Blending With Nature
"Janice Parker Landscape Design roots its practice in a three-tier model which focuses on connecting clients with their land in an inspiring way," explains designer Janice Parker of this gorgeous outdoor space. "The paradigm blends the homeowners’ needs with the architecture of a site and a chosen aesthetic.

Pretty Pergola
The star of this dazzling outdoor space is the dramatic pergola above the spacious seating area. Great for shade and unmatched in looks, this classic wooden structure couldn't be better.

Keeping Warm by the Fire
For cooler nights, a cozy fireplace surrounded by plenty of comfy seating is a nice addition to the versatile outdoor space. A great place to take a break from swimming or a warm place to gather in colder months, an outdoor fireplace is one addition the homeowners will certainly never regret.

Night Light
A view of the pool and outdoor room at night show just how easily the space transitions into evening. With so many lanterns shining throughout the entire space, the family can swim any time of day or night or gather with guests in any one of the many outdoor seating areas beneath the pergola.

Smart Layout
A second outdoor structure directly beside the pool is a great place to store pool toys, floats and cleaning supplies. Stairs leading to the hot tub lend a regal vibe to the space, while a solitary bench by the pool is a great place to store clean towels for drying off after a quick dip.
