Most people calling a Scottsdale pool builder want one number. The honest answer is a range, and it depends more on the property than most homeowners expect.
What actually drives this
A full backyard transformation, pool, hardscape, and structures together, typically lands between $80,000 and $150,000. A pergola and outdoor kitchen alone, without a pool, typically runs $30,000 to $50,000. What moves a project from the low end of a range to the high end is rarely the pool shell itself: it is the slope of the lot, the soil conditions, and what is already back there that a contractor has to work around or remove.
That is also why a real contractor will not give an exact number over the phone. Marcus walks every property himself before quoting anything, because guessing at a number sight unseen either lowballs the job and invites change orders later, or overshoots it and loses the homeowner before the conversation even starts. The FTC's own guidance on hiring a contractor flags exactly this pattern: an unusually low phone quote is a warning sign, not a deal.
A rough range or answer for this business
If you are picturing a full backyard, pool included, plan on $80,000 to $150,000. If you are picturing a pergola and outdoor kitchen without a pool, plan on $30,000 to $50,000 instead, see what an outdoor kitchen and pergola project actually includes. From there, a real walk-through of your specific property is what turns a range into an actual number, and it is worth checking that number against a licensed Arizona contractor before you sign anything.
Also worth reading first: questions to ask any pool builder before you sign.
