"Poolscaping" for Your Florida Landscape Design


What feature takes a basic pool and makes it extraordinary? Landscaping around a pool design, or "poolscaping", is the ingredient that creates the essence of a backyard oasis. Tropical grottoes, elegant pool decks, and modern outdoor living are all achieved with the perfect landscape design. If your pool is lacking beauty or character, considered a free consultation with a landscaper to add the wow factor.

Poolscaping will often incorporate the following:

Privacy: Plants, hedges, and bushes create a natural screen while adding a beautiful transition to other areas of the property. Landscaping can be used as a visual screen, while also blocking unwanted noise.

Plants in Pots: Plants in pots are portable, create unity in the design, and clustered together give a natural feel. They will need to be watered regularly, as potted plants dry out quickly in sun and warm air.


Planters: These are permanently placed structures within the pool design that will contain plants. Planters can be elevated or can be flat and open, symmetrically or asymmetrically placed in the overall plan.

Lighting: Outdoor lights are for design beauty as well as functionality, creating a safe well-lit space at night. Low voltage lights of all styles and sizes extend the enjoyment hours of your poolscape.

We recommend and install pool landscaping plants such as evergreen trees and shrubs, long blooming flowers, and ornamental grasses. It is best to avoid plants in the pool design that drop a lot of debris such as fruit trees or others that lose leaves.  Poolscaping is the finishing touch of your Florida dream home.
