design natural swimming pool + landscaping:  Thomas Schell 




Upon the first contact with the owners, they were looking for someone who could design a planting scheme around their newly installed swimming pond. The swimming pond is used daily, winter and summer. As a result, the garden is visited daily and it is therefore important that the vibe was right.

The lawn made way for a species-rich planting with many useful plants for as many insects as possible.


A path of XL flagstones with evergreen joints leads you to the most important places in the garden.
At the front, the planting connects with the atmosphere of the rear facade via a gravel zone. Appropriate drought-tolerant plants with white, yellow, and a hint of pink tones have been chosen here.
 





Further back we subtly transition to a more naturalistic planting with purple and pink colors from early summer.
