Landscaping Turn your backyard into a poolside paradise by adding a touch of color to your poolscape. Renew your senses with flowering plants that bring nature within your reach. Or add shrubs and garden accents to create a secluded tropical getaway. Your landscape design can be as unique as you are. Whether you add palm trees and bamboo, oak trees or rose bushes, the effect is always the same: a backyard with personality. Ask your local nursery which plants are the best for your region. Once you know your choices, you should consider the following: - Trees and shrubs give your backyard height and depth.
- Make sure you know how big your plants will eventually become before you plant them.
- Large, color-coordinated flowers clusters are easy ways to impress.
- White flowers reflect moonlight, giving your garden a nighttime glow.
- Flowers are more than just their looks. They can also smell nice! Find the sweetest aroma you can, then plaster your backyard with the plant that produces it.
- Fences are a crucial part of pool security.

Decking Ideas Whether it's as simple as a concrete walkway or as elaborate as a marble frame, a deck can add splendor to your backyard. A deck can make your pool more comforatable and secure. When you add outdoor furniture to the mix, you'll find it easy to relocate any activity outside. A fence may also help secure your pool, preventing small children or animals from wandering into the pool area. |
