Poolside Landscaping Ideas for Perth Homes

A pool is often the centerpiece of a backyard, and the right landscaping can elevate its appearance while enhancing functionality. Here are some ideas to make your poolside area truly shine.

  1. Focus on Safety and Style

Safety is paramount when landscaping around a pool. Opt for non-slip surfaces and avoid plants that drop excessive debris into the water. At the same time, consider stylish options like decorative paving and elegant fencing.

Adding shade structures like pergolas or trees can make the pool area more comfortable during Perth’s hot summers. Pergolas are particularly versatile, offering space for lounging or dining.

Microclimates and Perth Garden Design

A good landscape design should work with the local conditions to make or build on a variety of microclimates.
