Swimming Pool Retreats

Home & Garden Landscapes specializes in the design and creation of lush landscapes that transform swimming pools into retreats.  Whether it’s adding color, mature screening solutions or perhaps a grove of cold-hardy palms, we can transform your swimming pool. With literally hundreds of pool transformations under our belt, we can create the ideal pool oasis for you.
