Designing the pool and landscape together

What needs to be known?

Roots, irrigation, shade and care pathways affect the environment. Details are coordinated to ensure that irrigation does not direct into the pool or technical area.

Check when making decisions

• Check irrigation
• Keep the roads clear
• Consider seasonal shade

Appearance and daily use

Coating color, water depth, angle of incidence of light, and surrounding surfaces change the perceived water color. It would be more reliable to make a decision based on the sample and the light conditions in the field rather than a photo on the screen. When choosing a surface, cleanliness, sliding behavior and detail solution should be examined as well as appearance.

Clarify the details in the drawing

Edge finishes, overflow channels, joints, stairs and lighting points should not be selected independently of each other. Sample approval and agreement of joint details prior to application reduces the need for improvised solutions in the field. If the material changes, the substrate and connection conditions also need to be rechecked.
