When it comes to making your concrete pool look more natural, landscape design is key. The right combination of plants, flowers, and trees will help your oasis blend in seamlessly with the rest of your backyard. Below are a few ways to integrate nature into your pool design.

4 Natural Ways to Landscape Around Your Concrete Pool

1. Choose Indigenous Plants

If you want your pool to blend with the surrounding nature, incorporate plants and flowers that are native to Hawaii. These will thrive naturally without much maintenance, and it will support local eco-systems. Additionally, Hawaii has gorgeous, bright blooms that will make your swimming area vibrant.

2. Include Vines & Grasses

Climbing vines and ornamental grasses will make you feel even more at one with the natural world when you use your pool. Bamboo and zebra grasses act as natural walls of privacy, much like passion flowers and honeysuckles as they wrap around your pool fence. 

3. Incorporate Fragrant Flowers

You might also want to line your concrete pool with beautiful, aromatic flowers. Jasmine, gardenias, plumerias, and roses will fill the air with their sweet perfumes. Plant a few refreshing and fragrant herbs, too, such as lavender, rosemary, and mint. 

4. Don’t Forget Trees

Height is also important for pool landscaping. Trees will provide shade to keep the area cool, and they enclose the space by creating a natural fence. Palms and banana trees are tropical classics, while lemon trees and Japanese maples will add pops of color.
