As the weather warms here in the Valley of the Sun, the prime growing season approaches. Spring is the best time of the year here to get your plants in the ground and well-situated before the harsh summer weather hits. Poolside landscaping offers a way to add a pop of color and texture, while cooling down by the pool.

If you are in need of pool landscape design ideas, then we’ve got information for you.

Plant Considerations
When dreaming up pool landscape design ideas, you’ll want to consider certain factors to avoid setting yourself up for more work in keeping your pool clear of debris and plant matter. Other considerations when selecting plants for poolside landscaping include:

• Ease of maintenance
• Privacy offering
• Safety for pets and humans
• Size and space available
• Variety of plant life
• Color, texture, balance

At Creative Environments, we are big fans of including a diverse range of plant life for visual variety. Succulents, ornamental grasses, vines, and trees make great options in addition to sweet smelling shrubs.
