Family Pool Project

Flemington, Nj 08822

This Flemington, NJ landscape and free-form pool was carefully designed on a property with a rolling hill to extend as much usable outdoor living space as possible while simultaneously adding privacy from the neighbors, and the side street. Key to this space is the large retaining wall built at the back end of the yard after the hill was excavated out and the land leveled. The pool deck extends far to the one side to provide sun bathing chairs and furniture; also to tie in the views from the deck and back of the house to the pool lounging area. The planting scheme also was designed to keep the pool open to the house and privacy kept from the neighbors and other surroundings. The pool features a sitting bench or cozy corner for kids to take a rest on while playing in the pool. Overall the design of this space really transformed a hilly tight backyard with not much usable space into the perfect scene for entertaining with friends or family.

Landscaping

The landscape plantings provide open views from the deck and house out to the pool area. Larger trees and shrubs were placed around the perimeter to create privacy from neighbors and the street.

Swimming Pool Installation

This free-form pool features a built in shelf seat for additional seating or to cool off in the pool while sitting down.

Excavating

To expand the amount of space for this design a lot of excavating has been done. The large retaining wall holds back the hill and also creates privacy.

Rock Landscaping

River jack stones and natural boulders add interest and natural beauty to this design.

Masonry

Here is a cozy corner or a seat in the pool essential for cooling off while sitting down. This is also an easy way to get in and out of the pool at the deep end.
