Freeform Gunite Pool in Mount Laurel, NJ
SLS Landscape was tasked with creating a stunning outdoor oasis for a discerning client. The primary focus was on a luxurious freeform gunite pool, complemented by a sophisticated hardscape and lush landscaping. The design aimed to provide a private and tranquil retreat, perfect for relaxation and entertainment.
Design Concept
The design concept centered around a freeform gunite pool, a shape that mimics the natural flow of water. A sun shelf was incorporated into the design, providing a comfortable area for lounging and sunbathing. The pool was further enhanced with a glass waterline tile, adding a touch of elegance and modernity.
To create a seamless transition between the pool and the surrounding landscape, an expansive architectural interlocking paver pool terrace was installed. This terrace not only provides a stylish and durable surface but also leads to an open-air, four-post pavilion, offering shade and shelter.
The landscaping was carefully planned to create a private and serene atmosphere. A variety of colorful plants were selected to add visual interest and soften the hardscape elements. Strategic planting of trees and shrubs provided privacy and screening, ensuring the backyard remained a secluded retreat.
