I have recently met a woman named Paula with a nice house in north Scottsdale that found my website. She wants to get her fence started finally, actually this new backyard fence will give her the privacy she’s wanting. This 8’ tall fence has been a 3.5-year journey dealing with neighbors, the local HOA and the city of Scottsdale.
This will be only the beginning because Paula also wants to remodel her pool, backyard and add a casita also. Fortunately, she has lots of construction docs for myself to view. Looking at the approved site plan from the city of Scottsdale, I don’t see an area big enough to place a small casita. I guess the plans were done before the thought of a casita. The biggest change will be to add 50’ more fencing in the North direction. It is a small change on a plan but if you think more about it, we also have to account for more materials and labor too.
At this point, Dimitri my GC is going to continue the process of building this massive stucco covered fence, with a few plan modifications of course. Another item that wasn’t thought about is getting access to her new yard area. Looking at the overall scheme, it makes sense to add a 12’ wide rv gate that would eventually get blocked by the new casita from the house.

The start of the Rose backyard renovation 5.15.23
This is the start of Ms. Rose’s backyard; you can see on the right this first rendition layout of the casita/pool room. With myself looking at this first plan, there are going to be little tweaks to enhance the look and function of this plan, such as the outdoor shower and bath placed closest to the pool. I guess most like the idea of a pool room so the fancy main house doesn’t get trashed and soaked.
Actually, this casita will be close to the end of the project. Utilizing that 12’ gate for access to the pool remodeling and lap pool additions. Now this back backyard area would eventually be a welcome addition, adding more function here makes perfect sense. I’m thinking Paula mentioned she would like a lap pool; this new area is a great place for that. Using the main pool spill over area to incorporate the lap pool feature connected makes for a complete system. I’ve been thinking of this new addition and thought it would also be cool to also have a shallow baja bench there too. Ms. Rose has small nieces and nephews coming to visit often.
