Our pool is now 10 years old, and we still use it every day during our sizzling Arizona summers. We didn't have much room in our yard, but managed to get the best use out of the space available.
Awesome use of the space!! That's a beautiful pool...so relaxing with the water feature, and the landscape is perfection. I have a small pool, too...so I know the challenges to use all the space wisely! Congrats and enjoy!
Just curious why folks in Arizona almost always have a wall around their yard. Is it a carryover from Hispanic influence? I travel to Phoenix and Yuma for work, and that's always been a curiosity for me.

I suppose some of it may have been because of Hispanic influence, but rarely do you see walls around the front of a home. There are few alleys and where there are alleys, they are used only for service utility trucks. Most neighborhoods have no alleys. There is a little more security because of it. You will also notice that there are very few homes that have front yards towards a main street. That is another oddity. I think the walls have mostly been kept in community planning because there are so many pools and it also keeps the wild critters out, such as coyote, javelina, etc. The downside of it is, you don't get to know your neighbors quite as much.
I love it, I should go visit and see what you did . I want Queen Palms so bad, but they always look so drab to me. Your Queen Palms look great and now I want them again
@gsmiley....Most peeps never fertilize their Queen Palms, and they can look very bad if not fertilized and watered properly. I use the Deep Drip tree watering stakes filled with granular palm tree food to keep my Queens looking healthy.
