Inground Pool Landscaping Ideas to Integrate Your Pool with Your Backyard
Inground pool installation can completely transform your backyard into a place for loved ones to gather and spend time, especially in the summer. However, as all great pool contractors know, that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your landscaping. On the contrary, even simple, budget-friendly landscaping initiatives can turn your backyard into a relaxing oasis.
Read on to learn more about pool landscaping ideas for integrating your pool with your backyard with Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs today!
Creating a Natural Ambiance
Having natural elements like rocks, boulders, and natural stones around your pool area is a beautiful and low-maintenance way to make your backyard more dynamic and visually appealing. Accentuate them with plants and greenery that complement your surrounding landscape to create a natural paradise. This way, you can always have an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Poolside Privacy
There’s nothing more relaxing than privacy, especially when you’re lounging around the pool area. Hedges, fences or trellises around your pool area can give you an enhanced sense of privacy that makes unwinding easier while still feeling welcoming to you and your family. Strategically placing plants or trees can also create a sense of seclusion in poolside spaces for added privacy.
Functional and Aesthetic Pool Decking
Sure, a proper deck is a necessary part of inground pool installations, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use it to elevate your style. There are endless options, from fun tile patterns in bold colours to distinguished wood panels. You can also consider stone, concrete or composite materials for your deck. However, it's essential that whatever you pick is both safe and durable. To help select the right deck materials, contact the team at Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs. They can help you find an option that prioritizes safety and aesthetics.
Creative Lighting and Accents
Proper lighting is the key to setting any mood. Transition your pool from day to night with creative lighting options that add to your pool’s ambiance. LED lights both in and out of the pool can give a fun vibe, while pathway and ambient lighting can give a soft and magical atmosphere. You can even have colour-changing lights that let your swimmers know it's time to party!
Harmonizing with Water Features
Water features are a surefire way to inject some calm into your life, and they do the trick even outside of pool season. Integrating fountains, waterfalls, or even decorative ponds gives you a visual embodiment of relaxation, even when you’re in the pool. The sound alone of water running can be enough to unfurrow anyone’s brow. To create a water feature that works cohesively with your backyard oasis, contact the expert pool contractors at Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs.
Maintenance and Sustainability
When selecting your plants and landscaping materials, it’s important to think in advance about maintenance. The less time you have to spend tending to your backyard, the more time you can spend relaxing and enjoying the view. Interestingly enough, low-maintenance plants tend to be the most environmentally friendly. This is because they tend to use less water and be native to the area. To really emphasize your backyard’s eco-friendliness, you can use sustainable natural materials that don’t deteriorate over time, like rocks to decorate.
