This is a difficult one because above ground pools are the opposite of natural. However perhaps building a frame around the exterior made from fence boards so cover the exterior look then create focal points around areas of the base with plants and rocks.
In the case of making an above ground pool "beautifully neat and somewhat natural...there is no easy way to do it!!! The prettiest I have seen is to build a deck lower deck (or patio) for sitting and cooking out around the front of the pool, then a few steps up to an more narrow deck around the pool.
There has to be some pretty decking around these areas. Add some walkways to the pool from the house!
What would be stunning, but expensive, would be to build a large gazebo for sitting and cooking out of the sun with the back open leading up to a small deck around the pool (large and deep enough for some tanning chairs. There could be a couple of benches built in to store pool toys and equipment.
Then put a pretty skirting all the way around!!!
Make a waterfall of some kind........and a fountain.
Are you planning on digging a hole to fit this kiddie pool? Hopefully it’s just plain blue with no characters! You can get a small pond pump fairly cheaply, then put rocks around the rim with some pretty accent plants. You can buy some decorative pond plants for inside the “pond” and also add some clean rocks and the pump will make a nice bubbling sound.
