"We love the way that this yard makes our young kids a priority.  We wanted a swimming pool, and we wanted to incorporate adult entertaining areas with creative spaces for our kids to play. Our designer made sure to keep pool safety a top priority, but also to come up with unusual fun places to play. The kids love the theater stage the designer created and we love the way she maximized shady areas for adults to enjoy."

 

 

 

 

 

Pool With Kids' Play Area
The homeowners have two small children who love to play outside, but their 1960 home and back yard were in dire need of a makeover. Once their interior remodel was finished, they came to Plans for Plants for ideas to utilize their small back yard for both adult and child entertainment.

This design incorporates a new pergola over the patio to maximize shady entertaining space, small planters surrounding the pool to add colorful tall plantings, and several creative-play spaces for the kids. The designer took a small, unused side yard and created a theater stage complete with toy storage and games painted on the floor for the kids. The dated pool was completely refurbished with a state-of-the-art alarm and fence system for safety. The homeowners wished to grow herbs and vegetables, so a small raised planter gave them the ability to grow a kitchen garden. Planter boxes were hung on the fence with irrigation drip lines inconspicuously placed to provide low-maintenance colorful perennials in hard-to-reach areas behind the pool.
