Swimming Pool

When the gorgeous weather returns, there might be nothing better than having added a luxurious swimming pool area to your backyard. Having a swimming pool in the landscape can refresh your body as well as your spirit. 

An infinity pool is not called that because it never stops but because it is designed to blend into the infinite horizon beyond. Consider a fresh twist on an infinity pool in the form of a meditation infinity pool situated as a circle. Many infinity pools are large and seem to drop off the edge into a large body of water or the dramatic mountains but what if your infinity pool looks like a round teardrop just dropped into your landscape. Surrounded by smooth river rock and accessed by a flagstone pathway, the purpose of this pool is for stress relief and contemplation. 

Serenity Garden

Another idea for an opulent landscape addition can be a serenity garden. Often marked by the existence of a fountain, a relaxing sitting space, and raked gravel or sand, a serenity garden can help to relieve the stresses of life.

Your landscaper can begin with a majestic tree where they can place a waterfall that spills into a pond nearby, giving you shade and the soothing sound of spilling water together there. By choosing oversized boulders for the waterfall, a landscaper can introduce the weight and natural color of stone into the design. Adding a flat stone pathway to meander through the yard to the water can be another excellent way to keep natural materials at the forefront of the design. 

Off to the side of the waterfall can be a perfect spot for a pergola in a dark gray color to blend with the rest of the landscape or a pergola built of trees as the posts and beams. When you keep the rough bark on the trees, this can add more texture and interest. 

A Trio of Fire

Why have one firepit when you can have three? Your landscaper can design a trio of firepits to bring a dramatic flair to your backyard landscape. In this way, there can be more space around the fire for you and your guests.

Recessed into the patio, a trio of firepits can light up the nighttime landscape even when you don’t want to head outside to sit by the fire—just seeing them flickering through the windows can be special, too. 

Covered Relaxation Spot 

When your landscape service builds a covered outdoor room for you, the activities won’t be limited by the weather but when you have them add two full suspended beds from the ceiling, you might never go inside. Many outdoor rooms have beautiful and comfortable furniture but suspended beds can provide the ultimate relaxation.

Buffeted by bolsters and thick mattresses, these hanging beds can be out of scale and proportion to the landscape for a visual focal point. Keep the throws, pillows, and coverings neutral to create a Zen spot or introduce bright patterns and colors for a fun space.
