Creating your ideal outdoor space doesn’t have to be expensive. You can have a beautiful backyard no matter your budget. Here are some pool landscaping ideas that can give you the most bang for your buck.
Budget-friendly Ideas To Upgrade Your Pool Area
Clean your yard
Maybe your yard doesn’t look boring; it is just unkempt. Aside from your regular pool cleaning and maintenance services, make a habit of keeping your flower beds neatly trimmed and your garden free of weed. Tidying up your outdoor area is not only the best way to start but also the cheapest.
Create a path of stones
Recycled paving stones can make for an affordable yet elegant path around your pool area. These stones are broad and flat, so it should be comfortable walking on them even on bare feet. You can also plant low-growing plants in between the slabs for a swankier look.
Install ornamental grasses
Potted plants and trees are too common a sight in lawns and patios, so why not try something different for a change? Ornament grasses are great for adding a touch of chic and flair near your pool’s deck. They are more practical because they require almost no maintenance.
Add some shade
Sometimes, it’s nice to have space to lounge without getting the heat of the sun on your face. If your backyard lacks shade, but a pergola isn’t within your budget, a shade sail is a good alternative. For a chill but intimate vibe, you can also consider adding a hammock.
Play with lights
Whether it’s underwater lighting, floating lights, LED strips, or string lights, strategically illuminating your yard will make it even more aesthetically appealing. You can mix and match different types of lighting according to your fancy.
A couple of ideas:
Install colorful light fixtures of different quality for a funky vibe or drape string lights above your pool area for a hint of whimsy and a romantic, dream-like ambiance.
Invest in Professional Landscaping
You may be tempted to a do-it-yourself pool landscaping, but sometimes, DIY is not necessarily the best choice. If something goes wrong, it might end up costing you more.
Landscaping professionals, on the other hand, have the specialized knowledge to help you design an outdoor landscape that beautifully integrates and involves your pool.
So why not let the experts turn— within budget, of course—your pool landscaping dreams into reality?
