Pools & Spas Landscape Design Design Dilemma

pool landscaping

6 years ago

I am looking for ideas to add some landscaping around my pool. I really like the clean look of a boxwood hedge. I live in south Louisiana. We have Savannah holly trees lining the fence that have grown some since this picture was taken. Thanks in advance

You will however want to avoid plants with small parts that will get sucked into the filtration system any time they get onto the water and float around.

You could plant hedges at the corners of the pool farthest from the house. Tropicals do so well in your area that you should consider them too.
