Swimming Pools & Ponds
Pool landscaping turns a swimming pool into a finished outdoor living space — the surround, the plantings, the grading and the way the whole yard works together, not just the water.
At Garden Design, we coordinate every technical and design detail that goes into a pool that's ready to open:
- Site Placement
- Pool Design
- Grading and Drainage
- Coping Selection
- Decking Material
- Sun vs. Shade Landscape Considerations
- Landscape Design and Planting
- Pool Structures
- Equipment
- Baffles and Shade Structures
- Fencing
See finished work in our swimming pool photo gallery. We build the surrounding hardscape too — paver and natural-stone patios, walkways and coping that tie the pool into the landscape. Contact us for a consultation or call 610-530-8752. Garden Design serves Emmaus, Macungie, Center Valley, Coopersburg, Wescosville and the greater Lehigh Valley.
Ponds
From the initial pond liner through finished pond and waterfall, Garden Design is the landscape contractor for decorative water features.
Landscaped ponds can be finished with planting details:
- Water Iris
- Water lettuce
- Reeds
- Bamboos
- Cannas
- Pickerel rush
- Arrowhead
- Waterlilies
Ponds should also include nature's water jewels:
- ornamental koi
- goldfish
- frogs
A landscaped pond can also be a waterfall without the pond. A pond-less waterfall is virtually maintenance free. See the accompanying photos for more pond-producing ideas...
