While a pool adds a special visual interest all its own to your yard, there is no reason not to enhance the effect with some smart poolside landscaping. Here are just a few suggestions for accomplishing this goal:
- Include a Waterfall – What better way to add visual interest to a static water feature than by including some moving water? In addition to the visual interest, the waterfall adds a soothing audio effect also.
- Add a Fire Element – For a more contrasting effect, add tiki torches, a fire pit or some other element that incorporates fire. The heat from the fire is also a nice counterpoint to the cooling effects of the water and vice-versa.
- Include Nature in the Design – Provide some natural shade with trees and shrubs while beautifying the area around the pool with flowers. Ensure that there is some distance between pool and plants, however, as most don’t tolerate the “conditioned’ water of the pool very well.
