Personal Considerations in Pool Landscaping
Define
what you want to use your garden or patio space for. Your space, furniture and
design will be affected by whether you use it for reading, relaxing, playing
or entertaining.
If relaxation is your goal, consider soft flower
colors and perhaps a hammock. If entertaining is your purpose, consider a built-in
fireplace or fully equipped barbecue plus a large patio and a spacious lawn
to better accommodate guests.
Environmental Considerations in Pool Landscaping
Personal taste is absolutely important and yard art will define a theme and tone around your pool. If you love the sounds of nature, consider wind chimes, bird baths or feeders. Ponds and fountains are also great for relaxing and soothing noise.
Your pool landscaping design will depend on whether
your backyard has any physical or architectural limitations. These include hills,
irrigation or telephone poles. For slopes or hills, retaining walls or a raised
deck may need to be part of the design.
Environmental factors will also determine your
backyard's look. A patio should also have wonderful view and be situated out
of the wind. Placing a patio close to your house will be the most practical.
Also, think where you receive sunlight and at what times. Sun exposure will
determine plants, shrubs and awnings. If privacy is a concern, fencing, trellises,
vines, ivy and hedges may need to be considered.
Pool Decks and Patios
The
type of patio or pool deck that you choose on will probably affect certain landscaping
elements. Patio and deck materials are crucial. Wood is the most common material
used in decks. For pool patios, concrete, brick, cobblestone and marble can
be used. A deck or patio should be non-slipping and cool to walk on as well
as aesthetically enhancing. Wooden decks work well with wooden trellises or
privacy screens and matching flower boxes. A concrete pool patio will better
match stone fountains and concrete art.
Swimming Pool
Decking
When thinking about landscape designs for pools,
an important decision to make is what type of pool paving material to use.
Paving around pools is a little different than other areas. You don't want
to select swimming pool decking that will be hot on the feet. Bluestone,
which I love, is known for this, so I rarely recommend it to be used.
Some materials to consider that work well around
pools are other natural stones, such as Idaho Quartz or Tennessee Crab Orchard,
travertine pavers, concrete pavers, stamped concrete, and concrete pool
decking.
Note:
When excavating for the pool and/or changing the grade of the land, be careful
of any large trees on the property. Raising or lowering the grade outside
the drip line (diameter of branching) of the tree will cause the decline
of the tree.
Pool Waterfalls
Landscape designs for pools often incorporate
a waterfall. People love the look and sound of moving water! To get the
most natural look, it is important that the waterfall is located at an existing
higher elevation than your pool.
Here are some
interesting design tips for Spas-pool-waterfalls designs.
Spas can be designed as part of the pool itself,
or set apart in the pool paving. For spas (hot tubs) integrated with the
swimming pool, a variety of different designs can be used.
Spas can be designed either with or without
a waterfall into the pool. They can be set at an elevation close to the
pool paving height.
The spa can be elevated to create a more dramatic
waterfall.
Spas may have steps leading up to it, so that
the spa becomes part of a raised platform.
If you have the space, you might want to use
this space as a sitting area!
Spas can also be a free standing hot tubs unit purchased
from a spa company. All the mechanisms are in the unit itself.
Swimming Pool Fencing
This element of your project should be thought
about at the very beginning.
Shade
Landscape designs for pools should incorporate
some shade at the pool area. There are ways to do this which add to the
beauty of the landscape. Here are some ways to create that shade.
Shade trees
Designers often provide shade trees in an area
of the property where shade from the tree will be cast on the pool paving
area. Some of the trees They love to use are 'October Glory' Red Maple and
Japanese Zelkova.
Pergola
A pergola is a nice architectural element to
have in a design and particularly at poolside. It is classic and elegant.
It can be sized to accommodate dining furniture and lounges. If placed in
the design artistically, it can become a dramatic focal point.
Pool Landscape Lighting
Path lights around the pool will create lighting
for night use. Up lights in nearby trees will add some lighting also. Torch
lights are a great way to create lighting for areas where typical lighting
does not seem to work. And torch lights create a wonderful ambiance! You
want your swimming pool lighting to be functional, but also subtle.
Swimming Pool Furniture
When creating landscape designs for pools and
the pool paving, Designers always make sure the spaces will be large enough
for the desired seating. They usually allow a minimum of 15' for a table
and chairs and 10' for lounges. I try to make the area used for dining easily
accessible to the kitchen. When designing and selecting places for lounges,
They make sure to face them so that the best view is taken advantage of.
For example, if there is a nice mountain view on the property, You could
position the lounges for that viewing. Landscape designs for pools can make
lounging and dining at this outdoor area all the more enjoyable by considering
what people will be looking at.
There are many different styles of furniture that can be used in the pool
area. Some popular favorites are teak, all weather wicker, and Adirondack
chairs. Teak wood outdoor furniture is particularly desirable due to many
factors.
