Creating a custom pool with Candyapple Nursery & Landscaping
By Patricia Nugent
The American family is busier than ever, with kids and parents on an ever-revolving treadmill of sports, travel tournaments, school activities and work travel. Syncing schedules has made the traditional concept of a vacation a dicey, catch-it-if-you-can proposition.
That’s why more and more people are rethinking their own backyard as an anytime vacation destination and installing pools, patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, spas, lavish landscapes and privacy fencing surrounding them.
Candyapple Nursery & Landscaping, which has earned a reputation for installing the ultimate inground fiberglass pools, is branching out this year 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.
Using pools by Cardinal Systems Inc., the sky is the limit to what Candyapple can build. Pools by Cardinal come in inground, semi-inground and aboveground styles made from steel with vinyl lining. The company is already scheduling consultations for spring jobs, and breaking ground on backyard transformations.
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. They can go beyond classic rectangular, round, oval or kidney shapes. If you can imagine it, Candyapple can build it. How about the shape of Ohio? Or Mickey Mouse? They can do that.
They can build pools with deep ends for diving, benches surrounding the interior for people to hang out, even a swim-up bar if you really want your backyard to have a resort flavor.
To further fit your personality, the vinyl liners come in a wide variety of tropical colors and tile-look styles. They are also resistant to algae, mold and bacteria to ensure a longer life.
An added benefit to maintaining these pools is the HydroBlox water filtration system. Water is pulled into drains at the bottom of the pool instead of the top, so it needs less cleaning, and your pool will stay clear and debris-free much longer than with traditional drainage. Made from 100 percent recycled plastic, HydroBlox is environmentally friendly, too.
Made in America, Cardinal pools is the sister company to Imagine fiberglass pools, also installed by Candyapple.
According to Candyapple, these are the best-made pools in the industry, featuring superior structural strength and luxurious designs. The Imagine models come with a lifetime warranty.
In addition to full-sized pools, one of the hottest trends in the industry right now is the super versatile swim spa. Part hot tub, part single lane lap pool, these heated, above-ground spas offer year-round fun and fitness. On one end they feature continuous current jets for those who like to swim laps, and on the other is the seating and jets for a hot tub. They also come with fun entertaining options such as Bluetooth speakers and lighting that changes colors.
Candyapple is capable of making sure people get the right-fit, very best pool for their dollar, for both residential and commercial jobs.
Once the pool is built, adding fire to the mix is a must, and almost every pool job includes the installation of a fire pit or fireplace.
Candyapple can design whichever style and size fits your yard, whether its natural wood or gas. One of the most in-demand items this year is a metal grate grill top that goes over the top of a fire pit. People can cook enough burgers on top for a big crowd, or anything else they want to fire up on the barbie.
Putting a Roof Over it
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.
The designers are wizards at lighting, too, creatively mixing up the light sources to bring the outdoors to life at night and extend your enjoyment.
Candyapple’s customers enjoy the “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.
