Swimming Pools: Why You Should Consider a Water Feature

Sight, Sound and Fun: These are just three of the reasons why no Swimming Pool should be without a water feature. Let us introduce some examples of common water features and explain their benefits. This will make it easier for you to decide what would work best for your personal backyard oasis.

Sight
Nothing enhances your swimming pool more than the shimmering sight of falling water. Especially when living up north it is important to integrate your swimming pool into your outdoor living space even when the days are getting a little cooler.

Jamie Snyder of The Albert Landscaping Group recommends wall accents, water walls, and LED-illuminated spill over spas, cascades and fountains or - even more breathtaking - the integration of a natural looking waterfall. That will not only add to the aesthetics of your swimming pool area but also bring a little Zen to your backyard.

Sound
Don’t underestimate the soothing sound of an outdoor water feature. It is simply very tranquil and relaxing to float in the pool or sunbathe on the deck while listening to the trickling sound of water flowing in a constant stream. Flowing water makes it easier to relax and helps to blend out the stress of our hectic everyday life.

Fun
There are fountains and bubblers, deck jets and much, much more. Those features do not only add to the aesthetics for your pool area but will add some extra fun while splashing in the water. Deck Jets can be placed on the deck or even in an existing planter. When dedicating an extra pump and control, you will able to create a variety of water shows and light effects for the evening cocktail party. And during the day the kids will have fun, spraying each other.

These are just some of the many options available. Let us know, how you enjoy your water feature. And if you are planning to add one, don’t hesitate to contact Albert Group Landscaping-expert Jamie Snyder.
