P i c t u r e Yo u r s e l f in Your New Oasis

2 0 1 8 - 2 0 1 9 E D I T I ON

We l come

The crystal clear water of a swimming pool creates a tranquil anchor for your backyard oasis, and how you adorn it enhances your lifestyle.

To get the most out of your pool, think about the shape, style and color that fits your lifestyle and consider how your landscaping and outdoor decor will factor into the environment that you’re creating.

While browsing the lookbook, consider the following questions. Where can you see yourself? What features would fit the lifestyle you have? What would fit the dream life you want to create?

SHAPES & STYLESWhether you prefer traditional and symmetric or adventurous and free-form, colossal or petite, fiberglass pools come in a great variety of shapes and sizes. Choose a size that fits your space and a shape that fits your style. The models in this section are meant to help you discern preferences. If you would like more information on any of these designs, you can find them online.

Shade SolutionsShade adds a private oasis feeling to your pool area. If your yard is large enough, consider a pergola, cabana or lanai. If your space doesn’t allow for that, check out a retractable awning, an oversized patio umbrella or a pool that accommodates an umbrella.

NATURAL BUILT-IN SHADE AREASSHADE TYPE: TREES

Mother Nature provides the right balance of light and shade in tree groupings. It’s a permanent solution and should be considered for north-facing pool areas, but shade in south-facing pool areas might not allow enough sun.

MOOD ENHANCERSLANDSCAPING: LIGHTING

Whether you use natural fire light, LEDs, or both, lighting can create just the mood you need for a quiet evening with the family or social gathering.

COLOR AND HEIGHTLANDSCAPING: PLANTS AND FLOWERS

Trees along with planted perennial plants and flowers add splashes of stylish color to complement your pool. Certain evergreen trees and shrubs as well as ornamental grasses provide some height dimension but won’t shed leaves into your pool. Potted annual plants also add color and height, and they allow you to easily switch out your color with the seasons.
