Private garden with swimming pool

Swimming pool in family garden

Everything revolves around this swimming pool: located in the corner of the garden, it attracts the views from all three parts of the garden. The first part, next to the staircase, is a large terrace area laid with Luserna natural stone slabs. Under the lounge with the large parasol, overlooking the swimming pool, you can spend pleasant hours in company. The second part is a lawn framed by paving slabs with a bench and two slender vessels directly opposite the large living room window. The lawn is also a great place to take a run-up for a dip in the pool. The children of the owner particularly appreciate this "runway". The third part of the garden is the shaded seating area on gravel with hydrangea planting at the back of the garden, from which there is also a beautiful visual connection to the swimming pool.

Forest as a unique challenge

Behind the property line is the forest - a rare and therefore wonderful challenge. The task was to create a smooth transition between the wild green of the forest and the educated green of the garden design. A natural gradation was created with a mix of woody plants after the lawn. Another interesting garden detail is the transition of the gravel area to the lawn, which is framed with a tree gate of Asian flowering dogwood. Luserna Gneiss stepping stones in the gravel show the pathway.

Equipment in every detail

At the request of the client, the garden was packed with grasses to the last corner. This gives the design a personal and delicate touch. The terrace area was equipped with many vessels, all from the Belgian brand Ateliervierkant. To ensure that the plants are sufficiently watered, the containers are equipped with an automatic watering system. The perfect lawn is taken care of by a lawn robot, discreetly hidden at the edge of the planting area. To ensure that the garden radiates a homely atmosphere even after the sun goes down, containers and individual plants are illuminated.
