Creating a relaxing landscape with a pool can be a great way to enjoy your outdoor space. With a few simple steps, you can create a beautiful and inviting area for friends and family.
The first step is to create a plan for the area. Consider the size and shape of the pool, the type of plants and trees, and the furniture and accessories you plan to include. Think about the types of activities you would like to do in this area, such as swimming, entertaining, or relaxing. Landscaping and hardscaping are two separate processes that work together to create outdoor spaces. Landscaping involves the design and installation of living elements, such as plants, trees, shrubs, flowers, and turf. Hardscaping involves the design and installation of non-living elements, such as walkways, walls, patios, and fences.

Once you have a plan in place, it's time to start laying out the pool. If you are using an in-ground pool, make sure it is level and the surrounding area is properly graded to ensure proper drainage. For above-ground pools, make sure there is plenty of space around it for seating and any other amenities you plan to include.
Next, choose the plants and trees that will best complement the pool area. Consider evergreen trees for year-round interest, and flowering shrubs and perennials for seasonal color. Make sure to select plants that will thrive in your climate and soil conditions.
Finally, add furniture and accessories to your pool area. Choose chairs and tables that are comfortable, and add a few pieces of outdoor art or sculptures. You can also add lighting to the area, such as tiki torches or small landscape lights.
