Layered planting, screening, lawns and beds that frame the pool and give the yard privacy and color.
Planting is what makes a pool feel at home. Screens give privacy, ornamental grasses and flowering shrubs soften hard edges, shade trees cool the patio and evergreen beds keep the view alive in winter.
We design with Tennessee conditions in mind: heat, humidity, clay soil and winter cold. Plants are selected for pool use, with attention to leaf drop, thorns and chemicals. Irrigation, lawn, lighting and mulch details finish the design, and we phase planting so it matures nicely. We also pay attention to maintenance, because the best planting plan is the one you can enjoy without constant work. Mulch, drip irrigation and plants matched to sun and soil keep the beds healthy and tidy through the seasons, and we leave you with a simple care schedule.
Screening with evergreens, hedges and layered beds makes the pool feel secluded. We choose plants that grow well and stay tidy.
Some plants drop leaves, flowers or berries into the water. We pick species and positions that keep the pool cleaner.
Combining evergreens, grasses and seasonal color gives the yard shape in every month.
Soil preparation, watering and mulch decide how plants establish. We provide a first-season care guide.
