Designing the Perfect City Garden With A Beautiful Pool



If you’re lucky enough to have a backyard this beautiful, there’s no need for a cottage! Designer Brian Gluckstein gives us a tour of his lush urban oasis in Toronto, which was over 20 years in the making. The whole outdoor space is surrounded by large trees, providing ample shade for lounging in the garden or doing laps in the pool. You’ll love the three sets of French doors framed with planters and candle lanterns, and the high-tech barbecue surrounded by lemon and lime trees. Plus, learn more about Brian’s savvy irrigation system, so he never has to worry about watering the plants!

    3:46 his pool is decent but he cant tell people how to design their homes. "I don't want people to have…" It doesn't matter what you want for other people idiot.

    It is by far one of the best video, I have ever come across on the web. A perfect amalgamation of nature and human being's love towards it. ❤

    I’m a big fan and this backyard is amazing! I like the turf idea! Keeps grass out of the pool, too. I’d love to know how you winter the palms and the citrus trees.

    He gets it. When I buy my house, I need to have a backyard oasis similar to this. I also hate when the pool is surrounded by endless stone/concrete!!

    Love love love the garden, pool and using turf instead of grass! And love Brian’s sense of humor….the unexpected noise from the jet flying overhead was hilarious! In my mind, the time spent creating the meticulously perfect video and then the jet noise…I could not stop laughing ….not at Brian…. but the whole f——'n scenario! I could not stop laughing! The tears were streaming down my face…so thank you for a very hardy laugh this Sunday morning! I really needed that!

    A beautiful garden. So calm and soothing. A real sanctuary.

    I know that many people do not like artificial turf, but I use it in my garden because the grassed area is so small, it was not worth having a mower. When they first see it, no one believes it is fake. I bought one with longer "leaves", and deliberately did not make the subsurface level. As a result, when leaves have fallen on it as well, it does not look at all fake. There are small bumps and hollows, and from the house it looks like an average lawn. I keep a small offcut of the turf so show the doubters that it's not real.
