Poolscaping:
Gardening and Landscaping Around Your Swimming Pool and Spa
by Catriona Tudor Erler
Hardcover: 208 pages ISBN: 1580173861
Publisher: Storey Publishing, LLC (March 1, 2006) |
How to make your swimming pool the
lovely, welcoming centerpiece of your property. Go step by step through the poolscaping
process, whether starting from scratch or renovating an existing pool. The author begins
with choosing the best location for the pool and designing (or refurbishing) the deck and
edging. She presents a host of ideas for dramatic pool lighting, including underwater
options. The fencing chapter addresses choosing styles as well as safety issues and even
how to disguise a fence with plantings.
Included are design options for building or renovating a spa adjacent to the pool, and how
to incorporate furnishings, pergolas, and pool houses into the poolscape. A plant
directory features the best poolside plants, with a focus on varieties of flowers, vines,
and shrubs that are low maintenance and look attractive throughout the pool season. Erler
also offers ideas for outstanding poolside planters and containers for bringing greenery
and color right up to the pool. |
