There are a few things to bear in mind when landscaping a pool. Before planting anything, you should check to make sure that none of the plants will drop any flowers or leaves into the water. Not only could this be unsightly, but it could also clog the filter and/or pose a slipping danger. Your pool area's exposure to light and shade throughout the day should be taken into account as well. Based on this, you can choose the plants that thrive in your environment. Finally, you should pick vegetation that blends in with the design of your house and pool area. You can design a lovely and useful environment to go around your pool with a little forethought.
