Creating an outdoor retreat in your Frankfort and Homer Glen, IL Areas landscape can reflect customized solutions with the design ideas of a deck builder. Decks can be tailored to your outdoor spaces, offering solutions for how you want your landscape design to look and function. Pool decks and all the outdoor features that enhance your outdoor living can be achieved with an expert deck builder.
Pool Decks
As the weather warms up and the kids get out of school, the pool is the first place they want to go. While pool decks should be durable and non-slip, they also create a warm, inviting, attractive space for guests to relax and enjoy their time with you.
Replacing the cracked and stained concrete around the pool creates possibilities for other outdoor living features that might not have been feasible before. More distinctive and complementary to your house and landscape design, pool deck pavers can elevate the pool space to the level of luxurious living.
This new deck can accommodate all your guests with ease, provide the right amount of relaxing space for tanning and swimming, and transform the look of the pool into a design worthy of the rest of the landscape.
Merge with the Patio
No retreat is complete without a fully customized patio adjoining the pool deck. Like the resorts, your patio should have plenty of space for several outdoor furniture groupings that create a cozy, intimate atmosphere.
Matching steps can transition from the patio to the pool deck so your guests can move back and forth among areas comfortably. Stone steps can hold your prized planters that show off your flower and greenery combination skills, adding bold color and ongoing blooms to your outdoor areas.
Include a Fire Feature
Go from daytime to nighttime with a fire pit or outdoor fireplace—or both! Including a fire pit for the patio can compel guests outside, carrying their drinks and appetizers to the warmth and ambiance of the fire.
Expanding the pool deck pavers on one side can provide ample space for an outdoor fireplace, making the pool and fireplace area feel like a destination. As guests admire the stacked stone masonry, copper accents on the chimney, and central design above the mantle where the all-weather TV is mounted, they can see the craftsmanship in the hand-placed stone.
A Pavilion and Outdoor Lighting
Every pool space needs a shady spot for guests to cool off on a hot day. A sophisticated pavilion provides shade to the outdoor areas, allows your guests to get out of the sun, and expands the opportunities to entertain under a covered area. Positioning the pavilion near the pool keeps those guests who are seeking to be refreshed in the shaded area as part of the outdoor fun. Since the pavilion sides are open, breezes flow through, maintaining a cooling and rejuvenating spot.
Finishing your new outdoor retreat with landscape lighting that takes the area from day into night with effortless magic can add the final touch. Strategic illumination of the pool area, patio, pavilion, and more can maximize your options to enjoy this space through the evening and well into the night. The party doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down!
