With a strong team of experienced and qualified professionals, including architects, engineers and designers, Frank Bowman Designs has a track record of taking the simplest to the most complex project from dream to reality. Frank meets personally with each client to gather information and survey the site.

I view landscape design and construction as both an art and a science. Every great Swimming Pool & Outdoor Living Environment begins with a vision or idea, and Frank Bowman Designs is committed to providing a one-of-a-kind, Custom Swimming Pool designed to fit your individual needs and tastes. The passion that I have for a project is directly related to the value that the client places upon the design. Every Outdoor Living Design presents a unique set of challenges that must be addressed in order to create functional and beautiful spaces.
Backyard Swimming Pools have been bringing together friends, neighbors and families for thousands of years. Most of you have wonderful childhood memories of cannon ball contests, water volleyball and diving for pennies but since that time swimming pools have come a long way. The days of "Kidney Bean Shaped" pools with three feet of concrete apron, inefficient loud pumps and chlorine pucks have been replaced with custom waterscapes incorporating natural stone patios & lush landscaping, custom glass tile & pebble finishes, web based automation, in-floor cleaning systems and architectural details like infinity edge and perimeter overflows that boggle the mind.
Driveways are complex to install properly, and in fact, Frank Bowman Designs is often hired to re-construct poorly designed driveways. Frank Bowman Designs focuses on proper drainage, the crowning of the driveway, and water flow. We can use eco friendly pavers that allow water to move through the pavers into the gravel base. This eco friendly paving system creates zero run off, as opposed to 100 percent run off when using asphalt or concrete.
Often considered "softscape", trees, shrubs, and flowering plants, are the outdoor elements that make your house a home. Functionality is the driving force behind strong landscaping design, followed by visual appeal. Professional landscape designers will develop a customized plan based on the unique features of the client's home and outdoor space. Plants have to be chosen carefully, taking into consideration appropriate heights, desired look, color coordination, textures, bloom times, and any accompanying hardscape features.
Custom built kitchens, stone barbecues pits, bars, and similar landscaping architecture has become very popular in recent years as clients want to transform their outdoor spaces into functional, cozy areas designed to entertain and relax. Frank Bowman Designs has installed custom outdoor gourmet kitchens featuring refrigerators, ice makers, trash compactors, wine bars, ovens, grills, islands and just about anything else you can imagine. Materials used to create a custom look and feel to meet the individualized needs of the client include wood, segmental block, natural stone, granite and brick.
Custom fireplaces and fire pits can be built into almost any part of the landscape to provide warmth, comfort, beauty and functionality. Fire features range from a simple fire pit lined with stone to an upright, fully functional brick pizza oven. Always safety conscious, Frank Bowman Designs builds in necessary drainage systems, ensures that the fire feature is placed in a safe area, and lines fireplaces appropriately with a mortar liner or fireproof brick. To add visual flair, all types of mantels, from wood to different styles of stone, can be built into the fireplace.

Retaining walls are commonly used to level or retain slopes and give them a more vertical character. Generally, the more restricted or congested the site, the greater the need for retaining walls to provide usable space for landscape purposes. Some retaining walls are functional, constructed for structural needs, and other retaining walls are built for visual appeal. Retaining walls built for visual effect sometimes feature an informal shape, they often complement other landscape features such as plants and hardscapes.
Frank Bowman Designs has installed everything from simple walkways and patios to very elaborate terraced multi level patio systems. With a broad range of materials available and a desire to create welcoming and functional spaces, Frank Bowman Designs will build or rebuild patios, terraces and walkways that satisfy both requirements. Our speciality is natural stone, but our experience does not stop there. All of our patios and walkways are set on a solid reinforced concrete base and then placed using modified mortar to withstand the test of freeze / thaw cycles.
