Making Your Swimming Pool A Year-Round Destination

A Moment To Live, An Experience to be shared

Living in Southern California means hot summers and mild winters. Our idea of a dream home involves as much indoor living as outdoor entertaining and a pool is the centerpiece of any custom backyard. Here are some things to consider when planning your activities for the various seasons of the Inland Empire.

Wet and Chilly Winter Times

A proper backyard design provides not just fun for one season, but for all. The winter months will see less pool time, but an increase in an evening spa.

  • Firepits and fire features will provide a place of gathering for guests.
  • Lighting will make guests feel welcomed in the evening – consider not only lighting of pool and spa, but also of pathways, entrances, trees and foliage.
  • Heating an entire pool in the winter is great for an occasional party, but an amazing spa will provide a retreat that can be hot at nearly a moment’s notice.

Hot, Hot Summer Activities

Residents of Redlands, Yucaipa, Banning and Beaumont know that triple digit summer days are common in the hottest months. Plan ahead to get the most fun while keeping it safe.

  • Pools. Pools. Pools. Without a great source of water fun, guests will not cool down and kids will be very hot and sweaty. Bring everyone together with a pool that fits your property.
  • Shade is your friend. Awnings, umbrellas, canvas panels… there are many options to help provide refuge from the intense summer heat.
  • Built-in BBQ areas serve as a gathering center for guests, especially when food is sizzling.
  • Roasting marshmallows in the poolside firepit for the perfect s’more is a memory that every child and grandchild deserves to experience.

Crisp Spring Festivities

Spring is when we see new life and growth of flowering plants to shake off those dreary cold of winter months. A properly framed walking path through gardens or vegetable planters can provide the perfect environment for a Sunday brunch with family and friends.

  • Expect water in the form of light rain and morning drizzle. Furniture with removable cushions can be helpful in avoiding soggy seating.
  • Outdoor appliances will keep key ingredients cold – champagne and orange juice, perhaps – and a BBQ with a full island can easily be setup to accommodate chaffing dishes to keep hot foods steaming.
  • An Easter egg hunt in a custom backyard can have many exciting treasures for kids to explore and an Instagram-worthy dining arrangement of fresh flowers with pastel linens to welcome your guests.

No matter the occasion, Proscape can transform your backyard and its shimmering pool into a memorable spot for entertaining any time of the year!
