Welcome to paradise

“We wanted to create a tropical paradise,” says Mitch Knapp (president of Scenic Landscaping and a partner at Tapestry Landscape Architecture, both in Haskell) of this stunning patio and pool area in Frank-
lin Lakes.

In keeping with the theme, wild, natural-looking elements are incorporated throughout the space. Exotic plants—including coral-bark maple, gold mop cypresses, natural grasses and tropical annuals—evoke a remote natural wonderland. A large patio made of Idaho quartzite from Stonetown Construction Corporation in Oakland provides an ideal spot to soak up the sun, while an irregular- shaped pool, moss rock waterfall, Jacuzzi and curved waterslide—all from B&B Pool & Spa Center in Chestnut Ridge, N.Y.—create an extra splash of fun.

“The homeowner told me he wanted to feel like he was on vacation all the time, and that’s what we achieved,” says Knapp.
