What landscaping material is used beyond the stone pathway where the chairs are? - Is it messy around the pool re:upkeep and sweeping? »

Arterra LLP Landscape Architects Stone paving is used at the pool terrace - not messy at all and the firepit area is decomposed granite.

Arterra LLP Landscape Architects We used an old sugar kettle for the firepit and the rocks are lava stones. If you are building a firepit, be sure to use stones that are approved for firepits.

When the sun starts to set, move from poolside to a nearby fire and get dry and toasty in no time.
added by Becky Harris to Ornamental Grasses in the Landscape
The built part of this landscape is nestled into a beautiful meadow of undulating grasses and wildflowers.

This space feels natural. The pool is manmade, but transitions well to the firepit area, which feels like it could be part of a campground. Pretty but not overdone.
