Fire and Water

For some reason, fire and water just seem to go well together and this can be true whether it is a nearby fire pit or a fireplace. Both the fire pit and the fireplace, when placed close to the pool deck, can create a place for people to relax while watching the swimmers splash and enjoy the water. Positioning the fire feature near the water can bring an ambient light to the pool and nearby space as the flickering flames are reflected in the pool surface. 

Even on a summer night, lighting the fire where you and your guests can sit together near the pool can be a calming and enticing spot. With the fire crackling and people swimming and the crickets chirping, your paver contractor can be sure that this will become a favorite addition to your landscape. Because the fire feature can be tied into the pool deck with complementary paving stone that presents a harmonious blending of different stone, the fire can look like it was always there as part of the pool plan.

Outdoor Kitchen and Water

There can be no doubt that swimming whips up a hearty appetite and the younger swimmers especially will be clamoring for food and snacks. This is where an outdoor kitchen can be the consummate addition to your pool area.

From a straightforward grill station to a full outdoor kitchen, your paver contractor can design the perfect place for you to grill burgers and cook the sides for a full outdoor barbeque. Many people who cook enjoy making an entire meal on the grill or grills (if you want to incorporate more than one) would love the convenience of having a smoker, roaster, and conventional grill. 

A full kitchen can mean that there is a refrigerator for drinks and cold foods while an ice maker means that you will never run out of ice and have to send someone to the store for more. The cooktop can be outfitted to prepare any type of food that you would on the indoor cooktop and the ample stone countertops that pop against the beautiful stone that your paver contractor installed for the counter bases can provide space for all of the cutting and preparation. 

Retaining Wall

Blend all of the poolside landscape with a dazzling retaining wall that creates a more intimate space as well as a cohesive appearance. With stone that reflects the tones of the surface pool decking and a flagstone cap to give a flat surface on top of the wall, the retaining wall can vary in height depending on where it is within the pool space. A higher retaining wall can be comfortable to surround the outdoor kitchen so that you can have extra privacy when dining and lower around the pool and fire feature for more seating options. 

When your paver contractor ties the entire space together with subtle landscape lighting that follows the perimeter of the wall to shine down on the wall and floor, the entire space will seem as if it was always the star of the yard.
