Landscaping For Above Ground Pool

Landscaping for above ground pool is not a lot different to landscaping for an inground pool.

There is nothing worse then looking out into your backyard and seeing a big white or blue monster staring back at you.

Above ground pools can look hideously out of place sometimes.

The big problem most people have with an above ground pool is privacy, since the pool is usually quite high.

The best way to combat this is with container gardening. Planting trees and shrubs in containers, not permanently into the ground is the best idea for above ground pools. Why? Because an above ground pool is built to be portable. So the surroundings need to be somewhat flexible with their location.

Plants like Japanese Maples make perfect screens.

Just like an inground pool, lighting around an above ground pool gives it a nice look at night.

You could, if you had the time and money, create a deck that connected your home and your pool.

Think Four Seasons: When designing your backyard landscape, remember that there are four seasons. You will want flowers and shrubs which bloom during different times of the season, autumn foliage during the fall, and a structure that can withstand the winter.
Plan before you dig a water garden. Before you even start to think of digging to put in a water garden, make sure you plan everything in advance. Dimensions, the type of water garden you want to have, how deep it will need to be and if you need any permits to do so. If in doubt, call a professional out to help you. That's why they are there.
Get the right supplies for the job. Make sure you always get the exact right supplies you need for the job at hand. Don't skimp on quality when you are landscaping your backyard as you will pay dearly for it in the long run.
