DINING OUT
A small dining table and coordinating chairs are a favorite perch for the grandchildren to have post-swim meals and play games. This is one of three zones within the pavilion, which also includes a seating area and outdoor kitchen/ grill space.
BEDS OF COLOR
Variety is the name of the game on the beds that skirt the outer edge of the pool. Drift roses, rosemary, ‘Big Series’ begonias, and hardy hibiscus sing in shades of red and purple, while euonymus provides ground cover. “I also added some blue scaevola in this area; it’s a great planting around pools because its cool color plays well with the water,” Chris says.
