Great pool landscaping requires much forethought. It is important to figure out in advance not just which plants and flowers will best suit your pool environment, but multiple other things, as well. Here are some things that you should consider when planning out your pool landscaping – remember, it is not only about the plants:

• Privacy – trees, fences, and screens can be very useful for keeping your pool area private. Incorporating these into your overall landscaping plan will keep your pool and its bathers away from the prying eyes of neighbors and passersbys.
• Debris – while trees can be great for privacy reasons, they can lead to excess debris in the pool. Make sure that when you plant trees or other plants, you consider the leaves they may shed or other debris they may be the cause of. Try to keep this debris away from and out of the pool. A cover is key.
• Safety – a fence is not simply great for privacy, but to keep children, pets, and neighbors out of the pool. For safety measures, you do not want anyone to be able to access the pool unsupervised. Proper lighting is also a safety feature.
• Lighting – it is great for safety, and it is also great for setting the mood. Pool lighting, both underwater and floating lights, can be great for nighttime BBQs and parties, even if no one is swimming. Lighting up nearby trees and casting shadows, et-cetera, can make night-swimming a more mystical, beautiful experience.

These are just a few of the things that you should consider in addition to foliage when mapping out the plans for your pool landscaping.
