Gardens with Pools: Key Tips for Impeccable Landscaping
Designing a garden with a pool requires balancing aesthetics with functionality, choosing materials that not only complement the surroundings but also offer durability. In this context, paving and products from Exagres are essential for creating modern, safe outdoor spaces.
Choose the Ideal Size and Shape for Your Pool
The size and shape of the pool should blend naturally with the available space. Rectangular pools often lend themselves to a more modern, minimalist design, while organically shaped pools may suit more natural garden styles. The aim is for the pool to not only become the focal point of the design but also to flow seamlessly with the rest of the landscape.
When selecting the size, consider both aesthetics and functionality. In smaller gardens, a more compact pool can provide a modern look without losing a sense of space. Conversely, in larger areas, a bigger pool can become the heart of the garden, perfect for family gatherings and relaxation.
Harmonious Integration of the Pool in the Garden Design
The placement of the pool is crucial for achieving a visually harmonious integration. Positioning it where it receives natural light throughout the day but also benefits from some shade at times enhances both the user experience and the overall design of the space.
Consider factors like the pool’s orientation and proximity to seating areas. Proper positioning can create a smooth transition between the house, garden, and pool, generating a sense of continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. For this, Exagres’ paving solutions for interiors, terraces, and around or within the pool ensure a coherent, aesthetically flawless design.
Selecting Slip-Resistant and Durable Paving for the Pool Area
Safety is paramount in the pool area. Exagres’ slip-resistant paving, with finishes rated C3-R11/R12, is the ideal choice to ensure surfaces remain safe even in wet conditions. Additionally, Exagres’ ceramic products, such as the latest BEDFORD and PROVENZA collections or established options like ÓPERA or MARBLES, offer not only durability against adverse weather but also a beautiful finish that mimics natural materials such as stone, marble, or cement.
Another equally attractive option is EXADECKceramic decking, specifically designed for outdoor spaces. Its water resistance, slip-resistant properties, easy installation, and low maintenance make it the best alternative to traditional wooden or resin decking.
Ideal Vegetation for Poolside Areas
Choosing the right plants is essential for maintaining the style and efficiency of the space. Opt for vegetation that is low-maintenance and moisture-resistant, such as palm trees, agaves, or bamboo. These plants not only add freshness and beauty to the environment but also help keep the pool area free of leaves and debris, reducing upkeep and enhancing cleanliness and hygiene.
The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Landscaper
Hiring a professional landscaper ensures that the garden and pool design are optimised both visually and functionally. A landscaper can advise on the best materials, such as Exagres’ slip-resistant paving, and ensure all elements are integrated harmoniously. This not only enhances the overall space but also increases its long-term value, providing a design that combines safety, beauty, and practicality.
