Every pool has a pool cleaning system, it doesnt stop the leaves from falling in and causing a problem. What sort of pool cleaning system is it?

Ryan it does not cause a problem. We do not have this problem on any of the pools or gardens we put in. Thanks for your comments

We buy direct from nurseries and growers. Unless you are a landscaping business you will not be able to go to these suppliers. You could try Mr Bamboo and your local garden centre.

Get the pool designed by a Landscape Architect or Designer and they can see your site and design the most appropriate structure and surrounds.

This pool is formed concrete which was done on site by the builder.

Bamboo does shed leaves so you would need to make a provision for this if you are planning on using it in your garden. Can you explain what you mean by childish winters?

The pool is designed as a lap pool so has the necessary depth required for diving etc. It is 1.3 metres on the outside.

They are uplights. Most electricians would be familiar with this.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Annie Thornton added this to Garden Tour: Three Levels of Outdoor Living
For privacy, Cantwell planted a row of Slender Weavers Bamboo alongside the pool. Its lithe silhouette and feathery foliage complement and soften the minimal geometry of the pool and surrounding structures.

What Houzzers are commenting on:

everdebz added this to bamboo
bamboo Slender weaver/ Giant Mondo at base [Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Nana’] possibly shady, grass-like / pool formed concrete on site/ Hunza lighting
