When is a swimming pool so much more than a swimming pool? In short, when it is the inspiration for your personal backyard oasis. Whether you dream of lush green grasses and tropical plants or strategically placed boulders and stone features, Osceola Aquatics can take your ideas and turn them into reality.
Plan
Landscaping, or pool scaping in this case, starts with an idea. That idea then turns into a plan. As the plan begins to take shape, you could make the changes to your property that you have envisioned. To get things moving in the right direction, you may want to sketch a rough outline, or even make a list of elements you would like to see in your space.
Know Your Options
Each region supports certain types of plant life. For your pools cape to thrive, you will need to choose plants and flowers that will tolerate the heat of Florida summers. Determining which shrubs and trees will be within a screened-in pool area or part of the surrounding landscape is important, so the screen is not damaged by fast or untamed growth.
Greenery
If you have a green thumb and love being surrounded by nature, an exotic pools cape teeming with tropical plants may be right for you. As a bonus, with proper planning, an abundance of vegetation offers added privacy. Trees, hedges, and shrubs are particularly good at blocking wandering eyes. Depending upon space, hanging baskets, large planters, or raised beds can add pops of color when filled with your favorite annuals and perennials. When seasons change, colorful annual container plants can be swapped out for varieties that like cooler temperatures.
Stonework
The simplicity of stone, brick, and decking makes it attractive for many people with busy lives who prefer not having extra plant life to maintain. This doesn’t mean your pools cape needs to be boring. Go for texture and contrast to appeal to the senses. Mix it up with rocks and stone slabs. Check out the different colors and shapes of available pavers. Waterfalls and fountains create a level of luxury in a pools cape that appeals to many people. Ornamental grasses bring in nature and require minimal maintenance.
Safety First
A screened in pool is common in Florida to provide protection from pests and a bit of shade from the sun. Consider the added privacy and safety a fence can deliver, especially if you have small children. Unfortunately, the privacy afforded by hedges, shrubs, and trees does not keep people and animals out of your pool area. If you live near others, or to natural waterways, the barrier provided by a fence is invaluable.
