Spring and fall in the Delaware and Maryland areas bring mild temperatures perfect for relaxing poolside. With the strategic design plans from our pool and landscape designers, you can maximize enjoyment of your outdoor oasis during the shoulder seasons. Read on to learn how our pool and landscape design services help you make the most of spring, summer, winter, and fall.
Embrace Spring and Fall to Extend Your Pool Season
The cooler temperatures of spring and fall make it tempting to cover up the pool soon after Labor Day weekend. However, with a few special considerations during the design and construction phase from landscape designers specializing in pools, you can comfortably extend the pool season. Strategies like installing pool heaters, for example, can allow comfortable swimming as late as November and as early as April, giving you full enjoyment of your investment.
Beat the Summer Heat with Cool Features
The long days of summer find Delaware, Maryland, and PA area pools getting constant use. While the sunshine brings warmth that heats up swimming waters, the blazing midday rays can make pool decks unbearably hot. Thankfully, pool and landscape professionals offer creative design solutions and expert knowledge in materials to let you comfortably enjoy those long summer days poolside.
Installing features like pergolas, canopy trees and pavilions provides cooling shade while still allowing flexibility for soaking up the sun. Carefully placed shade elements not only lower temperatures but also shield harmful UV rays during peak sun hours. Water features like fountains and waterfalls also promote refreshing ambiance and thoughtful choices regarding patio materials can ensure a cooler poolside surface on those bare feet. Our pool renovation services use every aspect of a property’s design to maximize summer enjoyment.
Prepare for Winter with Proper Care
While the cooler winter air rapidly cools the area’s swimming pools, proper planning and care is crucial to preserve them until opening day the following spring when it is time to bring your outdoor oasis back to life.
Benefits of a Cohesive Year-Round Backyard Design
Rather than limiting landscaping impact to the summer months around the pool, a comprehensive environmental design better integrates the pool, patios and plants into one unified look. Professionals at Field of Dreams Outdoor Living and Landscaping consider how to facilitate traffic flow from lawn spaces to patios, pools, and landscape features. Strategic design allows movement between sections creating a continuous visual flow. Plants act as natural partitions defining specific areas while filtering noise. Careful material selections including textures, patterns and colors similarly bridge gaps between surfaces. The whole becomes one smooth, integrated and functional environment.
