Patio Furniture & Landscaping Around Your Pool

By: Berni Wideman

From outdoor furniture to storage areas, the items you choose to include in your backyard should complement your outdoor living experience. Here are a few options to consider:

Patio Furniture

Kick back and relax with outdoor furniture that fits your particular taste and comfort levels. There is a wide variety of outdoor furniture choices available for you.

Big parties: For those who love to entertain, consider having outdoor furniture to accommodate a lot of guests without over-crowding your entertainment area. Choose bar stools, lounges, and even large bed-lounges as well as cushioned chairs and tables for dining or socializing.

Different Materials: There are several materials to choose from, the most popular being teak, redwood, cedar, iron, and wicker. Create a foundation that is consistent and then add variances of colors where appropriate.

Wheels: Adding wheels to your furniture can help you to organize and re-design on a whim. Plus the wheels make it easy to move furniture to safety in the event of a storm.

Landscaping

Plants: Choose from different plants that will work well in your climate while making your outdoor landscape shine. Consider using large planters, interchanging plants throughout the year to match the seasons. You can incorporate hanging plants, garden trees and other ideas. Having a spice garden near your outdoor kitchen is a great idea to consider. One thing you don’t want around your pool are plants that lose their leaves in the fall because they will go right in your pool and can stain the pool and create a lot of work.

Stones: Rock gardens can be extremely beautiful. Choose stones that blend with the colors of your landscape design and use different sizes and shapes. Some may have a circular area with rounded stones as the base and then a bird bath or sun dial in the middle. Open up your inner Zen and let your creativity flow.

Storage: Implement storage containers that blend into your outdoor environment but also serve a practical purpose to store tools, hoses and other items.
