Pool Landscaping Design

Pool landscaping design isn't solely about the shape and size of your pool.

If you are lucky enough to have a backyard pool, why not dress it up a little bit and make it the centre of your yards attention.

Pool furniture is the most obvious way to add a splash to your pool area. Accessories like candle, statues, pillows and potted plants are also very important to the look of your pool area.

If your pool is out in the open, you might consider covering it with a canopy. This is not only a practical idea, but it looks good as well.

Anyone with a pool will know that having storage in the pool area is a live saver. Having somewhere to hang your clothes, towels and even store the chemicals and equipment it takes to keep the pool clean.

There are many things you can do to add a little extra umpf to your pool landscaping design.

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.
