Creating a beautiful pool landscape area can help you to create your own personal oasis. It can relax you, help you get in touch with nature, and provide a beautiful surrounding that finishes your outdoor space. To create a well-landscaped area that is inviting, it is important to determine the best type of plants, shrubs, and trees that will work around your pool area.
Consider the Visual Effect
The first step to landscaping your area is determining which types of plants will provide the visual effect you are looking to achieve. If you are looking to create some shade and some key focal points, trees will be your best solution. Should you be looking to draw the eye and create a maximum visual impact, then hanging plants with colorful blooms, or climbing vines can achieve that aesthetic. If the privacy of the area is your ultimate goal, then you may want to consider combining shrubs and trees and incorporating climbing vines throughout them, which can create a natural enclosure, separating the pool from the yard.
Best Plants for Landscaping Poolside
As with any pool landscape design, there are certain types of plants that will work better than others. Ideally, you will want to choose plants that thrive in full sun, since most pools will be situated in sunny areas. You will also want to include plants that have a variety of colors to break up the greenery around the pool and add to the beauty. Some options you will want to consider for your pool landscape design include:
- Flowers: Beautiful blooms can add the pops of color you are looking for.
- Ornamental Grasses: Ornamental grass is visually striking and is low maintenance.
- Palm Trees: Palm trees can create a tropical feel, are easy to maintain, and can be dressed up with lights.
- Fragrant Blooms: Adding lavender or other fragrant plants can entice both your sight and sense of smell.
