Due to Covid-19, the verdict is still out on whether pools at country clubs or public pools will be open this summer. Why not pandemic-proof your family’s fun and make this the year you put in a pool?

Redirect the dollars you’re not spending on that summer vacation or club membership into a pool and transform your backyard into an anytime vacation destination.

From pool installations to patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, spas, lavish landscapes and privacy fencing, Candyapple Nursery & Landscaping in Medina has earned a reputation as a premier local provider.

Mickey Mouse? State of Ohio? They Can Do Creatively Shaped Pools
Always responding to what customers ask for, this year Candyapple is branching out with a new line of customizable pools that can be built in any shape or size to fit your yard, your lifestyle, and your budget.

With pools by Cardinal Systems, if you can imagine it, they can bring it to life. How about the shape of Ohio? Or Mickey Mouse? They can do those. The designers can go beyond classic rectangular, round, oval or kidney shapes, but they build lots of those, too.

The pools come in inground, semi-inground and aboveground styles made from steel with vinyl lining. Candyapple has already broken ground on backyard transformations throughout the Medina area. Designs can include fountains, waterfalls, water features and hot tubs. If there’s an architectural or elevation element to your yard, they can build a pool to fit perfectly within it.

Candyapple pools come in inground, semi-inground and aboveground styles made from steel with vinyl lining.

Every element of the design is customizable to fit your personal style, including selecting vinyl liners in a variety of tropical colors and patterns to deep ends for diving, benches surrounding the interior for people to hang out, even swim-up bars if you really want your backyard to have a resort-style bent.

Vinyl Versus Fiberglass
Cardinal Systems is the sister company to Imagine fiberglass pools, also installed by Candyapple. As some of the best-made pools in the industry, featuring superior structural strength and luxurious designs, Imagine models come with a lifetime warranty.

The gentlemen report that with almost every pool job they are installing this year, the customer has requested a fire element for a perfect yin-yang effect. They are experts at creating fire pits, fireplaces, even fire elements within tables and bars. Candyapple can design whichever style and size fits your yard, whether it’s natural wood or gas.

To make the fullest use of your backyard, Candyapple can also build gazebos, pavilions and pergolas, or even enclose the pool with walls and a retractable ceiling.

Putting a Spotlight on It
Outdoor lighting is one of those elements that separates a nice pool from a gorgeous one. And beyond esthetics, the proper lighting can increase your enjoyment of the yard well into the dark hours. The designers are wizards at lighting, creatively mixing up the light sources to bring the outdoors to life at night.

Candyapple’s customers enjoy “one-stop shopping” to complete their yard. Throughout the process, from start to finish, customers will work with just one person who does everything, from stone patios to outdoor kitchens, fencing and overseeing the pool installation. They will also be able to design landscaping that is easy to maintain and looks gorgeous throughout the year, with intermittent bloom cycles.

If the stay-at-home order has a silver lining or two, reconnecting with family is certainly one of them. As the restrictions are lifted, why not keep the togetherness going by building a backyard oasis?
