Landscaping tips for above ground swimming pools
Landscaping tips for above ground swimming pools- How about adding a deck? There is no reason you can’t have a raised deck to surround your swimming pool. A pool deck will not only look great, but will give you a beautiful place on which to sit and enjoy the pool without having to be in the water. You will also likely spend as much time around the pool as you will in the water so having a comfortable, beautiful place to relax is a must.
- Your pool ladder can be useful as well as beautiful. You can choose from a metal ladder, a standard resin or a wooden ladder. Make sure what ever kind of ladder you get that it has a locking mechanism to keep curious children out when you’re not around.
- Don’t forget the furniture. Choose furniture that is durable, weatherproof and that matches your home color scheme. Or you can choose pool furniture that sets the pool apart from the rest of your space. The key is to look for comfort and function.
- How green is your thumb? You can either choose live plants or you can choose beautiful artificial plants to decorate the pool area. You plant or use tall artificial plants to surround the pool. Add plants to the deck itself or add tall plants to surround the deck and extend over the top of the deck.
- If you don’t have shade trees around the pool and its deck, consider adding pop up umbrellas or an awning that can be opened and closed depending on where the sun is shining at that time of the day.
Talk with your pool contractor and put together your wish list for your above ground pool landscaping project.
