Need Help, backyard with pool

8 years ago

Pool roughed in, just waiting for spring to add fences, cedars for privacy, stamped concrete, seating, fire pit, harvest table for big family dinners, lighting, stone, deck, lounge, help? trying to ensure a good balance of green, concrete, wood, and natural environment. Ideas? I have to replace the orange construction fence to meet code in spring.

Looks like a fantastic backyard (and more) judging by the photos, but what do you need help with?

You’ve done a great job! Although I hope there’s a plan to sort out the rickety steps (they look a bit of a death trap). I kinda like the denuded trees and agree with keeping them for privacy. For planting underneath you’ll need plants for dry shade as the trees will suck up a lot of moisture, some good suggestions on these sites: https://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/20-plants-for-dry-shade/ https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=430 I’d perhaps go for a mixture of ferns, foxgloves, primulas, a creeping ground cover and pop a few spring flowering bulbs underneath. Stonecrop (lots of variations) is another plant that should cope well with little or no attention. Hope this helps a little.

Hi ED, Thanks! Yep the eye of faith is crucial with winter garden makeovers! It'll be loads more plant dominated in a year or two. There's already a pump in the pond, which works as a standalone fountain, but can be adapted to power a cascade on the wall behind. We're having all sorts of whacky ideas like building a 'marble run' style sculpture incorporating all our favourite things, (archaeology, sci fi etc) or a commissioned metal sculpture that looks like a steel version of Virginia creeper.
