Swimming Pool Landscaping Ideas
Stepping Stones On A Gravel Path
Landscaping around a swimming pool doesn't have to be fancy to look good. Actually, something like this is so much easier to take care of than having mulch or dirt beds around your pool. Even if you do have a lot of plants near the swimming area, gravel is a much better ground cover than dirt or mulch which can be blown into the pool by wind or washed into it by rain.
A border like this is also a great idea for separating the lawn area from the water. Mowing and trimming most always throws up debris. If they get blown into the gravel buffer area, it's much easier to clean than in the pool filter.
For comfort on bare feet, the surface of these stepping stones should be made from cool deck or some other surface for for surrounding pools.
