Here are some good backyard pool landscape ideas regarding what plants to use and where to place them. Bring plantings such as flowering shrubs and perennials right up to the pool paving. Planting beds do not have to be around the pool entirely, but they should be designed and located so as to create balance. Add a few large planting beds broken up by lawn. So you might have a bed, then some lawn, then another bed, and so on. Try to make the beds unequal in size for interest.

You can mix in evergreen and flowering deciduous shrubs. The evergreen shrubs will provide interest when viewing the area in the winter. The flowering shrubs will provide color in the summer when you are enjoying your swimming pool landscape.Plant in groups. Seven flowering shrubs will make a more exciting picture than two or three.Perennials will give lots of color also. You can select low maintenance perennials so that you can enjoy your swimming pool design and not be constantly tending to the plants!

I would suggest including some broadleaf evergreen shrubs in your pool landscape design also. However, many of these require some shade. Often pools are located in sunny areas. If you do have some shady areas, include some broadleaf evergreen shrubs, such as Rhododendron, Cherry Laurel, Mountain Laurel and Japanese Andromeda. There is a nice evergreen shrub that will take sun or shade and that is Blue Holly. It does not flower, but it does provide wonderful red berries in the Fall.

Consider adding a few flowering and ornamental trees to your pool landscape design. They will add color and interest. In addition, they will provide height and scale to the project. A swimming pool is large and you need some garden trees to make it feel it belongs in the landscape.

Pool spas can either be part of the swimming pool or can be located in a separate area. Here, the spa was designed for easy access, set with steps on either side. Alternatively, spas can be set in the deeper end and also be a waterfall, with water flowing from the spa into the pool.
