Using foliage, plants and other elements when landscaping around pools can help create a natural and inviting look that is bound to impress anyone. You can use a combination of these elements to give the space an alluring tropical feel as described in the video. Read on to find out how you can use landscaping elements to accentuate your pool area.
Choose the Right Plants and Foliage
There is no arguing that plants can make or break the appeal of your home’s swimming pool area. It is common to see a combination of plants around hotel swimming pools — demonstrating the appeal of these landscaping elements.
Simply put, you can increase the foot traffic around your home’s pool by adding some carefully chosen foliage and plants.
Flowering plants and lush greenery create a serene and relaxing scenery. With that in mind, it is important to take your time and choose the right plants for the space in question. For instance, if you are looking to give the space a relaxing coastal feel, different types of palm trees are a must-have. To add some color and variety, you can add some bottle brush trees, as well as other tropical staples like hibiscus and Hawaiian Thai plants, among others.
Ensure Continuity From Front to Back
The perfect landscaping around pools should provide continuity from the back to the front — and vice versa — of your home. The plants used to decorate the front of the house should closely resemble the variety around the pool at the back. Last but not least, proper maintenance is essential in keeping your home’s landscaping in perfect condition for as long as possible.
