Imaginative Pool Landscape Ideas for Imagine Pools

As homeowners, we’re continually seeking ways to make our spaces more enjoyable and inviting. For families with pools, this isn’t just about the pool itself. It is also about the ambiance and environment around it. If you’ve invested in a fiberglass pool from Imagine Pools, a brand that understands family fun, you’re already ahead of the game when it comes to creating a wonderful ambiance for your backyard.

Imagine lounging by the pool and every time you look up, you’re greeted by lush, tropical plants.

Palm Trees: Depending on your climate, varieties like the windmill palm can tolerate cooler temperatures.
Bird of Paradise: This vibrant plant mimics the hues of a sunset.
Banana Plants: Even if they don’t fruit, their large leaves add a tropical flair.

Create a designated space for the kids that stimulates their imagination.

Pirate’s Nook: Incorporate a small wooden ship playground. Then, use sand as ground cover to mimic a beach.
Fairy Garden: Set aside a corner with whimsical fairy statues, colorful flowers and tiny solar-powered lights for nighttime magic.

While the kids play, adults deserve relaxation. Surround a section of your pool with:

Bamboo Walls: These can serve as a natural barrier and provide privacy.
Stone Pathways: These can lead to a serene sitting area.
Tranquil Water Features: Consider a mini waterfall or a koi pond adjacent to the pool.

These are especially suited for freeform fiberglass pools. Natural rock can create:

Waterfalls: Over which the water cascades gently back into the pool.
Grottos: A fun hideaway or shaded area.
Steppingstones: These can lead from the pool to another area of the garden.

Gardens around the pool don’t have to be standard. Consider these fun ideas:

Desert Oasis: Think cacti, agave and ornamental grasses for a low-maintenance, water-efficient garden.
Mediterranean Dream: Olive trees, lavender and rosemary can transport you to the European coastline.

Consider dedicating parts of your landscape to sustainable practices.

Rain Garden: This can help in managing pool runoff. Plus, it just looks beautiful.
Native Plants: Using plants native to your region can save water and support local ecosystems.

Make your poolside multifunctional. Here’s how:

Fire Pit: Perfect for evening pool parties.
Outdoor Kitchen: For those barbecues and poolside snacks.
Shaded Pergola: Offer a break from the sun with comfortable seating underneath.

Remember, family-friendly means safe. While designing your landscape, take the following into consideration:

Pool Fencing: Opt for decorative yet sturdy fences. Ensure gates are self-closing and self-latching.
Non-Slip Paths: Ensure that pathways, especially those near the pool, are made from non-slip materials.

The immediate border of your pool can be brightened up with:

Mosaic Tiles: These can add a touch of Mediterranean flair.
Colorful Plants: Marigolds, begonias and zinnias come to mind here. They not only beautify the space but can also act as a natural repellent for some pests.

As evening falls, your pool landscape can come alive with the magic of lights:

Solar-Powered Path Lights: These can line pathways or highlight plant beds.
Underwater Pool Lights: These not only enhance safety but also add a magical touch to night-time swimming.
String Lights: Drape them across the sitting area or around the pool for a cozy ambiance.

Imagine Pools caters to family fun. We believe your surrounding landscape should amplify this experience. Whether you’re embarking on a tropical escape, a Mediterranean journey or creating a children’s fantasyland, there are boundless possibilities to enhance your pool area.
