Swimming pools are so last season, the new trend which will bring you closer to nature are backyard swimming ponds and they look amazing. This past year has brought a lot of people closer to nature, and many went looking for ponds in the Summer to take a refreshing dip.
If you want to recreate that feeling of freedom in your home, you can make a natural swimming hole in your garden. This is a more natural way to create a relaxing outdoor area and San Antonio Builders specialize in this type of pool. They even decorate the ponds with small artworks, landscape design, and even greenery which will make the ponds look just like they are in their natural habitat.

Swimming holes take us back to childhood memories of exploring creeks and swinging on ropes into the waters of a lake or pond. Summer time and swimming holes are one and the same in many of our minds!

Water gardens are a new thing to try if you want to upgrade your yard and give it a modern touch. Water has a nice calming effect and besides creating an ooze of calmness, it can also create a refreshing space in your garden. You can create either a small pond or a moving water installation. Ponds are a nice choice if you want to have fish in your backyard. But moving installations offer you much more creative freedom as you can choose between a wide variety of moving water gardens. Our favorite is the moving garden created out of pots that has a very funky look and can bring a new touch to your garden. Take a look at all the examples from the photo gallery and tell us which one you like the most. Some of them are very easy to build and can be made at home, some require the hand of a professional.
