Landforms

Our clients in Bloomfield Michigan wanted their old wooden steps replaced with something safe, sturdy and beautiful. We installed 35 natural guillotine cut stone steps each weighing over 200 lbs. To soften the slope we incorporated tumbled paver landings. Along with a stepping stone pathway to the dock we installed a tumbled block seating wall. Both sides were enhanced with lots of perennials to add color and interest. Landscape lighting was installed to add beauty and safety in the evenings. Landforms Inc.

Possum Kingdom Cliffside Paradise

Mike Farley Pool Designer, SWD, ASLA

Sunsets provide daily enjoyment from this natural cliffside stunning oasis in Possum Kingdom Lake designed by Mike Farley. The desire to sit and enjoy the lake view from the pool required the spa and barstools to be pushed to the point on the cliff edge. The granite swim up bar top blends with new materials and provides a great place to enjoy a drink while watching the jet skis and boats go by. The spa was nestled into the natural waterfall. The new flagstone patio and beach entry match the existing patio. The dry stack flagstone bridge was built across the major drainage from the front roadway to the lake by a natural looking stream bed. We desired a natural waterfall that kept the view open to the primary focal point, the lake. For that reason we kept the boulders low and wide. All the boulders are stone from the lot in order to blend in with the natural cliffside. The pool creates the oasis between the new casita and the beautiful lake. Photos by Mike Farley

Platte County Paradise

Nature's Touch

Three levels of water, two large rock waterfalls and two fire features make up the luxury swimming pool and deck for Platte County Paradise. The highest pool level features a hot tub from which water spills into the main pool. From the main pool, an infinity edge that runs 30 feet in length spills water down 8 feet into the plunge pool. A slide wraps around a rock water fall and ends in the plunge pool. A beautiful stone and iron staircase escorts you and your guests to the slide. For this rustic design, all rocks were drilled and pinned into the gunnite shell with apoxy. The grotto was built so that swimmers can enter from either side to find seating. The cave is designed to hold a large group for parties. We installed two fire features; one is intended for a large gathering where outdoor couches offer seating. The other feature is at patio level. This luxury pool contains every amenity imaginable including a swim-up bar, full and cabana dry stacked with stone and featuring timber that was selected from the property.

Grey Pool Design Ideas

Swimming pools are heavenly during hot Australian and New Zealand summers and are the perfect way to cool down, relax, entertain friends and even get fit. A pool can also create visual interest, especially when you consider features like coloured pool tiles, lighting and landscaping. If you are short on space, you might still fit a lap pool, plunge pool or swim spa, all of which could be focal points in your small garden. As you plan your pool design, map out your space and determine what size, shape and style works best for you. Browse the photos on Houzz for design ideas for above ground pools, inground pools, as well as pool landscaping and novelty features like pool slides or water features. Then, save your favourite photos to an ideabook, and get in touch with the experts behind your favourite picks.

What type of pool should I install?

The dimensions of your backyard will determine the type of inground pools you can install. Take into account boundary restrictions and pool fencing compliance. Fibreglass versions are cheaper, and quicker to install; whereas concrete constructions are better suited to tricky sites and give you more freedom in design. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to commit to an inground pool, above ground pools are a more affordable alternative. If you only have a small backyard, a plunge pool is a great solution, and can easily run along a boundary wall or down the side of a house. This option is also low maintenance, can be heated for use in winter, and can do double duty as a swim spa. A long, narrow space, on the other hand, could fit a lap pool, whereas a water feature could fill an awkward space. If your backyard features a stunning vista, consider an infinity pool to accentuate the view.

What pool fencing options are available?

While the specifics vary from state to state, fencing is required of most pool designs. However, pool fencing doesn’t have to obscure your pool design. Glass fencing is increasingly popular for this reason exactly, and is available framed, frameless, semi-frameless and even in-ground. A cheaper alternative is aluminium or steel fencing, which, again, are available in a variety of styles: flat top, loop-top, double-top and wire-based.

What pool landscaping features should I consider?

To get the most out of your pool, design an area that offers multiple hangouts. Include a nearby barbecue, dining area, seating for lounging and outdoor shower. Having shaded areas will give you more reason to stay poolside longer, too. Timber decking and stone paving are popular choices for pool surrounds, and are also helpful in creating zones. Just imagine a raised timber platform with a daybed – a luxurious, resort-style addition to any pool design. Leafy trees and rocks will create a more natural-looking oasis, and will help provide more privacy for swimmers. Where you want your landscape to be the main focus, keep pool equipment and furnishings to a minimum.
