Episode 54: Fireside/Poolside Chat: How These Pool Builders use Outdoor Furniture to Increase Profits
In this episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with several industry experts and even better, we got to do it poolside! Joining us for the chat is Ledge Lounger Founder and President Christopher Anderson, David Pavlesic of Paragon Pools, and Brian Drury & Cory Stanley of Decorative Pools & Landscape. We want to thank all of these gentlemen for joining us once again, as we had an amazing time talking with all of them!
The overall theme was to start thinking bigger as an industry. Why just stop with the pool, why not design the whole project, why not give your clients the full backyard experience they crave, and why not be more profitable? These men give their clients that full experience with each and every design they do and discuss why you should start providing that for your clients as well.
We discuss the progression of the industry when it comes to outdoor living environments and the evolution of the iconic chaise and other outdoor furniture within those environments. Whether you are a pool builder, designer, landscape architect, or pool service company this episode will help you to start thinking outside the box when it comes to providing that full backyard experience for your clients. We hope you enjoy this episode.

They have expanded on that amazing product and now offer a full line of outdoor furniture.
