We had the good fortune of connecting with Alex Tyler and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alex, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
The standardized “Pool Design” company was being limited by artistic touches and approaches to their design, and the industry has drastically changed in the last decade from your more cliche kidney-bean pool with rock grotto, to a more modern and clean-lined approach with fully amenitized pools and backyards.

What should our readers know about your business?
It wasn’t an easy path to discover, but along the way, I used my connections and my mentors to help support me through the building of Alchemy Exteriors.

Specializing in the design and construction of Luxury Pools, Outdoor living, and high-end commercial design, Alchemy Exteriors focuses on a project where a client desires a creative solution, which is what the industry was really missing.

I began primarily focusing on landscape architecture and design, but after entering and winning the “Million Dollar Pool Challenge” at the International Pool and Spa show in Las Vegas, I knew that there was an opportunity to become one of the top pool designers in the nation. This “atta-boy” prompted me to focus in on designing and building luxury pools for clients who care about a creative process rather than just slapping a pool into their backyard.

At Alchemy Exteriors, we believe in a creative process that is engaging, intriguing, and design-forward, and thats what sets us apart from 99% of other contractors.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My family and my clients. Without the support of my family pushing me to work my creative outlook into the construction and pool industry, I would still be working underneath the umbrella of a larger firm, playing just the part of a support designer in a big fish bowl.

My past and present clients have allowed Alchemy to expand the typical design realm, and they have trusted us to provide and build amazing products for them.
