From Modern to Rustic or maybe an island retreat or Mediterranean villa. Swimming Pool Landscaping can transform the most basic pool and patio into an absolute oasis. Koch Kuts can work with you to develop a project that once complete gives the “wow” factor that you want for your yard
Consider the following simple principles of pool landscaping:
- Making use of Potted plants can transform a plain patio area without the need to install a garden bed. Repeal mosquitoes by planting citronella plants in your pots. These are low maintenance plants that have become a favorite due to their citrus scent and inspect repelling properties. Some other mosquito repealing plants include lemongrass, rosemary, marigolds and basil.
- Planning on using your pool during the nighttime? Add lighting into your landscaping. Solar lights, lighted fountains and tiki torches will all provide a captivating glow during the nighttime hours.
- Tall ornamental Grasses or evergreens along a fence or perimeter can give you extra privacy and are low maintenance. Beware of deciduous or fruit trees that can cause damage or hours of extra maintenance from the falling leaves
- Limit or eliminate grass close to your pool. Not having to worry about grass clippings while performing lawn maintenance will give you extra time to enjoy the oasis that you have created.
