The ideal pool landscape design will flow with the
architecture of your home and the rest of your
landscape. When you first start collecting ideas for
what you want your pool-side landscape to look like,
take note of the patterns of straight lines and curves in
your house and any nearby garden structures.
Continuity of color and texture also helps. Keep in
mind the colors of the house and its surroundings. It
usually looks better and makes designing easier if you
choose one color scheme and stick to it, rather than
dabbing a little color here and a little there and ending
up with a something that looks like an Art Deco
experiment gone wrong. Don’t wait until the pool is
already installed to consult a landscaper—talking with
a landscape architect early in the process, before you’
ve installed any permanent structures or planted any
expensive trees or shrubs, can save you from costly
mistakes.
