What is a Poolscape? A poolscape is a highly stylized landscape that integrates a swimming pool and its surrounding areas - in essence, everything that supports the use and enjoyment of the pool. Poolscapes typically include patios with lounge areas (rooms) and walkways (hallways), along with planting and custom landscape lighting. Landscape Design Consulting specializes in poolscape design on environmentally challenging sites in regulated areas.
Types of Pools: Landscape Design Consulting specializes in the design of luxury in-ground gunite pools. Gunite pools offer the highest quality with the lowest maintenance and overall cost through time. Lap pools are narrower and elongated to accommodate swimming, while plunge pools are compact and designed for cooling off or light recreation. Spools refer to larger spas or smaller plunge pools. Pools built into hillsides can feature vanishing (infinity) edges with catch pools located on a lower patio terrace. With gunite construction, there is virtually no limit to the customization of pool shapes, sizes, and layouts.
