Piedmont Oasis

Palms, a boulder grotto and fire bowls turn a suburban backyard into a resort.

A freeform pool with a tanning ledge and in-water loungers, a grotto waterfall you can sit behind, and a raised spa with fire bowls on the wall — all planted with hardy palms and bananas that survive an Upstate winter.

An outdoor kitchen and a fire pit lounge with Adirondack chairs make the far side of the pool the evening destination.
