9 Pool Landscaping Design Ideas

So, if the construction of your concrete swimming pool has been completed and you have your new lifestyle, now is the perfect opportunity to take it to the next level. Landscaping your yard to enhance your swimming pool can be a fun process.

Whether you are after a formal look, Balinese or tropical resort look, or perhaps a natural billabong is more your style, the options are only limited by your imagination and budget.

9 Pool Landscaping Ideas

We have shared the top 9 swimming pool landscaping ideas to consider when planning for how your pool and yard will tie in as one cohesive space.

1. TROPICAL LANDSCAPING

Typically the plant selections for this style of garden include lush foliage found in the tropics, such as palm trees, magnolias, broad leafed plants and cordylines, with plenty of colour and flowers.

2. BILLABONG LANDSCAPING

Uses natural stone and rocks (or fake stone and rocks which look just like the real thing), ferns, native plants, leaves with different colourations.

3. FORMAL LANDSCAPING

The formal landscaping style is very neat and symmetrical, plants are well kept and pruned. Repetition of plant species is very common, as is the inclusion of flowers and colour.

4. PAVING

Natural stone paving is a simple way of merging your pool with your yard, although be aware that pavers tend to pick up dirt and grime so you’ll need to pressure wash them occasionally.

5. ROCKS

Whether real or fake, stones and rocks help create a natural and tropical space for the perfect outdoor escape.

6. SPA ISLANDS

If you have a bit of extra cash to play with, why not create the ultimate relaxation zone with a spa island. Enjoy your pool all year round with your own mini resort.

7. DAYBEDS

Achieve ultimate relaxation in the comfort of your home with some hotel style daybeds. Kick back with a good book or a drink with your own poolside haven.

8. GREENERY

Unless you’re going for a sterile, modern feel, lush gardens are a beautiful and elegant way to compliment your backyard’s main feature. Greenery also helps merge the different zones of your outdoor space. Try planting some shrubs, flowers or even a palm tree or two for a tropical paradise look.

9. BACKYARD ZONES

With some thoughtful design and clever landscaping, you can create multiple areas in your backyard all tied together with greenery and styling. Invest in a pool pavilion, a barbecue, a daybed – whatever suits your fancy! – and turn your yard into a unique, relaxing getaway from the everyday stresses of life.
