The Sound of Water Transforms Kelowna Pools into a Backyard Oasis
A pond is one of the exterior water features that can accentuate Kelowna pools.
Imagine lounging on your pool patio or deck, with water flowing around you. It’s like having an outdoor shower, without getting soaked. A backyard oasis can be created by adding exterior water features as part of the landscaping around the kind of Kelowna pools that will be the envy of the neighbourhood.
A water feature should not add to your water bill, as most waterfalls, ponds and fountains use a pump where the water is re-circulated. They can also be solar powered, saving you money on your electricity bill.
Here are some ways Kelowna renovation contractors can make pools in Kelowna a backyard oasis.
Add a rush of water
As Jimi Hendrix famously sang, “my worries seem so very small with my waterfall.”. Adding a waterfall or a cascading water feature to your backyard landscaping or one that can be incorporated into Kelowna pools is a great way to keep the water flowing.
Some ideas include:
- poolside rock grotto
- cascade that flows into the pool
- patio or deck water wall
- outdoor shower
Get back to nature
Ponds are a great way to bring that natural looking landscape to your backyard and to accentuate Kelowna pools. They can be lined with rocks and filled with phyto-filtering plants that naturally remove toxins from the water. You may even decide to add some algae eating fish (plecostomus) to help keep the water clean and clear.
Create a bird lovers’ paradise
Why go out bird counting, if you can create your own backyard oasis around your Kelowna pools? One way to do that is to build a fountain or birdbath to attract hummingbirds and other fine-feathered friends.
Birdbaths and fountains can be solar powered and can be easily cleaned using natural ingredients such as vinegar. They can be made of cast stone, fibreglass, ceramics or metal to suit any design.
