Pool Landscaping
Specialized design and installation for pool areas.
Create Your Backyard Resort
A swimming pool is an investment. The landscape around it determines whether you get a backyard resort or just a hole with water.
We design and install pool landscapes that create the atmosphere you’re after — without the maintenance headaches.
The Pool Landscaping Challenge
Not Every Plant Belongs Poolside
Some plants drop flowers, leaves, or fruit that clog filters and stain surfaces. Others have invasive roots that damage pool structures. Many attract bees that make poolside lounging unpleasant.
We select plants specifically for pool proximity — lush tropical aesthetics without the cleanup problems.
Hardscape Matters
Pool decks need to be slip-resistant when wet, comfortable on bare feet in full sun, and durable enough to handle chlorinated water splashes. Material selection isn’t just about looks.
Privacy Without Claustrophobia
Most pool owners want screening from neighbors. But solid walls make spaces feel smaller and block breezes. We design layered planting that provides privacy while maintaining openness.
