For Chris and Jen Hansen, one of the best things about their new backyard was the views of the Conservancy land. They decided to make that a focus when creating a backyard oasis with Pristine Acres. During initial consultations with Pristine Acres, they mentioned that they would move to Wyoming if jobs would allow. Pristine Acres used that idea for guidance when designing, and incorporated natural materials wherever possible to create a rustic yet clean and refined look. Chris says, “I still can’t get over the stonework. For the bar, spa, reverse beam wall, and fireplace, they chipped each piece to fit. It was very time-consuming, but the end product is perfect. It’s a great example of how they live up to their quality.”

In fact, their favorite part of the design is the reverse beam in the pool, which allows for unobstructed views of the woods while floating. And Chris says, “the most unique aspect of our project is the breezeway. Not only does it provide a constant breeze and cover for eating and grilling, but it also isolates the backyard from adjacent properties thanks to the Conservancy border.”

The Hansens describe their backyard now as “unique, practical, and natural.” They are so happy with the end result, they wouldn’t change a thing: “It really comes down to trusting the contractor you work with,” says Chris. “Their Project Managers are fantastic. At one point, we had three of them sitting on our side porch debating the trim tile for the pool for over an hour!” He added, “Pristine is where quality meets craftmanship!”
