Create your perfect oasis by your poolside!

The summer is in full swing and you're ready to have the most relaxing staycation of your life. The only thing standing between you and a stellar summer staycation is an improvement to your pool.

This blog post will offer 5 must-haves for upgrading your pool deck so that it's worthy of being called five-star status.

You deserve the best this summer, so let's get started on your staycation paradise!

1. Hardscapes

A well-designed and built pool deck can make the difference between a disappointing summer staycation, and one that is truly memorable.

This includes features like walkways or stairs to get into your pool or spa, lights for evening swimming parties, or even a waterfall feature as an alternative way to cool down on hot days. You want to plant trees around the perimeter of your yard so they create shade during those hotter evenings. Your imagination’s the only limit when it comes to hardscaping upgrades!

2. Curb Appeal

It does not matter if you have these awesome things in your backyard. If the things you do are not attractive from far away, then nobody will notice them. Be careful that there is no clutter left by kids or anything else that will distract people from seeing how nice your pool deck is.

You can also make it more interesting with party lights so when people drive down the street at night they can see how great your backyard is!

3. Lighting

In today's world, you need to have good lighting. You can make the light look good and be safe with lights that are well designed and strategically placed.

For example, on a poolside, there should always be lights near entrances and steps into pools or spas so that people are safe. You can also find ideas online like this outdoor string lights layouts!

4. Firepit

The addition of a gas or natural firepit is great for outdoor spaces, especially if you're having a swim while the sun goes down. Give you and your guests a place to warm up during chilly evenings. Firepits also give a fun and cozy ambiance.

5. Pool Liner

You already have a pool. This is an expensive upgrade, but it lasts for years and so you will save money in the long run. There are many choices of liners, like vinyl or stone (pebbles). Vinyl is easier to maintain since it doesn't absorb water or stains as easily and lasts longer than other liners when they are outside all the time.

The Bottom Line

Whether you choose to add hardscapes or lighting, a firepit, or curb appeal; these are all great ways to make sure that your staycation is one of the most memorable ever.

We hope this article gives you some inspiration and ideas as you think about how to spend the perfect summer day!
