PoolsidePoolside Pick-Me-Ups

 

Nothing adds vibrancy to an outdoor living design like a splash of color. If your pool needs a pick-me-up, throw out your old, faded and torn furniture cushions and umbrellas and replace everything with bright and bold colors. Coordinate with accent pieces like vases, baskets, and throw pillows.

 

For a dramatic change, consider replacing damaged concrete pool decking with Belgard Hardscapes pavers. Paver pool decking offers a comfortable, non-slip walking surface with lasting beauty.

Ideas in BloomIdeas in Bloom: Dimensional Gardens

 

To create a unique look for your outdoor living space, add dimension to your garden with one of these techniques.

 

Container Gardens:  Place a variety of containers of various shapes, sizes and heights around the outdoor living area. For added interest, combine multiple species of plants in the same container. 

 

Planters: Use wall pavers to build planters of varying heights to create multi-dimensional or vertical gardens.
