The largest companies juggle dozens of jobs simultaneously. Celestia deliberately limits project volume so every client receives direct, personal attention from Jon Hardwick from design through final walkthrough.
Most pool companies build pools and stop. Most hardscape companies pour concrete and leave. Celestia designs and builds the complete outdoor environment — pool, hardscape, turf, plants, outdoor kitchen, fire features, and irrigation — under one roof, with one point of contact and one standard of quality throughout.
Arizona's extreme heat, caliche rock, monsoon drainage requirements, and HOA architectural standards require a contractor who deeply understands this environment. We build exclusively in Arizona.

Frequently Asked Questions
Celestia Pool & Landscape LLC is a licensed luxury hardscaping and outdoor living contractor in Scottsdale, Arizona. Founded by Jon Hardwick, Celestia specializes in high-end hardscaping, paver installation, freestanding outdoor kitchens, fire features, water features, irrigation systems, and complete outdoor living transformations for luxury homes in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, DC Ranch, Silverleaf, Gainey Ranch, and North Scottsdale. Celestia holds an Arizona ROC CR-21 license for Hardscaping and Irrigation Systems.
Hardscape and outdoor living projects in Scottsdale vary widely based on scope and materials. A travertine patio or pool surround typically runs $15,000–$40,000. A complete outdoor living transformation including hardscape, outdoor kitchen, fire features, water features, and landscape can range from $60,000–$200,000+. Celestia provides complimentary design consultations and detailed written proposals for every project.
Travertine stays 20–30°F cooler than dark pavers or concrete in direct Arizona sunlight — critical when summer temperatures exceed 110°F. It's also naturally slip-resistant and has an elegant, timeless aesthetic that complements luxury home architecture. It's the preferred pool deck material for Scottsdale's luxury market for good reason. Celestia specializes in travertine installation throughout the Phoenix Valley.
Yes. Hardscaping and irrigation work in Arizona requires a CR-21 license from the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Pool construction requires a separate KA-5 or B-5 Swimming Pool and Spa license. Always verify a contractor's license at azroc.gov before signing any contract. Celestia Pool & Landscape LLC holds an active CR-21 license. Hiring an unlicensed contractor puts you at significant risk — work may not meet code, insurance claims can be denied, and the ROC cannot assist in disputes.
From first consultation to swimming, expect 4–6 months. Design and proposal typically takes 1–2 weeks. HOA architectural approval (where applicable) adds 2–4 weeks. City permitting in Scottsdale adds 2–6 weeks. Construction itself runs 8–14 weeks. If you want to be swimming by Memorial Day, start your consultation in October or November.
Absolutely. Natural grass in Scottsdale and Phoenix demands enormous water consumption and battles extreme summer heat. Premium artificial turf eliminates water bills, stays lush year-round with zero maintenance, and looks exceptional around pools and patios. Modern synthetic grass is UV-stabilized for Arizona's intense sun. Celestia installs heat-rated, high-face-weight turf products specifically selected for Phoenix-area conditions — not the cheap products that get dangerously hot in summer.
Celestia Pool & Landscape LLC is a licensed CR-21 paver and hardscaping contractor serving Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the Phoenix Valley.

Verify our license at azroc.gov.
In Scottsdale's luxury market, the highest-ROI outdoor investments are: (1) custom pool with spa — typically recovers 50–70% in resale value; (2) travertine or paver pool deck and patio; (3) outdoor kitchen with built-in grill and refrigeration; (4) shade structures including pergolas and ramadas; (5) fire features for year-round use.
