What's better than escaping to a resort for a relaxing weekend? Having a resort-like swimming pool in your own backyard. No longer will you have to board a plane, deal with the hassle of traveling, and be away from the comfort of your own home when you have a custom pool built in your Northport or Syosset, NY area home. Here are some of the ways a pool can help you make the most of your backyard space.
The Design of a Custom Pool
As you consider building a custom pool in your backyard, think about adding extra outdoor amenities that will allow the complete poolscape to be suited to your hobbies and design preferences.
Your landscape company can suggest the ideal upgrades to make your backyard more useful and pleasurable during the planning stages of your pool. Do you intend to routinely host extended family? Do you like the thought of preparing a large supper for everyone? Do you like the notion of having several distinct spaces, or would you prefer a simpler, more streamlined landscape design?
When a swimming pool is added, your backyard will undergo a significant transformation, so you'll want everything about it to be wonderful—from the initial design to the final paver installation.
Every Outdoor Feature Counts
In theory, every element in a landscape design should have a function that gives the area a sense of completion. The pool deck pavers for your new pool can be long-lasting, cool underfoot, and gorgeous from the minute they are installed through all swimming seasons. Other outdoor elements may enhance the utility of your swimming area.
Plan for Shade
Both swimmers and non-swimmers can find relief from the heat of the day under a shade structure such as a pavilion or pergola. Taking frequent breaks from the sun can also help to stave off tiredness.
Planning a space for shade can improve your pool space design, whether you decide to erect a pergola for dappled shade or a cabana that is completely covered. Ceiling fans can be installed in both spaces to maintain the breezes that will keep you and your guests cool on a hot day. Guests can have lunch there and take a cat nap when the area is big enough for multiple lounge chairs and perhaps an outside table and chairs.
Have an Outdoor Bar Designed
An outside bar where you serve your friends and family cold drinks can be rather refreshing on a hot summer day. Additionally, you might store cool sodas, waters, and other beverages here for convenient access so the kids can stay hydrated. Having a deep sink at your outdoor bar allows customers to wash their hands before a meal and makes cleanup easier after everyone has left.
Fire Features
A designated area for a fire pit provides you with a regular location to enjoy the warmth and ambiance only fire can provide. This spot may become your favorite place to unwind after a tiring day at work at the conclusion of a wonderful day of swimming. Choose from a rustic, wood-burning fire pit or an easy-to-use gas-powered fire feature. A majestic outdoor fireplace is another excellent option.
