These properties have the goods when it comes to being ready and well stocked for pool season.

So, let's don bathing suits and raise an umbrella drink to the glory of the SoCal pool life.

The Water's Edge Above San Diego

This Mediterranean-inspired estate used to be home to a female world number one tennis pro. It's wood covered patio leads to waterfall grottos that flow into an infinity edge pool that looks out on views of Rancho Santa Fe and the San Dieguito River Valley.

Infinity edge pools trick the eye into thinking that water has no boundaries. Standing inside the pool and looking west, a swimmer would have the illusion of the water blending seamlessly with the pale blue sky.

This pool would be the perfect 19th hole after a day spent swinging clubs on the Crosby Golf Club course.

Splash Around In Sheryl Crow's Former Pad

Sheryl Crow relisted her three-home spread this year. Consisting of a Spanish Revival style house, a craftsman's home, and a cozy cottage, this LA compound could rock any size party.

Take the winding pathways between properties, past the tepee, to a pleasant infinity pool with plenty of comfy lounge chairs and shady spots to kick back.

The pool was designed by Jonny Appleseed Landscaping who brings 25 years of garden and pool making experience to craft an outdoor oasis that considers the wind, weather, sun, and style as all part of the design.

A Blend of Water and Concrete Becomes a Work of Art

This modern Rancho Santa Fe estate melds the indoors and outdoors with wet and dry spaces in an architectural pattern that is both artful and soothing.

Blue tiles blur the water's edge that jigsaws through the palatial patio space, running at one point under a shady portico and in other spots reflecting the passing clouds in the open sky above.

While this massive pool begs the owner to invite many guests, a smaller plunge pool nearby offers a peaceful place for quiet introspection or more intimate gatherings.

Open Space and Clean White Lines Lead to This Pool

This tropical Encino home features fine architecture on a green lot with a huge pool in the backyard.

Swim laps in the big pool before recovering in the connected whirlpool spa. A great expanse of space bordered by tall trees, this gleaming place belongs to those hearty souls wanting to swim freely, breath deeply, and enjoy the feel of cool water on their backs and soft grass between their toes.

Alan Titchmarsh, the host of the popular British lifestyle gardening show Love Your Garden, calls gardening, "apart from having children, the most rewarding thing in life."

If that's true, then these homes have reaped a huge reward.

Atlanta's Secret Garden

Imagine having your own private garden retreat minutes away from all that Buckhead has to offer. If this walled peace garden isn't enough to stir the spirit, this Cates Ridge property has over 8 usable acres--including a terraced stone path that leads to a waterfall emptying into a lake.

What could have just been an outdoor shower area, has become an old world-inspired reflecting pond and meditation space in the hands of a capable landscaper. The green grass is kept just long enough to curl around the edges of the natural stepping stones. Creeping ivy grows along the red brick retaining wall, while in the foreground a large potted fern keeps everything in balance. The stone bench is angled smartly to catch the calming trickle of water off of a rock into the gently bending pond below.

Secluded garden nooks don't usually appear on properties sporting full gyms, a Fox theater, and a massive pool, but that's what makes this spot such a charmer. Property listing by Debra Johnston.

Vancouver's All Decked Out Dining Space

Canada's real estate queen Sidra Subzwari lists some magnificent properties, but what makes this home special is the very attractive angular deck.

When a deck is not built with a designer's vision--it can be an eyesore but done correctly, a deck can be both comfortable and attractive.

This South Surrey home's deck spills into the yard like a smooth wooden landing pad. Tables and chairs outline various seating and entertainment options, from dinner under the stars to snuggling beside a warm fire. Potted perennials frame the edges in a much more pleasing and fragrant way than any railing would.

A small step up leads to French doors and the living area of the house, while one step down transitions into a stone walkway meandering into a verdant green yard.

Old Florida Charm

Few features feel more "old Florida" than the smell of seawater, tall palm trees, and white wicker rockers on wide porches. This Shell Point estate in Ruskin has all of that Floridian flavor in spades.

The grand white-washed collonades contrast pleasingly with the sun-drenched light green of the tropical plants and blue waters of Tampa Bay.

When this historic manor was originally built, its bones had to be ferried by barge across the bay and assembled using early 1900's methods. The old steeple still stands proudly above the mature trees on a lot that also features a lagoon and waterfall.

Houses like this come with their own stories, whispered in the crux of those tranquil twisting palms.

A Palace Garden Comes To Carmel, California

In the 17th Century, gardens in France were symbols of status. Members of the bourgeoisie class under Louis XIV used landscaping as a means of showing the world their wealth.

Offered by Carmel Realty Company, this established garden overlooking the ocean and surrounding a grand home off Mentone Road has something inspired by those formal gardens of royal Europe.

Solid stone steps and chiseled railings jutting out from behind stout hedges. A long swath of grass is cross-cut by pattern-laid stepping stones shadowed by landscaped beds cut into the naturally sloping earth.

Green, gray, and brown are the dominant hues here. The overall effect is a kingly garden--mature and refined. A manicured space carved from the wild overgrowth that plunges down the steep cliffs into the ocean below.

Home gardens can be precise or rough around the edges, contemporary or inspired by history. Their prestige is in their offerings: protection, privacy, rejuvenation, focus, and fresh air.
