About Us

Elevate Your Outdoors with Dan Skelton Designs

Dan Skelton Design began with a simple belief: that outdoor spaces deserve the same architectural rigor as a home’s interior. With over 30 years of experience, Dan brings a mastery of space, function, and detail to every project—designing entire outdoor environments that feel effortless, elegant, and enduring. From custom pools and terraces to lighting, drainage, and gardens, we create outdoor living experiences that are as refined as they are livable. Because true luxury isn’t about what you add— it’s about how everything works together

Dan Skelton Designs is a family-owned business by Dan and Harlee Skelton. Dan’s background is over 30 years of landscaping experience in many of Northern Atlanta’s most high-end neighborhoods. Unlike many pool builders we start every project from a landscape architect’s perspective designing all elements of the project including the landscaping, lighting, irrigation, drainage, additional hardscapes and of course the pool. Our goal is not to just dig a hole and build a pool as fast as possible then go to the next job. At Dan Skelton Designs we transform the entire outdoor living space.

Why hire a successful landscape company to build your pool? At Dan Skelton Designs we employee a full – time registered landscape architect that leads our design team which sets us apart from a lot of our competition by creating a complete budget for our clients. This budget includes the initial design, in-house permitting, to the beautiful pool and the completion of the landscaping and fencing. With more than 100 years of combined high end pool construction and landscape experience on our staff our attention to detail is unmatched. Unlike many other landscapers that are trying to build pools, we have in-house pool construction crews, dedicated pool construction supervisors and project managers. We are the pool builder. We are the landscape company with dedicated crews that specialize in high -end residential landscaping.
