Having a place to relax and cool off makes the daily adventure of residing in the dry heat bearable. This doesn’t mean staying indoors and cranking the air conditioner is the only way. Soaking oneself in the calm, rejuvenating waters of a backyard Arizona pool brings a refreshing way to combat the summer heat, but also adds a sense of enjoyment to a Sonoran Desert residence like at Desert Mountain.
Coming in all different shapes, sizes and depths, a pool is a place where a house can truly feel like a home, and a setting for your closest friends and family. As the centerpiece of the backyard, designing a pool shouldn’t be just another location to escape the heat and to unwind. It is an extension of your home’s theme and character.
A standard pool shape is either rectangular or circular, but the feeling you get as you delight in your outdoor paradise should be anything but. A rectangular pool in the style of the Mediterranean can be surrounded by brick pavers and accented by blue tiles, all to mimic an Italian-esque charm. A circular pool, often in the shape of a kidney or freeform with rounded edges, is an opportunity to seamlessly blend with the landscape. From a certain angle, these negative-edge pools forgo any type of barrier between you and the horizon, allowing for a stunning, unobstructed view of Arizona beauty.
The resort-style sophistication gives you the sensation of vacationing at a five-star retreat, albeit just a few steps away from the comfort of your own home. The warmth and coziness of an added spa is an inviting place to melt away your troubles. The ambience of deck fountains, waterfalls, curated rock formations and even LED lights add distinct sights and sounds to this refined way of living.
A pool in Arizona is never alone in its outdoor environment. It’s often surrounded by lush greenery that mirrors a European-style countryside getaway, or the ancient Saguaros, granite, limestone or sandstone rock of the Sonoran Desert we call home. A large, covered patio with stylish furniture accompanies the pool and offers areas to still enjoy the outdoors while staying out of the sun. A backyard grill and kitchen with a fire pit alongside provide idyllic spots for outdoor dining and entertaining.Pools come in many forms. The ideas on what you could make yours into are endless. With the right touches, Arizona pools produces a sensation of pure luxury in an oasis that is all your own.
