The space surrounding the pool is paved in Bristol stone and the pool is bordered by brick coping. The landscaping around the pool patio contributes to the relaxing atmosphere by enclosing the space in blooming perennials.

The patio surrounding the pool takes on a curvilinear shape. The retaining walls, built from Diamond Pro blocks and caps, can act as seating walls, and hold planting beds with perennials and grasses.

The planting beds and landscaping conceal the pool's utilities, while still allowing them to be easily accessible.

Above the retaining walls, a patio space overlooks the pool area. It also serves as a point of access between the pool and the deck. The lower patio area also extends to the space under the deck.
