You’ve done it – you’ve taken the plunge, you’ve jumped right in and invested in a pool for your family. You’re ready to enjoy many leisurely summer afternoons floating around or lounging poolside. But… there’s just something missing from your backyard’s overall aesthetic. You’ve forgotten the number one factor in your outdoor aesthetic success: pool landscaping. While it may seem daunting to plan and implement the perfect balance of attractiveness and functionality for your pool and yard, the Filoso Contracting team is here to help you with all of your landscaping needs!

Where Do You Start With Pool Landscaping?

Start by doing some research on what kind of landscaping would work best for your outdoor space. Do you prefer a more modern look? A tropical lagoon paradise? Maybe even a rustic feel? To start, we recommend browsing pool landscaping images on the Internet or create an inspiration board on Pinterest. Not only will finding inspiration help you decide what kind of aesthetic you prefer, it can also help our design team understand what your vision is.

However, don’t assume that every landscape you see in pictures will work for your particular yard. Landscaping in general is unique to each space and the best way to get the look you want is to meet with Filoso Contracting. Our design team can help you decide on a plan that works best to transform your outdoor space.

Why Pool Landscaping Is Important

Owning a pool without proper landscaping is just like having a patio without furniture; your space won’t be used or enjoyed to the fullest without it. Typically, homeowners want to spend more time in the spaces that look best. If you invest in landscaping your pool and backyard, you will ultimately use it more, simply because it will be more pleasing to the eye and a source of pride

Additionally, landscaping increases your home’s overall value. When you are ready to sell your home, you will be glad you invested in landscaping your pool.

Stay Committed to Your Pool Landscaping

Like a new puppy, landscaping takes work and dedication. While the Filoso Contracting team can transform your pool space into your own beautiful oasis, it is up to the homeowner to stay on top of general maintenance in order to make the work last. A well-kept yard is a beautiful yard, so staying on top of leaves, the removal of debris and even weeds will ensure a lasting aesthetic as well.
