Incorporating a stunning backyard pool into a Sydney backyard garden design enhances the garden for relaxing & family entertaining.
Sydney has a climate that suits outdoor living, so swimming pools in Sydney are a popular back garden addition and can look amazing when combined with a professional pool garden design.
Vogue & Vine – Landscape Designers Sydney include the latest modern pool concepts with contemporary plant design and outdoor furniture design and styling. The combinations of these design elements are important to optimise Sydney’s contemporary outdoor lifestyle.
Benefits of a Sydney swimming pool designer?
There are many design options for both pools and landscaping to create the perfect back garden. The Vogue & Vine team recommend bringing in a professional pool & landscaping designer to help create the whole vision for the back garden. This should be done prior to discussions with a pool builder.
Vogue & Vine add years of experience and their advice guarantees the whole project will be in harmony with both the natural surroundings and the property architecture.
All Sydney pool needs to comply with council pool regulations and the various NSW legislation for complying developments. The Vogue & Vine design team make sure that every compliance element is taken care of to make the garden design process as stress free.
The fastest way to lodge Sydney pool plans?
Swimming pool plans can be lodged and approved by using a Complying Development or CDC. This process is a faster than a development application (DA) & uses both the development consent and a construction certificate approval (so no need for lengthy and costly council approval)
Vogue & Vine have the experience to do the required research to ensure your plans are eligible for the CDC process. If your plans qualify, Vogue & Vine can work with a private certifier for the final pool approval.
Best swimming pool garden design ideas
The Resort style garden
Step into the lap of luxury with your own resort style backyard. Install an azure style blue pool that is reminiscent of the Mediterranean. Surround yourself with by lush tropical plants including established Kentia palms and sophisticated Bromeliads to provide colour without the maintenance. Surround your pool elegant sandstone paving for sophistication with laid-back charm.
Alfresco areas for entertaining
No matter how much space you have, the introduction of an alfresco area will enhance your new resort outdoor lifestyle.
Consider a new undercover outdoor kitchen complete with a wood-fired pizza oven. Seamlessly blend your outdoor dining & entertainment area for the complete resort experience. Combine this with abundant landscaping including Frangipani trees Kentia Palms and striking Elephant Ears for a stunning tropical look.
Designer Outdoor Pots around your swimming pool
Sometimes the introduction of a pool can take a lot of space – sacrificing the softening look of plants.
No problem. Introduce a combination of outdoor pots with layered planting to introduce warmth and soften your outdoor space. Lightweight concrete pots are available in many shapes and colours to suit all styles of pool gardens. The trick to getting this look right is to use pot clusters – combining larger pots with smaller pots (no more than 3 in a cluster).
You can introduce many different planting styles with your pots with some of our favourite spillover plants including Dichondra Silver Falls and Senecio. We highly recommend installing an irrigation system with your pots OR select more waterwise/coastal styles of plants for a low maintenance garden.
Tropical style planting for the Sydney resort look
Have you ever been to a tropical resort and instantly feel relaxed around the swimming pool with swaying palm trees? You can also have this look and feel around your own backyard swimming pool in Sydney.
A professional landscape design company like Vogue & Vine will design your new tropical garden with a layered style of tropical plants.
This of course starts at the top with the swaying palm trees. Some palms grow more quickly than others but if you have the budget you can bring in more established palms to provide the instant resort feel. Make sure you combine your palms with other tropical plants that have similar water and sun requirements. Including different colours and textures will help provide variety that will also be easy to maintain.
Native Australian plants for a coastal pool
Designing an Australian native or coastal garden for your pool area will not only look amazing, but it will also attract native wildlife.
