Are you looking for a way to upgrade the outdoor living space around your swimming pool and hot tub? Decorate your outdoor living space with plants. Plants can be a low cost and moveable way to upgrade the outdoor living space without completely re-landscaping the swimming pool space.
Little touches can have a big impact on the look and feel of the area where you relax poolside. Keep in mind that you will probably spend more time by the pool than you do in the pool. Even if you’re not swimming, you still want to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the swimming pool and strategic landscaping can help you realize that dream.
Pool owners in Arizona know they have to be thoughtful in choosing greenery that can withstand the triple digit, almost year round sun. Work with your pool contractors from Swim Right Pools to design a landscaping project that incorporates plant life into the theme and makes the time you spend out by the swimming pool beautiful and even more functional.

Greenery and landscaping will enhance the look of your swimming pool and can even give your desert pool a rainforest feel. Don’t forget to consider privacy issues when landscaping; if you have neighbors who are too close to your pool, make privacy a part of the overall landscaping process.
Landscaping poolside in Arizona.
- Choose plants that can take the heat. There are many that can withstand desert heat. Spend your landscaping dollars on plants that won’t wilt and that don’t require a lot of watering.
- Trees and plants that shed leaves and flowers in the water will add to the time you have to spend cleaning and skimming the swimming pool. Leaves and other plant debris can also clog the filter and skimmer basket.
- Insects are a nuisance and that is even more true when they’re invading your swimming pool space. Choose plants that are either non flowering or those that won’t lure bees to the pool. Avoid plants that are natural ant and bug “magnets.”
Your swimming pool contractor or landscaping professional will help you choose plants that are great for Arizona summers, don’t require a lot of water, won’t draw bugs to the pool and that won’t make pool maintenance more difficult.
