We're organising a new pool for the back yard. It will take up a considerable part of 1/2 of it. So we are left with some areas between the pool and side fence; pool and back fence; and pool and house. The other half of the back area will be lawn/garden etc.
I have this idea of using pavers to complement the pool - as its not a large area - so not too expensive, BUT we will probably want some cover from the sun. Maybe an umbrella or some sort of overhanging device. My wife loves the sun but I burn.
Are there pavers that come ready made to add an umbrella - or shade device - or would it be better to do this when the paver men were doing the job ?
I'm open to ideas at the moment. The pool is a rectangle but within a square area. So any ideas would be good. Pavers to house sounds a good idea. We have a sliding door from main bedroom to this area - so a step might be necessary too.
I'm planning on plants/trees around it too. Not sure if they should be in the ground OR in large pots ?
I'm thinking low maintenance too ...
