    Salt sprinkled on heavily if you don't want a chance of chemicals carried in on bare feet. If you can find cattle salt (flakes or granular) at a farm supply store or such it is cheaper.

    When I had my pool I had a sand mount under it. Spray a weed killer around the pool then cover with newspaper and black trash bags. Then add mulch or stones (small pebbles are best ). To decorate add potted plants and a small tub to rinse off any dirt from the feet before diving in.


  • Lay garden fabric around the base of the pool. Lay mulch or rock on top of the fabric. Note: if laying mulch, place large rocks, bricks, or plastic garden edging around the outside edge of the mulch to keep it from drifting into the lawn . Decorate with flower pots, larger rocks, garden decorations, and solar lights. Have fun creating a beautiful frame to enhance the pool area!
