Add to your outdoor living with these landscaping ideas
A swimming pool is a wonderful lifestyle choice, it gives you options for health with exercise, and wellness with connection to nature and beauty with soothing sounds and beautiful reflections.
Adding extra dimensions to your swimming spaces can be done in a number of ways, with these landscaping ideas making your outdoor space more relaxing, inviting and enjoyable.
Make extra living space
Additional living space near your pool means it will be used much more often, as you will regularly see the pool and want to dive in. The best ways to do this are with a patio nearby, or a deck. You can make a patio from natural stone, in a retro crazy paving look, or a more structured herringbone style. Adding a deck can be for a small section at the end or the side or the pool, or fully surrounding it.
Even with a smaller lap pool or splash pool, if you have a nearby space where you can take time out of your day near the pool to read, relax, have a glass of wine, listen to music or sunbake in comfort. There are plenty of design options to suit your aesthetic, landscape and budget.
Add interest with a water feature
f you are taking some time to wind down by the pool, the sound of running water can help you to relax with a beautiful background noise. Modern options include having water flowing from a column style fountain, or using a statue or feature fountain with a tropical style.
Adding to this with beautiful planting, lighting and focal points of spotlights on larger trees, will create and encompass a fully envisaged room that connects your indoor and outdoor lifestyle.
Make it low maintenance
To make sure you get the most enjoyment from your outdoor space, make it low maintenance. This can be achieved with a variety of products and materials.
For stone and paving, we highly recommend natural stone options like limestone or travertine as it is already weathered and will withstand the elements while looking great for years! For decking and fencing, there are many recycled and eco-friendly options, including modern composite materials.
If you want natural grasses without the maintenance, artificial turfs come in a variety of threads, lengths and feel. You can have something that is an easy care hose down, while looking like a patch of natural grass.
