PSW Showcase

Scanned. Designed. Built.

Twenty-four backyards across Western Pennsylvania. Each new project is now shown start to finish: on most, the scan of the ground as we found it; then the design, the build and the finished yard.

01
ScanA Trimble LiDAR scanner records the yard as it stands: every grade, tree and structure.
02
DesignVIZYON Design Group designs on top of the scan, with renders you can see before ground is broken.
03
BuildPSW builds it, and we photograph every stage from the first dig to the last plant.

The new front entrance at dusk: steps, pavers and lit stone pillars

Bridgeville, PA · Completed summer 2026

Koi Cove

A couple and their young child needed more space to live in, and they wanted the yard to give it. Across the work area the ground falls 12.8 ft, and the scan captured that fall before anything was drawn.

Scope: Pool, spa, decks, patios, kitchen, pergola, fire pit, front entrance
On site: November 2025 to summer 2026
Design: VIZYON Design Group

The pool at dusk under the string lights, seen through the planting on the slope above

McMurray, PA · Completed December 2024

Hideaway Hill

The only ground big enough for a pool was the lawn at the top of the bank, about 13 ft above the patio. Laid over the scan, the new pool sits where the family's swing set stood.

Scope: Pool and slide, raised wall, terraces, steps, patios, planting, driveway
On site: July to December 2024
Design: VIZYON Design Group

The pool and its scupper wall at sunset, with the valley beyond

Jefferson Hills, PA · Completed July 2025

Pine Peak

A house on a hillside lot, with the view across the valley at the back. VIZYON designed the yard as one, and PSW built it in two phases: the pool and its deck first, then the walls, steps, patio and planting.

Scope: Pool and deck, raised wall, retaining walls, steps, patio, planting, lighting, fence
On site: July 2023 to July 2025
Design: VIZYON Design Group

Earlier work

Twenty-one finished backyards.

These projects were completed before we documented the scan and the design. Each page holds the photographs of the finished yard and the story of how it was built.
