Selection criteria: Beauty without trash

The main problem with pools is pollution. That's why we avoid:

  • Deciduous trees: Autumn leaves are a nightmare for cleaning robots.
  • Flowering species with small flowers: Plants such as lindens or jasmines can cover the surface of the water for hours.
  • Prickly plants: Yuki, cacti or roses should not be near the paths, where people walk barefoot and in bathing suits.

Tropical radiation with resistant species

To achieve “Resort” style, bet on plants with large leaves and an exotic structure, which are adapted to our climate:

  • Lavrovishna (Laurocerasus): There are shiny ones, large leaves, is evergreen and not “stain”.
  • Ornamental grasses (Miscanthus, Penisetum): They give lightness and movement at the slightest breeze.
  • Indian lilac (Lagerstroemia): If you want color, that's the choice. Blooms profusely in summer, and its colors don't come off so easily in the pool.

Privacy areas around the pool

No one wants to swim under the eyes of the neighbors. The use of high narrow coniferous (like Thuja Emerald) или bamboo in pots creates a living wall, which stops the wind and provides complete comfort.

Be careful with the root system!

Never plant trees with aggressive roots (such as willows or poplars) near the pool. They can break through the waterproofing or damage the piping of the filtration system. Always keep a distance of at least 3-4 meters for large vegetation.
