A pool can be such a great addition to your home, providing a focal point for your back yard, not to mention hours of relaxation and fun. But many homeowners aren’t making the most of this great feature! With a bit of creativity and some high-quality hardscaping and pool finishing features, you can transform your boring backyard into a serene retreat. Take a look at these ideas from Better Homes & Gardens.
Make your spa or hot tub the focal point of the pool area by framing it with a wall. Lush plantings spilling over the edge add a tropical feel.
Use a different finish or material for the patio to define a kitchen area separate from the pool deck. An outdoor kitchen is a great addition to any backyard, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the great outdoors.
Fountains not only add visual beauty, but also provide a lovely musical element to the space. The sound of rushing water aids in relaxation and helps to mask outside noise, so you will truly feel like your backyard is a hidden oasis.
Whether you are in need of pool coping, tile, or plastering, a beautiful new stamped concrete, exposed aggregate, or paver pool deck and patio, or attractive retaining walls, stairs, and paths, we do it all here at Triad Associates in Haverhill, MA.
