Poolside Living
Are you considering a pool, makeover?
Dated
Just like any other part of your home, over time, the pool area can start to look tired and outdated. Renovation will bring back life to this area. An attractive and well-designed pool and surrounds will enhance and increase the value of the property, as well as providing a wonderful area to relax and entertain.
Design
When contemplating a pool area revamp, one of the vital considerations is to ensure that the area blends seamlessly into its surroundings. The pool is a major feature and should compliment the style of the garden and house. The goal is to ensure that all hard and soft landscaping elements work in harmony, and that the internal and external living spaces flow and integrate into each other.
Hard Landscaping
The hard landscaping components such as the decking, paving, retaining walls and water features require special consideration as they need to be safe, sturdy, and aesthetically pleasing. Particular attention should be given to the choice of pavers. Stand back and contemplate the overall design of the garden and the architectural style of the house to ensure the material you choose will enhance the area.
Soft Landscaping
Careful selection and placement of plants is a must. Plants can provide privacy from neighbours as well as much needed shade. They also soften and balance the hard pool structure and surrounds. Deciduous plants and those with fine foliage are not recommended due to the number of leaves that they drop.
