Tips for Landscaping Around an Inground Pool

-


As a homeowner, there are few better ways to both increase your enjoyment of your property and its value in one fell swoop than with the careful addition of the right type of pool. Amoray Underwater LED Lights are sure to enhance the enjoyment of your pool or water feature after dark or lagoon. If you’re just embarking on the pool landscaping journey, you may be overwhelmed with options and ideas. But before you choose plants and other elements, it’s important to consider the function of your landscape design.

Spend some time thinking through the below before you landscape and you’ll be well prepared to begin:

Safety


If you have small kids and/or pets, or entertain often, safety is of prime importance. So you’ll want to consider fencing, slip-resistant surfaces, and lighting as key parts of your design.

Privacy

Is your backyard easily viewed by neighbors? If so, fences provide functional, but “pretty” landscaping. Other options include vines, shade structures, and larger, fuller trees.

Function


Easy pool entry for swimmers is always a consideration, so watch out for potential stumbling blocks like boulders, tree roots, and sharp edges. The need for good visibility will also dictate where you place landscape and pool lighting.

Aesthetics

Natural, tropical, ultra-modern are all “themes” that can be incorporated into your poolscape. Decide what look you’re going for, your pool’s shape and type, and go from there to select the plants, lighting, and extra elements that make your theme come alive.
Once you decide the best combination of form and function and the overall look you're going for, you're ready to select some landscaping components (that’s the really fun part).

Underwater Lighting

Just think about the atmosphere that will be created when you turn on those Underwater LED lights. Lights in or around your pool create a magical, ethereal glow that transforms your plain pool into a peaceful oasis at night. Whether you’re spending the night on the deck or patio or diving into the pool, there’s no cooler way to show off your yard than lighting up the night with green, blue or pink lights.
