An Illusion in Magnolia Green

This elegant backyard retreat centers around a 40-foot Illusion fiberglass pool from Imagine Pools, seamlessly integrated into a soft, garden-inspired setting. The pool is trimmed in bluestone tread coping and features an automatic cover system, preserving safety without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. The surrounding deck is composed of Techo-Bloc’s BLU 60 slabs in Champlain Grey, bordered with a subtle Antika paver inlay in Shale Grey to create delicate texture and movement.

Enhancing the space is a custom grill island wrapped in Chocolate Grey thin stone veneer, complemented by a matching retaining wall that helps manage the slope and create structure. But what truly sets this project apart is its flourishing plant palette—thoughtfully layered for privacy, texture, and seasonal blooms that not only elevate the backyard’s beauty but provide fresh-cut flowers for the homeowners throughout the warmer months. Whether lounging poolside, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this space offers peace, privacy, and understated luxury.
