|
|
I am about to landscape around our new pool. I need suggestions for something that would help hide the new fence, be evergreen, take sun, and have a shallow or non-invasive root system. Any thoughts?
Are there any good sources that would discuss local plants for around the pool? |

Well...I'm thinking holly's or possibly nandina's if you like them. I'd stay away from any "flowering" bush/tree like crepe's etc. or flowering vines for 2 reasons: keeping the pool clean and because flowers attract bees (not good for entertaining or if you have kids). :D
I'm not sure how much room you have to work with, maybe if you could tell me more about the space I might be able to give you more ideas. I've designed a few pool areas, sometimes they can be challenging.
