Immersed in Nature

If your idea of a perfect getaway is to be immersed in nature, then why not create that in your own backyard landscape? Many hotels have begun planning individual rooms that are completely immersed in the natural habitat that surrounds them so have your landscaper start with a treehouse that sits off the ground but boasts a full balcony all the way around for sweeping views. Within the treehouse can be all of the modern amenities such as a TV, sound system, and kitchen, or keep it more rustic with just heat and air conditioning and a comfortable bed. One requirement should be large floor to ceiling windows so that you can feel connected to the outdoors even when you are not physically there. A pool and spa combination can complement the natural space by keeping the interiors black to reflect the sun, clouds, and trees nearby for a feeling of serenity and peace. 

Seclusion in a Garden

One of the places many guests love to relax is in the garden of a hotel, especially a boutique hotel with a courtyard type garden. This space is intended to bring calm to the guest while the bustling world is just outside the gates. Your landscaper can create this same type of space for you as a retreat from the bustling, sometimes stressful world outside.

Have your landscaper begin with an eye-catching fence to surround your space, a fence built of sustainable wood, or a low retaining wall with a trellised top where a living screen can take hold and grow. The best gardens have small nooks so planning those into the shape of the fence can ensure that you have at least one for an unexpected surprise such as a fountain there.

Within the garden, the plants should be native and easy to maintain so that your time here is not spent on caring for plants always but is for the restoration of your body and mind. Comfortable outdoor furniture is a must as comfort and calm should be constant companions here.  

Beach-Style Ideas

When you can’t get to the beach but want the atmosphere, have your landscape service design a beach-inspired landscape. The beach means water but since the ocean is far away, a pool can be the next best thing, especially when it has a lagoon area for sunbathing in the shallow water. With a bold blue liner to make you feel like you are truly at a beach resort, the pool can have a cabana nearby to take a break from the sun. Billowing curtains on three sides of the cabana and cushioned loungers underneath continue the beachy feel.

Your landscaper can add a poolside stone wall bar with a tiki hut top where you can serve everyone’s favorite frozen drinks and no one even has to get out of the pool. Add landscape lighting to your beach-style resort backyard and you can swim and enjoy the wonderful weather long into the night.
