An
important part of this pool landscape design was setting the correct
elevation and location of the pool. The vanishing edge will be viewed
not only from the pool area but also from an upper deck. The pool had to
be set so that vanishing edge basin could not be seen. Distance from
decking and pool elevations must be carefully considered and calculated
for these types of pool designs, or any others for that matter.
Natural Swimming Pool Design
The
pool also has a beach area. This is a nice feature to include in a pool
landscape design. It is a shallow area in which you can place lounge
chairs, allowing you to sit right in the water. In this project, the
water in the beach area was about six inches deep.
We
also added a beautifully designed naturalistic waterfall with many
different sized boulders….just another great feature of this landscape
design. Natural looking boulders, shapes and placements imitate nature
so that the waterfall design looks like one that was naturally formed.
Water flows down in various places to make it more interesting.
Pool Waterfall With Large Boulders
The
topography of this property lent itself perfectly for a pool landscape
design with a vanishing edge, also known as a disappearing edge. As you
can see from the photo part of the water's edge that looks as if it
disappears. The pool water actually falls into a holding basin and
re-circulates.
Water Overflow Pool Edge
There
are many names for this type of swimming pool...infinity edge,
vanishing edge or disappeating edges are all used as descriptions. They
are amazing!
