PROJECT PROFILE
Federico Pool and Spa
The Challenge: Install a pool and spa between the client's house and the existing pool house on the property.
The Result: The McHale team brought this client's vision to life by:
renovating the existing deck;
installing a unique outdoor living space that includes a free-form pool and spa and a fire pit;
using the existing elevation to construct a natural-style waterfall that flows into the pool;
planting the backyard with naturalized, traditional plantings; and
constructing a raised vegetable garden with fencing.
Resistant to deer and disease, this evergreen shrub is a slow-grower and requires little maintenance for the beautiful red berries it produces from Christmastime throughout the winter.
