Garden of Ease Landscaping & DesignSmall and tranquil, this urban space makes use of the limited area to create a spa-like flow.
Endless PoolsIn a compact yard, the Endless Pool leaves space to spare!
With its fully adjustable swim current, the Endless Pool lets you swim in place. Also great for aquatic exercise and family fun, the Endless Pool conserves space (and resources) so you can enjoy big-pool functionality in one easy-to-maintain installation.
This Endless Pool in Austin, Texas, also functions as a reflecting pool -- on a cloudy day, you can enjoy a meditative place to unwind in peace and comfort.
Melanie Rekola Landscape DesignThis lovely landscape sports a poured in place concrete slab patio with drought tolerant sedum plants between the slabs. This sedum mix is sold in sheets then cut to fit but it’s actually grown for green-roof application. It works perfectly in this hot environment too as it is extremely drought tolerant and can go a month without water. Because the water runoff is absorbed between the slabs the patio drainage works perfectly and there are no need for drains.The swimming pool is of the fiberglass variety. Though the initial investment is greater than that of vinyl pools the ROI is greater over a 10 year period. Fiberglass pools retains more heat as the pool shell is all one piece and they don’t ever require a new liner.. This fiberglass pool has cool built-in benching and steps. And there is even a swim jet built into one side great for those cardio blasting swims. The pool interior colour is grey though it shows a soft blue/grey when water is added due to the reflection of the sky and other surroundings. The pool coping is natural stone with rock face edge. The steel arbour was custom made. Metal (steel) was chosen for it’s slim strength as wood placed here would have been too chunky. The best rooms (indoors or our) have a subtle layering of textural elements. To me this landscape needed a structure here to define the “rooms” It will look even better in a few years when the vines reach the top and the Miscanthus on either side reaches its 7′ height!The 12′ x 16′ pavilion is also made of steel and houses an alfresco dining table and sofa set. The pavilions built in cupola makes the warm breezes comfortably pass through with no need for a fan. It’s also sunken 2′ from the pool/patio height and nestled nicely in the corner. I must also mention the large slim planters with “Red Shades” Canna lily within. They are the perfect boldness/balance!Step through the arbor and a linear pond with “floating” natural stone step is revealed! Two smooth flow scuppers are responsible for the quiet waterfalls either side. A wood deck overhangs the pond adding softness to the setting. A modern retaining wall with natural stone cap runs the full width of the pond and pool adding interest and dimension. In the covered outdoor living area this wall is the perfect seat wall - adding lots of extra party seating!
The lesson to be learned here is that good design can be applied to any space. This backyard is only 50′ x 45′ and look what can be achieved! Landscape design and photography by Melanie Rekola
California WaterscapesWelcome to our design space at the Pasadena Showcase House of Design. This “oasis” features a beautiful collection of koi fish, gracefully swimming in a 5’x8’ pond.
Our modern, clean-cut paver patio is customized to intertwine with large seating boulders. By bringing the pathway right to the edge of the pond, we showcase our favorite cantilever effect. Softening the design, California-friendly plants and a stunning live plant wall surrounds the area, while lights can be seen hanging from the trees, extending the ambiance into the evening hours.

GARDENMARINEЭтот пруд расположен во внутреннем дворике над крышей подземного гаража. Чтобы не нагружать перекрытия пруд сделан совсем неглубоким. С одной стороны к пруду примыкает деревянный настил, палуба из лиственницы. Кованый мостик соединяте два берега и повторяет растительные орнаменты цветников.

The Distinctive Gardenerthis small water feature at the entry to the home is always "tinkling" with the sound of water running over the basalt stones.
