Landscape for pools - Ideas There are many plant choices to choose from when you think about landscape for pools. Landscape for pools will require a little thought as there are many plant choices. Whether your pool is above ground or in the ground will make a difference in the types of plants you choose and the possibility of their exposure to chemically treated water will also help choosing the right pool landscaping easier. Landscape for pools - Ground pools For in the ground pools, shrubs and trees should avoided if planting in close proximity as the growing roots can cause problems later when they begin to grow into the pool’s foundation.Since most in the ground pools will be surrounded by a privacy and safety fence, plants can be chosen for the perimeter as well as in any open areas inside the fence. Inside pool landscaping For inside pool landscaping, plants should be non-deciduous, meaning they won’t lose their leaves every year, which will often accumulate in the water. Even evergreen shrubs run the risk of needles blowing in to the water during stormy weather and clogging the pool’s filtering system. All plants placed near the pool should be low blooming varieties and most often the simpler the better. Many annual plants will wither and die if exposed to water from the pool, especially those pools treated with chlorine. Protecting Your Pool From External Forces Outside the fence allows more flexibility in the choice of plants, but remember the more flowers and plants you put in, the more work you will have to maintain them, detracting from the time available for using the pool. When choosing pool landscaping for around the pool’s fence, the plants should not grow higher than the fence as their leaves will end up on the water before the summer is over How to add neat look to your pool? Small grouping of low flowers, with plenty of open space between them can add a neat look to your pool landscaping and still provide a splash of color around the fence. An occasional shrub strategically placed around the fence’s exterior can contribute to the apparent height of the fence but, again, should not be allowed to grow over the fence. Things that are to be noted - Flying pests Watch out for flowers that attract pests. Many flowers are attractive to honey bees and other flying insects that can interrupt your enjoyment of the pool.
