Cool Off in the Best Way by Including an Inground Pool in Your Landscape Design in the West Bloomfield Township, MI Area
As the temperatures start heating up, you are probably thinking about the many ways you can cool down this summer. An inground pool may be the solution you need—for cooling down and truly enjoying your summer. Here is what to consider when including a swimming pool in your landscape design plans in the West Bloomfield Township, MI, area.
Keep Cool Without Joining the Swim Club
When you have an inground pool added to your landscape design, you get the swimming benefits of joining a local club but you will not have to ever leave you house—your inground pool will be just a stepping stone path from your back door, and you can head outside whenever the mood hits you for a swim. In addition, you will not have to worry about swimming in between hours of operation as you would with the swim club or country club. You will be able to swim any time of the day, even when the sun goes down, as long as you have the light of a fire pit and strategically installed outdoor lighting nearby.
Make Your Yard a Party Destination
An inground pool can give your backyard a party vibe if you’re interested in entertaining guests. You will be able to invite extended family members over for swim sessions or host swim parties in your backyard. Both birthday parties for the kids or adult cocktail parties can be achieved when you have an inground pool—a fridge in your outdoor kitchen will give you easy access to snacks or drinks, depending on the ages of the people you are having over for swimming fun.
It is not just the pool itself that makes the area a party spot—lounge chairs under the pergola and perhaps a seating wall can give your guests a break in between their time in the pool.
Fully Use Open Space
Adding an inground pool is also a beneficial landscape addition as you may be able to make more use of the open space you have in your yard—and minimize the amount of grass that needs constant care, by including an expansive paver patio in your landscape upgrade plans.
Introduce Additional Landscape Features
If the inground pool will be the central feature of your landscape design, you may want to have a pavilion as part of the plans, and this could include an outdoor kitchen for optimal convenience when you have people over for swimming. If you would rather have a less active-filled backyard and make it have a more relaxing vibe, consider lush planting beds surrounding your pool area, and you’ll end up with a resort-like look and feel to your poolscape. Outdoor lighting surrounding the area will also add to the relaxing or fun atmosphere, depending on your preferences, as this lighting can be a part of the planting beds, included within the pool, and also recessed into your patio deck.
