A Drones Eye View: The Green Scene Landscaping & Pools

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 29, 2014

Owner and garden artisan Scott Cohen believes his is the first company of its kind to use drones to capture their brand of outdoor magic. If other people in our industry are using drones, we have yet to see their videos on line or any place else, as of yet, he says.

Using a quad-rotor drone equipped with a GoPro high-resolution video camera, the firm has found a fresh and compelling way to demonstrate design ideas to its client base.

Our designs are typically conceived from an overhead perspective, but in the past we were rarely able to see the finished product from the air, explains Cohen. The drone now enables us and our clients to take in the environment from above. Its a game changer in terms of project presentation and promotion.

The Green Scene enjoys a well-earned reputation for often extraordinarily elaborate projects that typically feature a variety of elements, with a majority including highly customized swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, ponds, streams, waterfalls and other water features.

The companys design schemes routinely include a range of elaborate details associated with luxury swimming pools including vanishing edges, a.k.a. infinity pools, attached spas, perimeter overflows, fountains, Baja shelves, beach entries, and colorful plaster, pebble and tile finishes, often featured on national HGTV shows.

Those aquatic features are usually accompanied by outdoor rooms featuring outdoor kitchens, pool houses, cabanas, arbors, pergolas, shade structures, fire/water features, outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, dining areas, elaborate decks and patios, barbecue counters, landscape lighting, outdoor sound systems and finely tailored planting plans.

Because of that multi-faceted visual sophistication, capturing the scenes in land-based still photographs can be challenging. Now with the freedom of the aerial platform, Cohen and company are better able to show off their work from a variety of airborne focal points.

Cohen explains: An element such as a vanishing edge, for example, is all about visual perspective, but that can be tough to illustrate using strictly land-based photography. The drone enables us to show clients how these features visually enhance the setting in just a few seconds.

In addition, he adds, the smoothly shifting perspective of the drone affords views that reveal the aesthetic relationship between the exterior setting and the architecture of the home itself, as well as the surrounding environment.
