Turn your backyard into a luxurious oasis with a stunning pool, patio, and landscaping that enhances relaxation, entertainment, and aesthetics. At Martin John Company, we specialize in creating outdoor retreats that seamlessly integrate with your home, transforming it into a paradise of beauty and tranquility. From harmonizing design elements to prioritizing safety, functionality, and aesthetic appeal, each decision plays a pivotal role in creating a cohesive and inviting outdoor sanctuary.
Pool Design
Choosing the appropriate pool shape and size for your space is crucial. Whether opting for a sleek rectangular design that maximizes swimming space or a curvaceous form that adds a sense of fluidity, the right shape can enhance the visual appeal and usability of your outdoor area. If you want a built-in hot tub or water slide for the kids, these are important aspects to decide on up front as they are critical additions to the overall design.
Patio Design
Your patio is the heart of your outdoor living space for relaxing and socializing with family and friends. Take time to truly think about how you will use this space to ensure all features are added to the plan.
It is important to determine how much seating area you need. For example, do you need room for an outdoor eating area for 4, 6, 8, or more? How many couches and loungers are needed to relax on?
Is having a designated area for laying out in the sun a priority? If so, understanding the direction of the sun to properly locate that area needs to be factored into the design.
An outdoor kitchen is a great addition to any outdoor living space as it adds functionality and allows you to stay connected to your family and friends while preparing meals and drinks.
If you love the water but may not always want to be in the sun, consider adding a gazebo or cabana to the design.
Once you know how you want to use the space, Martin John Company can work with you to determine the materials used in each area such as tile, stone, concrete, etc. For example, you can build an elegant design pattern into your seating area while keeping the area around the pool a simple, clean look.
Landscaping
Creating a captivating ambiance around your pool means discovering your preferences. If you wish to have plants surrounding the pool, choosing the right kind is key. There are plants that can present lush tropical foliage and plants that are more drought-resistant which may be better sustainably.
Additionally, you can integrate natural elements such as rocks and plants to transform a conventional pool into a tranquil oasis. By strategically placing rocks to mimic natural formations and carefully selecting lush greenery to complement the surroundings, you can achieve a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality.
Ambiance
Another aspect to consider is if you would like any specific lighting. Thoughtfully placed lights can enhance your experience after sunset. This might include ambient lights to illuminate pathways or underwater lighting for late nights by the poolside.
Consider adding built-in speakers around the pool and patio areas allowing you to enjoy upbeat music during a party and some tranquil sounds while relaxing in the evening.
Transform your backyard into a luxurious pool oasis with ideas that reflect your style and enhance relaxation, entertainment, and aesthetics.
