Sanibel poolside transformation

When the going gets tough, the tough get renovating! Like many on Sanibel, Hurricane Charley ravaged this property. The homeowners seized it as an opportunity to create the outdoor living space they’d always dreamed of. They called on Elemental to provide design and installation of their new natural stone poolscape. A concrete masonry contractor put up columns and a wall around the pool area, creating a courtyard. We clad them in crazy horse flagging, which provides color and textural contrast and interest.

Then we strategically placed Ozark moss stones on the pool deck. It does naturally grow a small beautiful moss – the effect is like it’s always been there, and the pool had been dug through the middle, instead of the other way around.
