LAGOON IN SADDLE RIVER
Project Description
The terrain of this Saddle River, NJ, landscape aided our ability to create a realistically natural lagoon-style pool with a boulder-lined water feature. The combination of the waterfall and spillover hot tub cascading into the pool makes for a luxurious getaway, right in the backyard. Our use of different patio materials define spaces and complement the spectacular natural beauty of the space. Now the homeowners can enjoy a variety of activities in this private resort including swimming and soaking, sunbathing on the sundeck, cooking and eating on the spacious patio, or enjoying conversation around a fire feature or the poolside cabana. Additionally, the space features a lush lawn and thoughtfully arranged plantings. Overall, the look is simultaneously luxurious and naturally rugged.
Project Challenges
Working on a hillside can bring unique challenges; in this case, however, we used the hillside to our advantage. A series of natural stone retaining walls hold back soil while providing a sense of comforting enclosure to the spacious outdoor living area.
