Contemporary Pool And Garden

p3This contemporary landscape was conceived by our landscape architect, Ellen Rasnikoff, to compliment both the interior and exterior of this beautiful T.M.R. home. IPE wood was used to add a warm texture on the upper patio and the sundeck surrounding the pool. This wood does not rot and withstands our harsh winter conditions. The pool itself was positioned to one side of the property to help conserve a large existing tree and allow this family of five enjoy a children’s play area! The clients wanted an herb and vegetable garden, we were able to incorporate one into the patio that adds a sense of family to the landscape. This is a small but significant addition to any family backyard!

 

 

p2The paver of choice in this backyard was Techo-Bloc’s Blu Grande, the walls are Blue Ciel natural stone, and the pool is caped with St-Marc Limetstone.

In order to soften the look  of the extra large pool, we built a planter around the perimeter of the pool and planted boxwoods placed at the pools edge, creating a haven for swimmers. The sleek main pool is 20′ by 65′ and there are steps that lead up to a 20′ by 20′ sun deck which is enjoyed by adults and toddlers alike.

This Beaconsfield backyard has two main components; two dining/lounge areas and a beautiful pool! One of the dining/lounge areas is right off the kitchen – a covered area with screens to protect from unwanted bugs. Beyond this is another outdoor patio where you can dine and gaze at the stars! For this patio, we used Techo-Bloc’s smooth Blu Grande stone in Shale Grey which was laid down symmetrically in a long rectangular shape with artificial turf between each stonBeaconsfield Backyard Featuring Reflection Pool and a Dining/Patio Areae.

Saint-Laurent Contemporary Pool

This Saint-Laurent home is a perfect example of how you can create a beautiful outdoor space in a small urban setting. To maximize the size of the pool, it was designed in a rectangular shape that gives it clean lines and the large steps in the pool establish a wide & inviting opening. To complement the pool, we laid St. Marc limestone, quarried in Québec, in a linear brick pattern to give the small space a large look & feel. A more affordable option, which gives the same overall look, is to use a man-made linear cut stone. The clients oversized planters give the space height which also expands the impression of the terrace. Tall cedars were planted around the perimeter of the property to give some much needed privacy.
