Ottawa Home & Garden and Andrew Peterson are pleased to announce that inground pool installation is one of the outdoor living components Ottawa homeowners are choosing to enhance family recreational opportunities. As travel costs surge and cross-border trips decline, Ottawa homeowners are redirecting vacation budgets into permanent backyard spaces they can enjoy every summer – not just once.

A five-day Canadian family vacation now runs $3,000–$5,000, and Statistics Canada data shows Canadian travel to the US has dropped 22% by air and 33% by car. That money is increasingly going into pools, outdoor kitchens, and fully landscaped backyard environments instead. The Canadian outdoor kitchen market alone is growing at 9.5% annually, and Gen X homeowners – the primary spenders on renovations – are averaging over $25,000 per project. Ottawa Home & Garden sits at the centre of this shift.

Ottawa Home & Garden is a family-owned outdoor living company founded in 1998 by Andrew and Jaime Peterson. For over 28 years, their professional team of swimming pool contractors has served homeowners across the Ottawa region with complete backyard design and construction – including custom inground steel wall and vinyl liner pools, poolscaping, landscaping, hardscaping, and outdoor structures.

The company specializes in complete backyard transformations: custom inground steel wall and vinyl liner pools, poolscaping, landscaping, hardscaping, lighting, and outdoor structures – all delivered by one in-house team with no subcontractors. Where most homeowners are forced to coordinate multiple trades themselves, Ottawa Home & Garden handles everything under one roof, eliminating delays, miscommunication, and cost overruns.

The company has distilled this into a single phrase now printed on the back of every crew member’s work shirt: No passports required. It captures exactly what Ottawa families are looking for – a backyard that feels like a getaway, without the airfare, the coordination, or the one-time-use price tag of a vacation.

Andrew Peterson says, “There are no subcontractors – ever. Pool installation, poolscaping, landscaping, and outdoor structures are all managed in-house, eliminating coordination delays, trade finger-pointing, and cost overruns common with multi-vendor projects. Our target audience comprises Ottawa-area homeowners, particularly Gen X families (ages 43-58) investing in long-term outdoor living spaces as an alternative to costly annual vacations. We have built a reputation for quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and exceptional customer satisfaction.”

“As a family-run business,” he continued, “we understand the importance of having a private retreat during hot Ottawa summers – a place to reconnect, recharge, and make lasting memories together. The result is a fully customized dream backyard oasis built to last, and tailored to how your family lives and entertains for generations to come. If you are considering upgrading your outdoor space with a custom-designed inground pool and beautiful poolscape, Ottawa Home & Garden provides in-ground pool consultations and quotes for residents of Ottawa, Kanata, Nepean, Orleans, Stittsville, Barrhaven and surrounding areas.”
