How would I decorate this area around the pool?
+7
I have lived here for over a year and this odd area around the pool has rocks and dirt in it. Does anyone have any ideas for what I can put there so it will look nice? I do not want plants as they will just drop leaves into the pool. Thank you in advance!
A beautiful rock, pot or statue. Or a combination. Or screed it with a contrasting but complimentary colour.
Karla....What about a large pots with plants..mums would be great right now and then you can take inside and bring out in the spring to have again next fall.
It looks like a perfect fire pit for roasting marshmellos with the kids.
Having grown up with a pool I can tell you that you'll do best having large pots of flowers so the chlorine doesn't kill them and dirt stays where it should.
I would plant bushes against the fence for year round greenery. Perhaps save the far corner for a sail shade and some seating around the pool.
"Garden art" as you collect and upcycle things will add interest and whimsy.
you could add a rock garden with succulents. Check out some of these ideas on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=rock%20garden%20with%20succulents&eq=rock%20garden%20with%20succ&etslf=8439&term_meta[]=rock%20garden%20with%20succulents%7Cautocomplete%7C0
clean out the area and add stone tile or concrete
Perhaps a nice pot of flowers is all it needs
I WOULD PUT A FOUNTAIN PIECE TO FLOW OVER INTO THE POOL SURROUNDED BY
HOSTA'S
I would concentrate on a garden in a containers ..scalloping flowers, chairs ,umbrellas https://www.pinterest.com/pin/638596422144763569/
