A backyard pool is a lot of fun for people of all ages, and you can enhance your enjoyment by creating the perfect ambiance. The amenities and decor around your pool help to create a welcoming environment for your family and guests. If you’re working with a contractor to update and maximize your recreational space, here are a few suggestions to propose.

4 Ways to Maximize Your Backyard Pool

1. Install a Spa

Add a hot tub to your yard to give yourself a space to relax and unwind. Spas can be built into your pool or nearby in a secluded corner. This feature amplifies the aesthetics of your backyard and gives guests the option to swim or soak.

2. Incorporate Water Features

Waterfalls and fountains create a relaxing ambiance with their soft sound of gently trickling water. If you have children, consider bubblers or water slides to make the play area dynamic and fun. Fitness buffs can add a swim jet system to create resistance while swimming.

3. Update the Patio

A patio is a fantastic place for entertaining guests who are taking a break from swimming. Add weatherproof furniture, like couches, tables, and chairs, so people can comfortably lounge and relax. Boost the entertainment value of the space by incorporating a grill and outdoor sink to cook and serve snacks. Also, a patio is an optimal place to enjoy a fire pit at night or sit under a pergola for respite from the sun.

4. Add Details

Pave the areas around your pool with decorative concrete to give the outdoor space a cohesive look and feel. Your contractor can also stain the material to match any style or color scheme. A natural stone walkway is another option that can connect entertaining areas across the yard.
