Depending on your imagination, vision and budget, many important features can be included in
the concept and design of your backyard environment. Here is a discussion of some of the more
necessary and commonly considered ones:
Patios and
Decks:
We take into consideration many aspects of your family and
lifestyle to determine material, color and safety. Do you have young children? Do you
entertain often? What look and feel are you hoping to accomplish? Will you want a screen
enclosure?
There are many materials to choose from including travertine marble,
cement brick pavers, tumbled pavers, coquina, flagstone, old Chicago bricks and of course
concrete with various top coats. All will be discussed during your consultation meeting.
Rock Waterfalls and Art:
Very popular in South
Florida, natural rock work accents any waterscape with a lagoon or oasis concept. Grottos,
waterfalls and rock slides are possible additions to the project.
Landscape
Design:
It is one thing to place trees and plants in and around your pool
area, it is another thing to make sure the irrigation and maintenance aspects are proper and
efficient as well. WLD considers all facets of landscape design including privacy,
maintenance, cost, longevity and of course feel and appearance.
Lighting:
Since half of the day, and most of the time for working
people, your backyard is enveloped in darkness; WLD makes sure lighting is well placed to
accentuate the features of your project.
Gazebos, Tiki Huts and Screen
Enclosures:
Shade and bug protection are important features in our
tropical climate here in Florida. Areas that provide this will be addressed and integrated
into the overall design.
Outdoor Kitchens and
Barbeques:
More and more people want to entertain in the immediate
vicinity of their waterscape so this feature is often incorporated in the design. Depending on
your budget and available space, a variety of cooking surfaces is considered.
Other Features:
There are limitless extras to be considered,
among them:
Fire Pits and propane powered Tiki Torches
Laminar Fiber Optic
Water Jets and other Out-of-the-pool water features including Fountains, Misters, Spritzers
and Sheer Descent Water Falls
Stone and Old World Facades and Balustrades
Underwater mosaics and tile design
Cast Stone Fountain Bowl Custom Wood Garden
