Creating a Tropical Paradise: Plants and Landscaping for Your Pool Area

Creating a Tropical Paradise: Plants and Landscaping for Your Pool Area

Your backyard is just waiting to be transformed into the perfect private oasis. Imagine how you'd spend your free time if you could take a dip, relax in the shade, and enjoy nature all from your own property.

When you're installing a pool in your backyard, don't stop where the pool deck ends. At Cape Coral Pool Company, we offer landscaping services to turn your dream pool into a tropical paradise.

What kinds of plants and landscaping should you surround your Naples pool with? We're here to help.

Read on for the inspiration you need to create a tropical paradise in your backyard.

Start With Native Species

When you're getting ready to invest in plants and landscaping, consider how much work you want to put into the upkeep. If the answer is "little to none," your best bet is to stick with species that are native to South Florida, including:

  • Blackbead
  • Bahama Senna
  • Wild Coffee
  • Spanish Stopper
  • Florida Fiddlewood

You can also create shade with a variety of native palm trees, from the boisterous Foxtail Palm to the classic Royal Palm. Living in Florida, we have tons of colorful, tropical plants to choose from that won't need tons of upkeep after your Naples pool builder plants them on your property.

Attract Birds and Butterflies

If you love flora and fauna, talk to your Naples pool company about incorporating plants and flowers that attract pollinators. While birds and butterflies are drawn to the most rich and diverse landscapes, some varieties are more appealing to pollinators than others, including:

  • Agapanthus
  • Lantana
  • Milkweed
  • Pentas

If lounging on a pool float, watching butterflies fly by, and listening to birds sing sounds like your idea of paradise, pollinator-friendly florals that thrive in USDA growing zone 10 are perfect for your poolside landscaping.

Go Vertical for Small Spaces

As a top Cape Coral pool builder, we know how to make the most out of yards of all sizes. If you're working with a compact backyard, you can still create your dream pool. You can even create beautiful landscaping with vertical and container growers like:

  • Star Jasmine
  • Hibiscus
  • Angel's Trumpet
  • Mandevilla

Vining plants that grow well on a trellis or pergola won't take up much horizontal space as long as you keep them well-pruned. Plus, they'll provide the added bonus of increasing your privacy if neighboring yards feel too close by.
