Designing your pool area? The right landscaping can make your outdoor space feel finished, but the trick is choosing plants that thrive in full sun and don't drop too much debris. Look for varieties that are salt and chlorine tolerant, low litter, and won't cause issues with large root systems over time.
Here are some Aussie favourites:
Palms are perfect for height, shade and a relaxed poolside feel. Agaves and other succulents are tough, low maintenance options that handle heat and dry conditions well. Shrubs or hedges are ideal for creating privacy and defining the space. Bird of Paradise adds structure and colour while thriving in full sun.
For best results, plant with a bit of space from the pool edge to protect your greenery from splashes and keep your water cleaner. A well planned garden doesn't just look good, it helps your filtration system work more efficiently too.
