Backyard landscaping pools
Unique Pool Landscaping Ideas – Forbes Home
There is nothing wrong with keeping your pool landscaping simple. But if you want a true oasis, turn to pool landscaping ideas that will help take your backyard to the next level. For truly gorgeous pool landscaping, dream bigger than a concrete walkway around the water. Instead imagine aromatic flowers, upgraded pavers, inviting seating areas and great lighting that will allow you to enjoy this close-to-home escape well into the night.
After all, “landscaping” doesn’t just describe greenery and rocks. For complete pool landscaping, aim to blend a combination of hardscaping and softscaping elements. By incorporating natural components, your pool will feel more like a true paradise than a concrete water pit.
1. Surround One Side of the Pool With Jungle-Inspired Plants

By incorporating lush plants around the perimeter of your pool, you’ll create a space that has you questioning if you’re in your backyard or on a tropical vacation. Finding the best varieties to plant will depend on your actual climate, but even pool owners in areas of the country that require hardier plants can get the same aesthetic with ferns, hostas and hibiscus. Some palms can even tolerate sub-zero temperatures.
2. Build a Rock Wall Along a Portion of the Pool

You can really enhance your pool’s landscaping by adding some elevated boulders around its edge. For the most custom look, rock can be incorporated directly into the design of the pool during construction. But even if you are retrofitting your landscaping to an existing pool, you can tap into this idea with both real or artificial boulders—including some that offer built-in speakers.
3. Add Built-In Planters for a Resort-Like Effect

Give you softscaping a focal point with eye-catching planters that are built directly into your landscaping. Great for showcasing blooming flowers, shrubs or even trees, built-in planters add an instant wow factor to your pool landscaping.
4. Create a Shaded Lounging Space

You’ll have it made in the shade with a poolside cabana space. The easiest and most inexpensive option is to add a sail shade and some lounging chairs. Or build a complete open-air pool house for an experience that tops many 5-star resorts.
5. Expand the Pool Decking Space with Xeriscaping
Getty
With pool landscaping, one of the biggest expenses is also one of the most essential expenses: Building or renovating a pool deck using stamped pavers costs an average of $7,000. By adding xeriscaping elements around a more narrow pool deck, you may be able to minimize costs while maximizing the Palm Springs-like vibe.
6. Space Out Concrete Pavers With Grass in Between

Sink your toes into some lush grass while adding some visual intrigue around your pool by adding a few inches of turf between concrete pavers around your pool. A look that is simultaneously modern and classic, this is a great pool landscaping idea to consider if you are redoing your pool decking.
7. Add a Raised Wooden Deck
Getty
Mixing materials for the pool decking space is a perfect way to add some interesting design elements to your pool landscaping. Adding a slightly elevated floating wood deck next to the pool is a good way to give the illusion of additional space. Add a patio table for the perfect poolside dining space.
8. Build a Waterfall Feature for a Tropical Escape
Getty
Adding a waterfall feature is a guaranteed way to make your pool landscaping feel more glamorous—and the project may not be as expensive as you would assume. On average, homeowners around the country can expect to pay $1,500 for a 12-foot, professionally installed rock waterfall.
9. Plant Flowers with Your Senses in Mind
Getty
Spending some time around the pool can be a complete sensory experience if you add aromatic blooms to the pool landscape design. With a microclimate of its own, you’ll want to do some research before planting new flowers or shrubs around your pool.
However, some relatively safe bets for most climates include lavender and geraniums. Or grow your favorite flowers in pots to help extend the season.

10. Lounge into the Evening with a Built-In Firepit
Getty
If the pool is the go-to social gathering space for your house, create a more inviting evening hangout with a built-in firepit added to the poolside landscaping.
It costs an average of $300 to $1,400 to have a propane-burning fire pit professionally installed, but can create some priceless entertaining experiences.
11. Mix Up Some Drinks at a Poolside Bar
Getty
If you are building a pool, a swim-up bar can be included in the design. Or, if you are adding to your existing pool landscaping, consider building a freestanding combo bar and grilling space for the best dinner parties. And once you have the bar installed, all you need to find is someone willing to make the drinks.
12. Build Seating into the Hardscaping
Getty
Give people a seat at your next pool party with built-in benches around the pool decking or in the backyard area. An easy addition to any space where you need a retaining wall, the seating can make the whole pool landscaping feel more inviting, especially if you add some outdoor pillows or cushions.
13. Light It Up With Professionally Installed Lighting
Getty
A worthy upgrade to string lights or tiki torches, professionally installed lighting around your pool space will add some functional luxury to the landscaping.
Whether you are building any poolside structures or simply need to add lighting, custom lighting can set your landscaping apart.
14. Go Minimalist for a Modern Aesthetic
Getty
With clean lines, a narrow pool deck and manicured turf, your pool landscaping can shine—without feeling fussy. This keeps the focus on the pool and lounging without requiring too much additional landscaping maintenance.
15. Upgrade the Pool Fencing
Getty
Even though pool fencing is first and foremost a matter of safety, that doesn’t mean it can’t also look great. Consider your overall landscaping style while selecting the best fencing for your pool space so that you can add to the aesthetic rather than distract from it.

Pool landscaping ideas: The best materials to use in and around a backyard pool
(Image credit: Breegan Jane)
Good pool landscaping ideas need careful thought, planning and preparation.
But worry not. We break down all you need to know about the different types of pool landscaping, from pool landscaping with rocks to pool ideas for privacy and shade.
The materials used – from paving, aggregates and decking, to decorative edging and the hard materials employed for in-ground pools – add texture and character to a backyard pool garden, marking out the structure and leading the eye through to the swimming pool and beyond.
The best time to undertake a pool landscape redesign is in winter, when the backyard is dormant. But the summer months are the time to analyze the ways in which you use the space and to understand what you need from your future design.
These backyard ideas will help you find the best ways to landscape around a pool and explain what you need to consider before you begin.
Pool landscaping ideas
From putting greens to privacy, these landscaping ideas add major value (and fun) to your pool area.
1. Plant on an island
(Image credit: Brittany Farinas, House of One / Lifestyle Production Group)
Your pool landscaping ideas don't have to be relegated to the sides of the pool. For an original idea that evokes a tropical resort, bring the vegetation into the pool by stationing it on an island structure right in the middle of water, like at this Florida home by Brittany Farinas of House of One Interiors . Want to go full paradise vibes? Use palms.
2. Use lighting to enhance the landscape
(Image credit: Designer: The Fox Group Photographer: Lindsay Salazar)
Lighting is the perfect complement to pool landscaping. It can emphasize certain features (try uplighting shrubs and trees) and enhance the overall ambience of a newly landscaped space.
String lights are a pool lighting idea that's more about form than function, but the ambience a set of bistro lights will add to your pool area is second to none.
If you're lucky enough to have a pool house, use it as an anchor point for your string lights, and stretch them above the length of the pool, like The Fox Group did, above.
No pool house? Try filling the bottom of whisky barrel planters with cement, then inserting a wooden post to create a semi-permanent anchor point for lights. Don't forget to finish off the planters with soil and your favorite annuals.
3. Use planters to add personal style

Both your planters and the plants you put in them are a chance to add your personal style to your pool patio ideas.
'We like to include banana leaf trees and orchids to add a touch of nature, and high-design planters can be a creative way to show off one’s own personal style,' says Lance Thomas of Louisiana-based Thomas Guy Interiors . Above, Thomas chose organic planters and unstructured ferns to complement the contemporary, minimalist pool design.
4. Include a putting green
(Image credit: Breegan Jane)
Your pool landscaping ideas can offer more than just beauty and a bit of shade. Add recreation to the list by installing a putting green adjacent to your pool patio, like interior designer Breegan Jane did at her client's Southern California home, where the goal of the outdoor space was to 'surprise and delight.
'
5. Use landscaping for privacy
(Image credit: Brittany Farinas, House of One Interiors / Lifestyle Production Group)
Looking for a pool fence idea that adds privacy and beauty? Your landscaping can do the job if you plant high trees or bushy shrubs around the perimeter of your pool or property, a la this Florida property.
Another idea we love from this photo? The cabana. When you're brainstorming your landscaping and pool area ideas, don't forget to include a shady spot to retreat to when you're tired of sunbathing.
6. Invest in LED lighting around a pool
(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton )
When considering pool landscaping, smart pool lighting ideas certainly have their part to play. A well-planned lighting scheme can do wonders for your backyard pool and shouldn't be an afterthought.
'For small cascades and fountains, direct underwater spotlights onto the plinth of flowing water, or run a color-changing LED strip along the rill from which the water emerges,' suggests Sally Storey, lighting director at John Cullen.
An impressive backyard pool is hugely enhanced when illuminated at night. Underwater lights can be halogen, LED or fiber optic, but they must be encased in waterproof, IP-rated fixtures.
Alternatively, solar garden lighting ideas, such as bulbs hidden in between evergreens or in containers create a soft glow.
7. Pick the perfect pool deck landscaping
(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton Photography)
Poolside deck ideas provide versatile and cost-effective ways to extend your living area into the outdoors. What's more, decking creates the perfect focal point for a low-maintenance yard, and is cheaper and easier to use than paving.
At its best, a sturdy, water-resistant timber deck is a handsome, hard-wearing pool area idea that complements most backyard pool settings.
But decks don’t only look good: other advantages include being relatively lightweight in comparison to stone, quick and easy to install and forgiving. Plus, timber can be cut to size to fit perfectly round awkward corners – perfect if you don't have a rectangular pool.
8. Add shade and privacy with ivy
(Image credit: Future / Armelle Habib)
In an ideal world our pool areas would be private sanctuaries where we could swim, entertain and relax away from prying eyes.
Yet, for many pool owners, the reality is quite different. Spending time outdoors can be like living in a goldfish bowl because there is nothing to screen their backyard pool from neighboring windows.
Smart garden shade ideas are great if you want to shield your pool area from the neighborhood and create shady coverage at the same time. A good place to start is with your pool fence or property boundary.
If you have an existing fence or trellis, plant ivy near the base to create a living privacy wall. No fence? Plant a deciduous hedge, or trail ivy up a wall using a trellis.
9. Landscape with rocks, trees and overgrown grasses
(Image credit: Future / © Roy Westwood)
If you are not one for a traditional pool area, then consider a more natural landscape for your outdoor swim.
Today’s natural pools – or swimming ponds as they are often known – are welcomed into the border garden, whether in a formal setting of lawns, surrounded by flowers and grasses, or even made to look like a natural garden pond.
For a rugged appearance, take inspiration from creative rock garden ideas and lay down plenty of misshapen rocks, pebbles and limestone. The main highlight of a rock garden is the quiet, zen-like aesthetic they add to your backyard.
10. Highlight a rectangular pool with flower beds and borders
(Image credit: Future / Alistair Nicholls)
Whether you like raised garden bed ideas or you prefer planting straight into the ground, flower beds can make exceptional dividers for a garden path around a backyard pool.
This is especially the case when you bring tall, architectural plants into the mix. This smart garden path idea is a beautiful way to establish the boundary of a walkway and to zone off your pool area from the rest of the garden.
What's more, it will continue to offer color and structure throughout the seasons, even when the pool is not in use.
11. Set up a seating area around the pool
(Image credit: Future / Mark Bolton)
When considering pool patio ideas and other hard landscaping materials for a pool, your first priority will be to establish the functional spaces, from terraces and patios, to paths and borders around the swimming pool.
The expanse of an area and its use will dictate which materials are most suitable.
For instance, a hard standing for a table and chairs needs to be flat and stable, and you might want to keep granular aggregates, such as gravel or bark, away from the pool so they are not carried into the water.
12. Install a non-slip surface
(Image credit: Future / Polly Eltes)
While a pebble-dashed floor isn't entirely non-slip, it is certainly a less slippery option in comparison to stone slabs, pavers and decking.
Opt for an entirely smooth surface to avoid any nasty cuts on the feet and if your pool is indoors, be sure to include a professional drainage system.
Proper drainage will ensure that the water in your in-ground pool remains clean and protects your surrounding yard, deck, patio, landscaping, and home from possible water damage, erosion, and debris.
Plus, no one wants to be constantly mopping up water.
13. Landscape around a pool with grass
(Image credit: Kimberley Harrison / Kathryn MacDonald)
Your lawn serves as a huge source of air conditioning for your garden and also releases oxygen and simultaneously captures dust, keeping you and your family healthy, so it's a perfect option for near a pool area.
To reap the many benefits to the full, keep your lawn as healthy as possible and your lawn pays you back for all the work you put into it.
What’s more, your lawn needs plenty of water to encourage the roots to grow deep into the ground, and the best way to achieve this is to water deep. Try to water heavily, on an infrequent basis.
Plus, you’ll want to make sure the chlorine from the pool doesn’t sit on top for too long.
14. Use concrete as a modern alternative to stone slabs
(Image credit: Future / Matthew Williams)
Lusting after a modern industrial landscape? Durable, easy to clean and heat-retaining, there’s a lot to love about concrete flooring in a modern backyard.
Perfect for nailing the urban trend, it works best in contemporary spaces, but can also be mixed with plenty of greenery and colored foliage for a striking contrast.
While the use of concrete has become commonplace, it was once seen as an inferior material in comparison to stone. But if we can forget about it as a cheap substitute we discover that it has its own intrinsic qualities, as interesting as natural materials and very much more versatile.
Concrete is quite simply a blend of aggregates – sand and gravel or crushed stone – bonded together in a dense, stone-like mass by hardened cement.
This material has made possible incredible structures and surfaces. It is the cement that gives concrete its dull-gray appearance, and so the secret with in-situ garden paving is to remove the cement from the surface before it sets.
15. Mix materials around a pool
(Image credit: Belgard)
Large patio pavers have been gaining popularity in California in recent years, and it is easy to see why.
If you're wondering how to make your garden feel more modern without embarking on an overly expensive redesign, then you should seriously consider employing oversized patio pavers for the landscaping around your pool.
As far as backyard landscaping ideas go, large pavers are the opposite of discreet and that's exactly why we're seeing more of them in outdoor paving designs.
Bold and immediately noticeable, oversized paving slabs create an instant indoor-outdoor effect, because they emit the luxury look of indoor tiles – just outdoors.
What is best to put around a pool?
(Image credit: Future / Jody Stewart)
Paving slabs are one of the most common garden materials for landscaping around a pool. Paving or pavers are readily available as individual blocks, in a wide range of shapes, colors and sizes that can be laid in several pattern configurations.
You can also buy specialist kits, such as circles, for patios.
Mostly made from pre-cast concrete or reconstituted stone, pavers can also be used for garden paths, terraces, steps and patios. They are also ideal for adding a large expanse in the same color/material. A matching path and patio area can be used to lead the eye through the garden or to an adjacent pool house.
What's more, pavers are mostly affordable, readily available and fairly straightforward to lay. Small pavers can be teased into curves, tight corners and organic shapes, and there are a good selection of edgings and borders available to complete the look.
Be aware that large pavers will need cutting. Tailor your design to limit the number of cuts at planning stage, and hire a slab and walling block splitter to ensure a neat job.

Exterior02 contacted by a family named Pesek who lived near Memorial Drive on the West side of Houston. They lived in a stately home built in the late 1950's. Many years back, they had contracted a local pool company to install an old lagoon-style pool, which they had since grown tired of. When they initially called us, they wanted to know if we could build them an outdoor room at the far end of the swimming pool. We scheduled a free consultation at a time convenient to them, and we drove out to their residence to take a look at the property.
After a quick survey of the back yard, rear of the home, and the swimming pool, we determined that building an outdoor room as an addition to their existing landscaping design would not bring them the results they expected. The pool was visibly dated with an early “70’s” look, which not only clashed with the late 50’s style of home architecture, but guaranteed an even greater clash with any modern-style outdoor room we constructed. Luckily for the Peseks, we offered an even better landscaping plan than the one they had hoped for. We proposed the construction of a new outdoor room and an entirely new swimming pool. Both of these new structures would be built around the classical geometry of proportional right angles. This would allow a very modern design to compliment an older home, because basic geometric patterns are universal in many architectural designs used throughout history. In this case, both the swimming pool and the outdoor rooms were designed as interrelated quadrilateral forms with proportional right angles that created the illusion of lengthened distance and a sense of Classical elegance.
This proved a perfect complement to a house that had originally been built as a symbolic emblem of a simpler, more rugged and absolute era. Though reminiscent of classical design and complimentary to the conservative design of the home, the interior of the outdoor room was ultra-modern in its array of comfort and convenience. The Peseks felt this would be a great place to hold birthday parties for their child. With this new outdoor room, the Peseks could take the party outside at any time of day or night, and at any time of year. We also built the structure to be fully functional as an outdoor kitchen as well as an outdoor entertainment area. There was a smoker, a refrigerator, an ice maker, and a water heater—all intended to eliminate any need to return to the house once the party began. Seating and entertainment systems were also added to provide state of the art fun for adults and children alike. We installed a flat-screen plasma TV, and we wired it for cable. The swimming pool was built between the outdoor room and the rear entrance to the house.
We got rid of the old lagoon-pool design which geometrically clashed with the right angles of the house and outdoor room. We then had a completely new pool built, in the shape of a rectangle, with a rather innovative coping design. We showcased the pool with a coping that rose perpendicular to the ground out of the stone patio surface. This reinforced our blend of contemporary look with classical right angles. We saved the client an enormous amount of money on travertine by setting the coping so that it does not overhang with the tile. Because the ground between the house and the outdoor room gradually dropped in grade, we used the natural slope of the ground to create another perpendicular right angle at the end of the pool. Here, we installed a waterfall which spilled over into a heated spa. Although the spa was fed from within itself, it was built to look as though water was coming from within the pool. The ultimate result of all of this is a new sense of visual “ebb and flow,” so to speak.
When Mr. Pesek sits in his couch facing his house, the earth appears to rise up first into an illuminated pool which leads the way up the steps to his home. When he sits in his spa facing the other direction, the earth rises up like a doorway to his outdoor room, where he can comfortably relax in the water while he watches TV.

Many homeowners know that there is nothing more relaxing on a summer day than diving into the backyard pool after a day at work, spending a couple of hours with the kids on the weekends and enjoying a game of pool or just lying on the lawn with a cold drink and a good book.
Many people love to have a pool in their backyard, but having one seems impossible due to the small open space. What will work best in your small backyard? There are many ways to enjoy amazing time on the yard, and a pool is a good idea as it can be installed almost anywhere, just a little bit of imagination. What's more, you can do it at a minimal cost. Sounds great, doesn't it! nine0003
Swimming pools are one of the best ideas to save space and give your home an exotic look. They are limited in size, they can be customized with water features such as waterfalls, water jets, lighting, an attractive fence that can be installed to make the patio or backyard look welcoming and protected at the same time.
Planting ideas for small pools.
Small design ideas for small pools look intriguing despite their small size. If you haven't heard of this interior, you may be wondering what it is? This is a swimming pool or small pool, usually filled with cold water and often used after a sauna or hot tub.
A typical small pool designed for relaxation, not swimming. You won't play volleyball or swim comfortably in a pool, but if you want to relax on a hot day and take a dip in cool water, this type of pool is a good option. nine0003 Pools and sun lounger ideas.
There is some confusion between the small pool and the hot tub, probably due to the small size. However, the main difference between a pool and a hot tub is the temperature of the water. Hot tubs, as we all know, are filled with hot water while submerged pools are filled with cold water. Sometimes both are designed and built together if the available space allows it and if the homeowner wants to use both hot and cold water. nine0007
Pros and cons of small pools.
The growing demand for plunge pools is leading to an increase in the number of creative and original small pools that are perfectly matched in small backyards and create a fantastic atmosphere. These pools offer a number of benefits and the biggest one is space saving as they don't take up much space.
In terms of health benefits, immersion in cold water after a workout or after a sauna is practiced by many athletes, and the cooling effect of water has been valued since ancient times. Another important advantage of these pools is that they require less water due to their small size. This means you will have less water consumption and lower operating costs overall. In terms of design, the options are plentiful and vary in shape, size and style, so every homeowner will find the perfect pool for their small backyard. The low cost is advantageous as the small size does not require a significant investment. The classic plunge pool does not require a pool water heating system, another savings in maintenance costs. nine0007
Unique ideas for interesting pools - disadvantages.
On the other hand, this is the type of pool where the whole family can't enjoy pool games and activities together. In the small pool you can't swim or play water volleyball. Mounting the springboard is almost impossible.
Why choose a small pool - advantages.
There are many reasons why people choose a small pool, and each has a different motivation. They are very suitable for long and narrow areas and are a great way to use the available space in a small garden. nine0007
Small pool design, tropical interior.
A small pool can take up all the available space in the courtyard. Small diameter pools are certainly not suitable for entertainment, but they provide a refreshing cool down on a hot day or meeting place. Not convinced? Let's weigh the benefits of small pools. Affordable price and low maintenance costs. Pools can be heated quickly, and due to their small size, the cost of heating will be significantly less than heating a full size pool. nine0003
Ideas for small pools.
In terms of visual appeal, plunge pools are easy to place. When the water feature and ambient lighting are added, the overall look is exceptionally attractive and the submerged pool easily becomes a focal point in the garden.
