Pool Area Designs/Outdoor Living
Serving Lexington, Central Kentucky (KY)
What is an Outdoor Living area?
An outdoor living area can be whatever the homeowner wants it to be, provided that the area is outside and that a good deal of family time is spent living in it. Here are a couple of questions for you that will help define what your outdoor living area will be for your Lexington & Central KY area pool
- What are your wants and needs?
- How do you and your family like to spend your time out-of-doors?
- Do you entertain guests often, or is your outdoor time spent with family?

Great For An Add-On Or Renovation Project
Outdoor living products & services can encompass many things. For some families in the Lexington & Central Kentucky area it can be as simple as a furnished patio and grilling area. For others it can be as sophisticated as a fully furnished outdoor kitchen & outdoor fireplace, accented by a relaxing area including a swimming pool and lounge area with a well designed landscape and water garden to add ambiance. Cooking is an important element of most outdoor living areas and usually takes place at all hours from morning until midnight.
Outdoor Kitchen Design
Your outdoor kitchen area will likely incorporate a good barbeque grill, an outdoor refrigerator to keep food and beverages cool and handy, and a counter area where friends can watch and keep you company while you prepare the food. All of these features should be arranged to form an efficient working triangle just as they are indoors. An area to sit, relax, read, converse and even watch TV if possible is a lovely addition to any outdoor living area. Comfortable chairs, couches, side tables, a glider or porch swing and even a daybed can make this area cozy and inviting. The goal here, ultimately, is to make the outdoor living area mirror the comfort and design of the indoors.
Surrounding Landscape Design
The more options available, the more enjoyment can be taken. Finally, atmosphere and ambiance are vital to any outdoor living area; these elements can be created with a well designed water garden and complimentary landscaping. The goal here is to set the mood for whatever activities occur: pool parties, dinner parties, afternoon barbecues or quiet family time. The greatest compliment is to have guests comment that they feel as if they are visiting a resort. Having a clear theme in mind when designing the landscape and water garden is well advised. Some common themes include tropical paradise, desert oasis, north woods retreat, English country garden, Symmetrical Zen inspiration or an eclectic mix of garden features drawn from several themes.
Pool & Spa Lighting
As with virtually every other aspect of inground pool design, the number of pool lighting options has increased over the last several years due to new technologies and consumer demand in the Lexington, Central KY area for more “resort style” features.
For the average pool owner, traditional incandescent lighting is still a good option due to the comparatively low cost of installation. However, for those who want to brighten things up a bit, LED lighting has become the energy efficient and trendy choice. As always, it all depends on your goals, the environment you’re working with, and how much money you have to spend. Stop by our Nicholasville, KY store to see your lighting options.
Pool Decking/Coping Options
Aside from the type and size of your Lexington, Central KY area pool, perhaps one the most important decision you make as pool owners, is the selection of material and the size of pool decking you want. Geddes Pools, in Nicholasville, KY, offers a vast array of choices when it comes to decking. Our decisions are based on several important factors: cost, size of area, typical use, and appearance. Our first rule of thumb in pool decks for you to consider, is to buy as much as you can afford. It will never be cheaper or easier to add square footage to your decking than it is when you build. We’ve heard “I wish my decking was bigger”… never “I wish I had made it smaller”.
