A pool is a showpiece — but it’s the surround that turns it into a resort-style retreat. Thoughtful landscaping makes a pool safer, more private and far more beautiful. Here are the ideas we come back to again and again.
Choose the Right Surround
The decking around a pool has to look incredible and stay cool, slip-resistant and durable underfoot. Natural stone and quality pavers deliver on all counts, and let us shape generous lounging areas with clean, custom borders.
Layer in Privacy and Shade
Evergreen planting, cedar fencing and a pergola or cabana create a sense of seclusion and give you relief from the midday sun — the difference between a pool you use occasionally and one you live in all summer.
Don’t Forget the Evenings
Soft landscape lighting along paths, steps and planting beds extends the day and makes the whole space feel magical after dark — while keeping it safe to move around once the sun goes down.
