What happens here
With the hardscaping complete, turn attention to softscaping and recreational elements. Plant privacy trees (such as spruce trees) along the property line to create a natural screen. Install new lawn areas, garden beds, and irrigation systems. Add recreational features to the pool area, such as a slide and a diving board, ensuring they are properly secured and meet safety standards. Connect all pool equipment (pumps, filters, heaters) and electrical systems. Test all new installations thoroughly.
Goal: Install softscaping elements, privacy trees, and recreational pool features.
