Pool installation and landscaping

During pool installation, consider these landscaping factors

During any pool installation, it is always important to consider the surrounding landscaping.  The area around your pool can either detract or add to the beauty of your pool.  Depending upon where you live, one of your major concerns may be privacy or safety.  Landscaping can help with these by including trees, fences, walls and screens.  These can block the view of the pool and still be attractive and safe. Adding a fence and a safety gate is often one of the first things a homeowner does, especially if there is a chance that small children or pets may wander out to the pool area. 

Another consideration is adding other water features to both the pool and the surrounding landscape.  These may include fountains, sprays, and waterfalls.   There are many options for landscaping during pool installation in Charlotte NC.  Carolina Pool Plastering, one of Charlotte’s best pool companies can help with advice and design ideas.

Landscape design criteria during pool installation

The most important criteria when planning a pool landscape is balance, unity, proportion, and variety.  One of the most important of these is balance.  You can create a balanced look by placing focal points opposite each other.  Your pool or spa may serve as one focal point and a large tree or a gazebo with a bench as the other.   These create balance and unity within your landscape.  

It is also important to keep each of your landscaping features in proportion with each other.  It you have a large lot, you can break it up into distinct spaces with different plantings or walkways.  Using the right mix of plantings, along with bordered paths can create different intimate conversation areas.  At the same time, you can add variety to your landscape with different grades, textures, and colors.
