Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

What are the best plants for pool landscaping?

Choose plants that are low-maintenance and can withstand poolside conditions, such as succulents, grasses, and palms.

How can I create privacy around my pool?

Consider using privacy screens, hedges, or tall plants like bamboo to create a secluded pool area.

What are some low-maintenance pool landscaping ideas?

Opt for hardscaping elements like stones and pavers, and select drought-resistant plants to reduce upkeep.

How do I prevent pool damage from landscaping?

Avoid plants with invasive roots near pool structures, choose non-shedding varieties to minimize debris, and maintain proper drainage to prevent water pooling that could undermine the pool foundation.

What's the ideal distance for planting trees near a pool?

Plant trees at least 10-15 feet away from the pool edge to avoid root damage to plumbing and structures, reduce leaf litter, and prevent shade that could cool the water temperature.

How can I incorporate lighting into my pool landscape?

Use a combination of path lights for safety, uplighting for trees and architectural features, underwater pool lights for ambiance, and accent lighting on hardscape elements to create layers of illumination for nighttime enjoyment.
