
Let's Talk Backyard Living
Your Backyard Starts With One Call
Start with a design consultation. Walker will walk your property and talk through your vision having that dream backyard.
