Sometimes, it seems like inground pools get all the love.
These pools are often deemed as fancy and get lots of special landscaping
attention. Above ground pools, on the other hand, are often just placed in the
back yard without much fanfare. However, when you own your own above ground
pool, you can change all that! These pools can look just as fancy and exotic as
their inground counterparts, especially when you’re not afraid to get creative
with the landscaping.
Rock it Out
Various types of rock added in around your above ground pool
can make for an affordable but beautiful landscaping option. You can go with
gravel, stone, or even polished, pretty rocks for a natural and charming look
to your pool. And, as an added bonus, this affordable decorating option will
also keep the weeds at bay, so rocks are a total win-win.
Go Green
Another clever way to landscape your pool is by adding in
hedges, shrubs, or just your favorite taller flowers or bushes. If you plant
them around your pool in early spring, they should look great come summer.
Greenery is cheap, natural, and adds some privacy to your pool. The only
downside is that some greenery can attract bugs, so you’ll have to be careful
about the exact plants you choose.
Capture that Beachy Feel
Finally, if you truly want a unique landscaping idea, why
not turn your pool into your own private “beach?” Sand, like the other options
presented here, is affordable and natural, and you can add as much of it as you
want around your pool area. Throw in a couple of umbrellas, and you’ll truly
feel like you’re at the beach every time you step into your yard.
With so many great options for making your above ground pool
stand out, what are you waiting for? Start exploring these and other
landscaping possibilities today so that your pool can look great all summer
long!
