When I planned my backyard, I thought the pool was going to be the dream feature. More fun, better flow for parties, easier entertaining. And in many ways, it does deliver on those promises.
But I also realized that keeping wet, grassy footprints out of the house was trickier than it looked. The key is not just having a pool, but learning how to complement it.
