Built-in spas and hot tubs are a classic pair with a swimming pool. In addition to the unique, relaxing comfort it provides, there are also health benefits to a hot tub such as pain relief, stress relief, and improved circulation.
Fire features such as firepits, fireplaces, fire walls, and fire bowls add warmth to your backyard literally and visually. The lively flames and dramatic lighting add an exotic flair to backyards and pools alike. Some models intended for pools incorporate moving water for an elemental double feature.
Water Features, like fire features, add excitement and beauty to your pool. Scuppers, waterfalls, sheer descents, bubblers, grottos, and jets add motion to your backyard, turning it into a real-life oasis.
If you're the kind of person who enjoys entertaining around your pool, you'll love an outdoor kitchen. It's more than just a grill and furniture. It's a specially designed place that can have additional features like refrigerators, bars, ice makers, side burners, patio heaters, and more. A quality outdoor kitchen lends an unparalleled appeal to your backyard and ensures that you don't have to make compromises when you bring the party outdoors.
Decking is one of the most important aspects of the backyard space you will create. It unifies your backyard and plays a huge part in the overall aesthetic. Options for decking are natural stone, pavers, inlays, slate, deck coatings, stamped concrete, wood, tile, and more. Consider factors like heat resistance, slip factor, maintenance, and of course appearance when choosing a decking type.
Gazebos and pergolas are eye-catching shade structures that create distinct seating areas. They frame outdoor kitchens, bars, and furniture while still allowing for a breezy, open layout. They create a relaxing destination away from the walls of the house.
Landscape lighting along steps, paths, seat areas, trees, plants, and sculptures amplify your already existing backyard and just make everything look better. Proper lighting is one of the most underrated features of a backyard because of the cozy warmth it can bring. In addition to pleasing the eye, landscape lighting makes your yard safer and more secure.
