Pool Landscaping , Yards and Plants

What grows around the pool is very important. When pool service is required, a well manicured and maintained surrounding is better for keeping the pool clean. The one bidding the job looks at the yard to see if there are any deciduous trees that overlap the pool, also messy bushes such as oleander and palm trees that are near the water. These plants look nice but add to the maintenance of the pool. The new trend are desert climate materials, cacti and low water use plants. Gravel and rocks offer a nice look! With ones imagination and planning, the environment around the pool can be pleasant and beautiful. Remember that a messy yard leads to a dirty pool. If you do your own cleaning there is more work to do and if you have service the cost will be more. A nice environment offers a serene and pleasant time in and around the pool.

The Kaufman Desert house designed by Richard Nuetra, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. A beautiful structure that has an emphasis on horizontal lines with over hangings that seem to float. Nice landscaping for the desert climate.
