Swimming Pools

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Swimming Pool and Outdoor Living SpacesWith summer around the corner, many homeowners are dreaming of a swimming pool. The first instinct is to call a pool company, but that may not lead to the best overall result. All too often we find ourselves called into a project after the swimming pool has been designed and contracted, only to have significant ideas that could make the project better but it is too late. The problem is that most pool contractors are only interested in selling a pool and are not trained to develop plans that create a unified and successful entire back yard landscape. For the best results, call a landscape architect or professional landscape designer first and develop a comprehensive plan for you back yard living spaces. You will most likely end up with a much better pool design as it relates to the entire property. Landscape architects and landscape designers will work with the pool contractor to develop the best pool design for your project, and they will incorporate that design into a comprehensive master landscape plan. Landscape architects will also be able to help you negotiate the best price for your people and consult about the pro’s and con’s of various pool builders. So if you are thinking about a pool, call Environmental Landscape Associates to design a comprehensive plan that will ensure the best results for your swimming pool and entire outdoor living space.

Cabana 1Environmental Landscape Associates has a building construction partner named K. Frederick Builders. Both companies operate under one roof giving the clients the benefits of complete coordination between building and landscape construction. We have gone in this direction because the majority of our projects involve building construction of some sort from a pergola or porch roof to a full pool house.
