Landscaping around a swimming pool requires a delicate balance of aesthetics, safety, and durability. One approach that has gained significant attention in recent years is the use of steel edging in pool landscaping. This case study explores how steel edging can transform a standard backyard pool area into a visually striking and functional outdoor space.
Project Overview
The project involved redesigning the backyard of a suburban home, centered around a rectangular swimming pool. The client wanted a modern, low-maintenance landscape that could withstand heavy use while maintaining clean, defined lines. Traditional landscaping swimming pool landscaping materials such as timber and concrete were considered but ultimately replaced with corten steel and powder-coated steel edging due to their durability and contemporary appearance.
Design Objectives
Define Spaces Clearly: Separate the pool deck, planting areas, and lawn with precise boundaries.
Enhance Safety: Create smooth, flush transitions to reduce tripping hazards.
Low Maintenance: Ensure longevity with minimal upkeep, resistant to weathering and corrosion.
Modern Aesthetic: Achieve a sleek, minimalistic look that complements the pool design.
Implementation
Steel edging was installed around the pool perimeter, raised garden beds, and pathway borders. The edging provided crisp, clean lines, creating a visually striking contrast against lush greenery and stone paving. The installation process included:
Site Preparation: Excavating and leveling the areas for steel edging to ensure stability.
Edging Placement: Using long steel strips with hidden fixings to prevent movement and provide a seamless finish.
Integration with Landscaping: Planting low-maintenance shrubs and ornamental grasses along the steel borders to soften the hard edges without compromising the modern look.
Results
The use of steel edging dramatically enhanced the overall poolside environment. Key benefits observed include:
Durability: Steel edges remained intact and rust-free after seasonal weather changes.
Visual Appeal: The crisp lines highlighted the geometric shapes of the pool and surrounding landscape, enhancing the modern aesthetic.
Functional Separation: Clearly defined zones improved safety and ease of movement around the pool area.
Maintenance Reduction: Unlike timber or plastic edging, steel required little upkeep, saving time and cost over the long term.
Conclusion
This case study demonstrates that steel edging is not only a practical solution for swimming pool landscaping but also an effective design tool. By combining durability, low maintenance, and a modern look, steel edging provides a versatile option for homeowners and landscape designers seeking a polished, long-lasting pool environment.
