Brick Courtyard with Rectangular Plunge Pool
In this small backyard courtyard, a rectangular plunge pool is framed by brick and bluestone paving, clipped boxwood hedges, and blooming hydrangeas beside a Georgian colonial house with red brick and black shutters.
Design notes
Colonial pools are symmetrical rectangles set on the house's axis, framed by boxwood and brick or bluestone terraces. Look for a matching pair of planters or trees at the far end, white or black fencing that meets code without shouting, a shingled or clapboard pool house, and lawn running up to the terrace. The palette stays to white, green and grey.
What to look for
- The coping — how the deck meets the water sets the whole tone
- Where the spa sits and how it spills into the pool
- Night lighting: which features glow and which stay dark
