Pool Landscaping
Ideas for Pool Landscaping
When you’ve decided to take your backyard to the next level by adding a pool, the best way to maximize your enjoyment of it—even when you’re not swimming—is to incorporate it into the overall design of your landscape. Here are some fun ways to make your pool feature a bigger part of your outdoor living area:
- Heat things up: Including a spa or jacuzzi to your pool is a simple add that extends the use of your pool, particularly when temperatures drop. A spa area will provide places to sit and socialize or even just relax alone with the jets running after a long day. The pressure is off to do those laps; instead, sit back and enjoy!
- Make a splash: A water feature such as spillover edges, jets, a rock waterfall, or bubblers can turn your pool landscaping into a focal point in your yard while adding soothing white noise to the ambiance. Water features are a great way to recirculate the water, contributing to the cleanliness and health of your pool, too.
- Take your time: No need to cannonball into your pool if that’s not your speed. Pools can be designed with zero-entries for all abilities, benches, and tanning ledges that allow you to enjoy the water without committing to getting wet all at once.
- Light a fire: There is something about combining fire and water to make a very dramatic effect in your backyard living space and pool landscaping. To boot, fire adds warmth and a cozy aesthetic year-round. A wood-burning or gas fire pit can complement and add a stunning effect poolside or even be found at the center of a sitting area inside the pool.
- Level it out: Comfortable hardscapes can make all the difference, especially where kids and adults alike may be walking without shoes. Select a paving or deck material that complements the architecture of your home and pool landscaping that is also smooth enough to walk on.
- Soften your scape: Choosing the right plants is a must for completing the look you want for your pool landscaping. Is it a tropical oasis or a mirage in the middle of a dry desert? Let your local landscape professional help create your design aesthetic and choose appropriate plants to beautify your pool area landscaping.
- Trick it out: With the right accessories, you can take your pool from “place to swim” to “party central.” LED lighting options, temperature control systems, automatic safety covers, and efficient pool filtration and sanitizing systems will help make your pool easier to maintain, leaving you more time to enjoy a swim or even just the pool’s landscaping.
I have used SB evolution landscape for 2 years, since purchase of my first home. I am very pleased with their service, from routine maintenance to clearing an entire hillside and planting a series of hydrangeas in a shady spot for me, as they are my favorite flower. They are very responsive to emails and phone calls and have given me a bouquet of flowers on completion of both bigger projects. Plus, my roses, orange trees, bamboo, callalillies, begonia and all other plants are so much healthier than when I purchased this property. Thank you Evolution!

I was very impressed with the prompt, professional service from this company. Jorge showed up to go over the tree trimming project, made helpful suggestions and answered all my questions. The team that arrived to do the project was friendly, efficient and cleaned up all the debris spotlessly. I am very pleased with the customer service and high quality of the work of this company. Thank you, SB Evolution Landscape!
