Things to consider when planning your garden: Take into account the amount of space to leave for other purposes, such as a Barbecue area, equipment shed, Compost and rubbish area, Clothes line or Kids area.

Use the space that’s left to integrate your pool into a general garden setting. Plants should be kept away from the pool for a number of reasons. If too close they tend to crowd in on the pool when your real objective is to create a spacious appearance.

If you decide on a saltwater chlorinator, remember some plants are intolerant of salt and keep maintenance to a minimum try and keep leaves and debris from getting into the pool as much as possible.

Another trap to avoid is planting trees or high growing shrubs on the north side of the pool as this may create to much shade at the beginning and end of the season. The reason you may break this rule is if you need privacy or a windbreak.
