I would plant hosta all the way around the pool. When the hosta grows, it will look like a necklace!Helpful Reply -

Build a deck around it. Then, plant shrubs below the deck to camouflage the structure below.Helpful Reply -

Plants around bottom of pool would work but would recommed river bed stone. Easier to cut and trim around. A small deck to access pool ( large enough for couple lawn chairs ) finished with 3/4 privacy lattice at base. Hinged so pool accessories can be stored. Add to and recess patio stone walk way maybe replace with decorative field stone.Helpful Reply -

If you want quick and cheap - cable tie green shade net to the pool frame, then surround with pots and plant with soft plants. Use one pot as a stepping stone. The shade net disguises the pool until the plants are tall enough to do the job.Helpful Reply -

I had an above the ground pool in my previous home. What I did and looked great instantly was to make a path around with a concrete stone template. I’m attaching a picture at the end. This can be made in less than a day, I used quickcrete and is very chEap. I use only one template, filled out and move to the next spot beside.Helpful Reply -

Umbrellas would instantly add some fun lively colour, provide some shade on really hot days, and you don't have to wait for them to grow tall.Helpful Reply -

I'd use landscape cloth as an underlayment, then washed stone ( come in bags ) and a border retention form to keep the stones 'in', easy to mow right up to the edge -- then plant small shrubs - don't know your area but a good garden supply could advise you - that would not grow but about 2' tall; You could use 4 wood palettes places in a square for a 'landing' area for your steps/ladder, and in 'season' colorful annuals in big pots around that little 'patio'Helpful Reply -
