Custom Estate Design
Full-property master planning: grading, circulation, planting architecture and the sightlines that make an estate feel composed rather than assembled.
Arizona's East Valley — Est. 2013
Helix is a design-build firm for homeowners who want one accountable team from master plan to final light check. We build custom pools, masonry and hardscape at a level that holds up next to the architecture it serves.
The Firm
Helix Landscape Design & Construction builds resort-caliber outdoor environments across Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, Chandler and Scottsdale. We are a design-build firm, which means the people who draw your plan are the people accountable for building it.
We take on a limited number of estates each year so every project gets a dedicated superintendent, self-performed masonry and finish crews, and weekly reporting you don't have to chase. That structure is why our work photographs well years later, not just the week it was handed over.
Capabilities
Most clients engage us for a full backyard transformation, but every scope below can be delivered as a standalone phase of a longer master plan.
Full-property master planning: grading, circulation, planting architecture and the sightlines that make an estate feel composed rather than assembled.
Zero-edge, perimeter-overflow and geometric vessels engineered for Arizona soil, with spas, baja shelves and integrated automation.
Resurfacing, glass and stone tile, new coping, water features and equipment modernization that resets the life of the vessel.
Fire and water features, seat walls, ramadas and architectural stone laid by our own crews, never subbed and never rushed.
French-pattern travertine, large-format porcelain and honed concrete set to tolerances you can feel underfoot.
Putting greens, pickleball and basketball courts, low-voltage LED lighting and outdoor audio, all designed in from day one.

Construction
Ground-up construction of pools, spas, ramadas, outdoor kitchens, and hardscape. Engineered for Arizona soil, permitted, excavated, and finished by our own crews under one superintendent.

Remodel
Tired plaster, dated tile and failing equipment turn into a space that looks new and costs less to run. We modernize the vessel and rebuild the deck and surrounds around it.

Design
Design contracts start at $1,500 and produce a buildable plan: site measurements, grading, material selections and photoreal 3D renderings you can walk through before construction is priced.
Financing
Many of our clients fund their project through a home improvement loan rather than pulling from savings. We'll introduce you to lending partners who specialize in pool and outdoor living projects, then work to your approved budget.
A soft credit check gives you a working budget before design begins.
Simple monthly payments with no prepayment penalty from most lenders.
Funds release by construction milestone, so you pay for progress.
Financing is provided by third-party lenders. Approval, rates and terms are set by the lender and are not guaranteed by Helix.
Products & Materials
We install proven, warrantied product lines and show you full-size samples during design so nothing is a surprise on install day.
French pattern travertine, large-format porcelain and premium concrete pavers.
Pebble and quartz interiors, glass and stone waterline tile, natural stone coping.
Variable-speed pumps, heaters, sanitation and app-based control.
Multi-tone synthetic turf, low-voltage LED and weatherproof outdoor audio.
Selected Work





The Process
A property walk and budget conversation. We confirm scope, site constraints and whether Helix is the right firm for the work.
Concept plans, material boards and 3D renderings so you approve the finished space before a single trench is cut.
Permits, engineering and self-performed crews under one superintendent. Weekly progress reporting, no phase hand-offs.
Systems walkthrough, planting care plan and a warranty file. We stay reachable long after the final invoice.
Investment
We publish our minimum out of respect for your time. Below that number we can't staff a project with the crews, engineering and oversight our standard requires, and we'd rather tell you now than three weeks into a design.
Hardscape, turf, a masonry feature and lighting complete a defined portion of the yard.
New pool or major remodel with decking, shade structure, kitchen and planting.
Whole-property master plan: pool and spa, courts, ramadas, water features, phased delivery.
Ranges reflect typical completed Helix projects. Final investment depends on site conditions, access, engineering and material selections.
