Your Garden Oasis – Realizing The Dream (Part 3)

Imagine the ultimate retreat in your own backyard: A beautiful custom swimming pool perfectly paired with a peaceful, low-maintenance landscape…a year ’round oasis just outside your windows! This post will address the next step in the realization of your dreams for a garden oasis.
Step 3: Craft the Garden
At Hanselman Landscape, our work is a lasting reflection of who we are and what we believe. When we design and build a waterfall, fireplace, seating wall, or slide for your swimming pool landscape, we do so with lasting value and beauty in mind. For structural items, we recommend enduring surfaces and foundations. Our clients tell us how delighted they are to find that the living portions of their gardens genuinely improve over time. Rather than deteriorating due to poor planning and lack of care, with our touch, your pool landscape will improve with age as plants mature.
The Hanselman Landscape crew members are craftsmen who skillfully combine artistry and solid workmanship into the garden structures they build. Our crews include experts in boulder placement, construction, plumbing, and lighting to support our overall garden design, build, and maintenance services. We build poolside structures that bring enduring enjoyment to our clients. From seating walls that maximize pool patio space to water slides nestled in naturally landscaped hills, each stone is thoughtfully placed so as to gracefully obscure “the hand of man.”
Another way to add elegance and enjoyment to your pool environment is through well-positioned lighting. As daylight fades, lighting adds to the ambiance of your pool landscape while increasing safety by illuminating walkways and steps. We use high-quality, heavy-duty bronze fixtures and soldered wire connections for lighting installations, providing enduring value and long-term reliability.
Personal Note: Our daily garden walks are helping James and me enjoy and (hopefully) extend our days. This winter, well-sited landscape lighting made after-dark walks possible and de-“light”-ful!
