Pool Area Landscaping Ideas

Outdoor patiosMake your pool area an escape you’ll be proud to show off to your guests. This is easy to achieve with a just a little landscaping. Find some fresh ideas to revitalize your pool area below with anything from exotic palm trees to local plants and bushes.

Exotic Getaway

An exotic getaway might sound impossible in your own backyard, but with just a few landscaping changes, you will feel like you’re walking into a tropical resort every time you head out back for a dip. Palms, canna lilies, hostas, and hibiscus flowers all work together to create an exotic landscape your guests won’t easily forget. Try the Lord Baltimore Hibiscus for a perennial that will give you gorgeous red blooms all pool season long. Complete the look with brightly striped umbrellas and cushy lounge chairs. You might even feel a desire to add a little Tiki hut for towel storage and beverages.

Secret Garden

Our “Secret Garden” pool landscape creates the illusion that your pool magically appeared in the middle of a lush garden. Colorful grass borders incorporated with exuberant florals and mossy rocks bring the garden right up to the pool walkway. Adding climbing vines on pure white trellises and small flowering trees in jewel-toned pots. Now all you need is a few squirrels and hummingbirds to complete the effect!

Minimalist

Let the beauty of your pool speak for itself with minimalist details. A few potted bonsai with deck chairs and a colorful umbrella or two will accentuate the color and shape of your pool and highlight what you love best.

There are so many ways to landscape your pool area into the escape of your dreams. Plants immediately dress up any backyard into a beautiful oasis, and it’s so much easier to maintain that look with a good landscaping team.

Does Your Pool Need a Pool Deck?

Purposes of a Pool Deck

In your home’s backyard, you might have an oasis with a pool. This is your relaxation space, where you go to get some R&R. However, are you maximizing your use of this oasis? Are you taking advantage of the pool area fully? If you’re not sure, you may be interested in a pool deck.

Purposes of a Pool Deck

The first priority and purpose of a pool deck is that of safety. Consistently, pool decks act as a barrier for the clumsy family members or kiddos that want to go near the pool. A deck creates an extra spot of footing, and hopefully, less accidents.

On a lighter note, it is also a place to step out of the pool and have a place to dry off. A pool deck serves as an intermediary from the pool and the surrounding grass. On a deck, swimmers can both dry themselves off and prevent and water from being tracked inside the house. Let’s face it, a pool deck allows the swimmer a place to dry off without doing that within a clean home.

Questions to Ask Yourself

If you’re considering a pool deck for your DFW area pool, be sure to ask yourself the following relevant questions:

  • Does my pool need an added level of safety?
  • Do I need a place to dry off before going inside my home?
  • Do I want a place to tan in the sun without having to lay a towel down in the grass?

If you answered yes to any of these, it’s probably that time to invest in a pool deck. Day in and day out, the Blooms Landcare team installs pool decks around pool perimeters. We stress their importance, their value, and all their uses.
