Building A Backyard Oasis In Arizona

One of the best things about living in Arizona is the gorgeous desert landscape. As an AZ pool builder, we love creating a backyard pool oasis that fits naturally into the scenery. Over the years, we’ve constructed several pools that match the gorgeous colors and tones of the desert and blend beautifully into the native Arizona landscape. So we’ve picked up some great ideas on how to make your backyard pool look like it is part of the desert. Here are some pool design tips for anyone can achieve this beautiful look:

Incorporate Desert Pool Decking Options

There are some gorgeous decking options that match the desert colors. Stone decking like travertine, coral stone, and limestone offer the warm neutral beige and tan colors of the desert sands. You can also achieve this look with stamped and dyed concrete for a little less. We recommend getting a sample and seeing how it fits into the colors of your backyard at different times of day to pick the best option.

Rock Features And Waterfalls

Using stones sourced from local quarries and stacked around your pool can help it blend into the environment. You can take this to the next level by using adding a water feature. Though sometimes only seen during monsoon season, they are beautiful rock waterfalls scattered all over AZ. We love taking inspiration directly from these natural rock formations and creating a desert-inspired water feature for a backyard pool.

Natural Landscaping With Native Plants

Finally, to really bring the look of the desert to your backyard pool, we recommend incorporating native plants into your landscaping. Acacia, velvet mesquite, and Arizona rosewood offers a dual function by adding a touch of the desert and privacy. While a variety of prairie zinnia, globe mallow, and penstemon can add a pop of color. Of course, don’t forget to add some of the most notable desert plants, a mix of cacti.

Creating a backyard oasis inspired by the AZ desert is one of our favorite projects at No Limit Pools.
