Splash Pads! A Great Alternative to Tulsa Pools

Designing and building swimming pools for Tulsa residents to enjoy is something we’re known for here at Oklahoma Landscape. But if you’re looking to create a great summertime play area for the kids without the investment of a pool, splash pads may be the way to go for you and your family. You may have been to a splash pad at a local Tulsa park, but these cool outdoor environments we can build right in your own backyard.

The Landscaping Network mentioned how these residential splash pads have been continually gaining popularity.

“If you want to save money, don’t have the space for a pool, or are looking for a safe way to stay cool, a splash pad is for you,” the article noted.

Ryan Werlich, representative of Rain Deck, a company that makes splash pad kits, indicated that splash pads are very versatile serving as a fun area for kids during the day, a fun area for dogs to play, a great landscaping water feature and even a patio area when they’re not in use.

These fun areas can be smaller than 100 square feet, Werlich noted, or as large as you want.

“A splash pad can be right next to the side of a building, making them a good option for side yards,” Landscaping Network reported. “Splash pads may also be installed as pool tie-ins when building a new pool.”

So if you’re planning building a swimming pool, consider also adding a splash pool!

As the article brought out, there are a variety of options available in splash pad building materials including stamped and stained concrete, pavers, rubber surfacing, slate, flagstone, broom finish and salt finish concrete, and many more.

Accordingly, not only are these splash pads fun for the kids, but they can also be built to match well with the architecture of your home and other Tulsa outdoor environment elements.

A blog post on apartmenttherapy.com featured a backyard super splash pad for a family with four children built from non-slippery Travertine tiles. The mother noted that they wanted something that looked mature but was also very child-friendly. She said it’s something their whole family enjoys in the hot Florida sun. Pictured above, this residential splash deck has a sophisticated design and yet is also kid-friendly. Keeping the design modern and simple like this one is provides a water feature that will not look too childish, but one that will coordinate with any luxury residential space.

So these exciting Tulsa outdoor living spaces can be kid-friendly and sophisticated all at the same time. They can be the perfect addition to your outdoor environment, particularly if you’re worried about space for a pool or the cost.

As experts in Tulsa pool design, our landscape contractors can design and build the ideal splash pad for your family and your landscape. We can create an entire outdoor living space for your family to ‘find themselves outside’ this summer!

Water Feature Ideas for Soothing Tulsa Outdoor Living

Don't you just love the calming sounds of water flowing through your garden? It's always a soothing feature of an outdoor living space in Tulsa. Many people are opting to build stunning and sometimes distinctive water features in their outdoor environments. Not only adding a relaxing character to the outdoor living area, water features also can become the focal point of the space and can entice colorful birds that help to invigorate the space even more. 

Especially if your Tulsa landscape has a slope or changes in its topography, a flowing stream and waterfall are perfect embellishments to your garden. Line the stream with vibrant native plants to provide more eye-catching interest, and you can create a beautiful path through your outdoor living space. As Better Homes and Gardens (BHG) noted, “Run your stream over different materials and at varying depths to create a variety of delightful gurgles.”

Water features and gardens with an Asian theme are becoming more prevalent as homeowners want a more tranquil tone in their outdoor space. Whether simply for pondering by the water or a space for entertaining, Asian-style water gardens offer an exclusive, Zen-like atmosphere. Using bamboo, arbors, wooden teahouses and bridges, and reflecting pools, you can bring your Japanese garden to life.

Adding Tulsa hardscapes around your water feature can really enrich your outdoor living experience. Building a pergola and seating area can help afford a place to relax and contemplate life while watching your water garden, which may be teaming with fish or surrounded by birds that flock to the colorful foliage nearby the water feature. An artful bridge offers an additional focal point across a stream or pond. A deck adjacent to a pond or other water feature provides a great place to unwind or entertain. Using various pavers and hardscapes in a variety of textures and shapes can create more appeal and charm in your water garden.

If you would like to start small, BHG recommended placing a water feature in a planting bed or even using a bowl filled with a miniature water lily to serve as an outdoor dining centerpiece.

Whether you would like a more formal water garden or something with a more relaxed, even country feel, the Tulsa landscape designers at Oklahoma Landscape can create the perfect outdoor living area for your lifestyle and home.

Water Features Add Character to Tulsa Outdoor Living Spaces

Decorative water features bring character and life to your Tulsa outdoor environment. These elements create an area of added serenity and beauty for your outdoor living space. In a survey conducted by the American Society of Landscape Architects, decorative water elements were predicted to be in high demand for home landscapes. There are a variety of different decorative water features that can be added to an outdoor space.

Some of the more familiar ornamental water features include fountains, ponds, and streams. Fountains add an interesting focal point to your landscape. Fountains can be built in ponds and with streams of water spraying from them. There are also wall fountains that can be attached to buildings or other garden structures that bring a soothing sound of trickling water to the outdoor living space. Fountains can be created using a variety of materials like stone, concrete, marble, and tile as well as in an array of colors. They can have lights attached to them to produce a romantic nighttime glow and bring out the subtle beauty of flowing water.

Waterfalls and grottos bring life to a custom swimming pool and landscape. These features that can be made to resemble natural caves offer culture and depth to a landscape, especially a pool, creating a focal point for the body of water.

Waterfalls can also be built in connection with ponds and streams. Imagine listening to a cascading waterfall in your outdoor space, reading a book by the koi pond and stream. Waterfalls not only create an amazingly soothing atmosphere for your outdoor environment, but they are also a practical addition for your decorative pond. In keeping water moving, these elements help to keep the pond’s water clean, free from algae, and help to add needed oxygen to the water for plants and fish to thrive. Designing a waterfall can be very tricky in deciding how high the waterfall should be in relation to the surrounding elements. The landscape design experts at Oklahoma Landscape can help design the perfect waterfall and decorative water features for your Tulsa outdoor space.
Water runnels are a linear channel that carries water through the landscape. These can help retain rainwater and move it through the landscape in an aesthetically engaging and practical way.

Other water features include splash pools and water bubblers, as well as ornamental pools. These all have their own unique features that can bring creativity and flare to your outdoor environment, as well as add value to your home and property.
