Privacy Issues

Spruce and arborvitae trees work well in providing needed privacy by acting as a natural fencing. By correctly spacing the trees, shrubs and plants it ensures they will get the nutrients they need and enough space as well to reach their mature size.

Maintenance

You can keep your landscaping low-maintenance by avoiding plants that drop leaves, needles, cones, nuts, fruits and other debris in and around the pool area. Plant them at least 6 to 8 feet away from the edge of the pool.

Problem Areas

By adding boulders, stone walkways, multi-dimensional levels and retaining walls, you can turn unsightly or problematic areas into great functional assets to your yard by redirecting the flow and providing solutions to your issues.
